adding bitmaps to menu items

[Greg Merideth]

I'm amazed that putting an icon next to a menu item using
c#, even from within visual studio, is so damm difficult.

Does anyone have any code samples or tutorials on how to
do this, amazingly easy thing in visual basic?

I found a piece of code that claims you have to override
the menu draw methods and use your own supplied ones, is
that how it is??

Thanks.

Yes, there is a free control that might help you at http://divil.co.uk/net
Otherwise, you will either need to create your own MenuItems (which won't
work in the designer), or write your own owner draw routines. There are also
some nice toolbar controls out there that make this easier, and I've also
heard that Whidbey will support this.

Thank you, I've downloaded it and experimenting now.
