MainMenu Paint

[VSNT]

Is there a way to paint the backcolor of a main menu. I
can paint the menu ites from the size and paint events
but there doesnot appear to be an accessable paint method
for the actual MainMenu control. The Idea is to not have
a standard windows MainMenu (AKA: Gray in in most cases)
but something that matches and flows with the rest of the
GUI. Any ideas much apreciated.
Thanks,
Allen

Maybe you should have a look at the implementation of the menu control
contained in the Magic Library[1].

Yes the Magic lib is nice but i need to color the actual
menubar not just the menu items which the magic library
as far as i can see only does the menu items using there
paint event not the actual menubar. If its in there and i
just cant find it could you give me a hint to where it
is. Greatly apreciated.
