Hi

I am trying to force a drawitem for an owner drawn menuitem. As the
menuitem has no invalidate method i thought that i could just call the
overriden drawitem method, this need a DrawItemEventArgs parameter,
which i cannot create for the MenuItem. Anyone know how to force it?

I can create it using the CreateGraphics property of the parent
control, however this redraws the menuitem on the parent control
rather than the menu item... not so good:



Thanks

Tom

Hi Tom,

Look at the work-around section of the following article for the code snippet
in C# to create a new DrawItemEventArgs object.

You can follow the same logic in VB .net.

Hope this helps!
