Re: Add font / color to Popup Menu

Martin,

In Windows, the menu item font and color are set system wide. You can
change the font and / or color by going to the Desktop, right-click ->
properties -> appearance. There is no way to set a menu item font or
color individually.

The only thing you can do, when you are directly using the Windows
API, is create owner drawn menu items. When you do this, you are
completely responsible for drawing the menu item. There is nothing in
ooDialog to expose this functionality to the ooRexx programmer, so you
can not create owner drawn menu items in ooDialog.

It's something that could possibly be added to ooDialog, but it would
be a fair amount of work. It is not something that could easily be
added.

P.S. Are you using ooRexx 3.2.0 yet?

Hi Mark,
thanks for that information....
Yes we are using 320 now. It seems that the appearance of the dialog
items has been changed, the elements looks much better.
Unfortunately it seems also that for a ListControl the required space
for the related columns has been changed and I need to expand the
required space of each column now otherwise the text at the columns
are shown with trailing dots....

..... Martin
