Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to find out a form menu height/color as i think
it changes depending on various Windows settings.
I need to create a form of height/color of form menu so that i can place
it over without user noticing it.

Thank you,
Andrey
 
Hi MuZZy,

Welcome to MSDN newsgroup.
Regarding on the question on finding out form menu's height and color,
based on my understanding, for those system specific standard size
information, we need to query them through the

#GetSystemMetrics
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/getsystemmetrics.asp?fr
ame=true

and the SM_CYMENU is just the constant used to mapping the single line Menu
bar height .....

For the color info, there is one class called "SystemColors" which contains
most windows standard control colors as its constant member properties:

#SystemColors Class
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemdrawingsystemc
olorsclasstopic.asp?frame=true

You can have a look in those member colors.

Hope helps. Thanks,
