ExMenu.Background Property (ExMenu)

The Background property specifies a background color or a visual appearance for specific parts in the control. If the Background property is 0, the control draws the part as default. Use the Add method to add new skins to the control. Use the Remove method to remove a specific skin from the control. Use the Clear method to remove all skins in the control.

The following VB sample changes the appearance for the separator item. The sample uses the "" skin.

With ExMenu1
    .VisualAppearance.Add 4, "D:\Temp\ExMenu.Help\separator.ebn"
    .Background(exSeparatorItem) = &H4000000
End With

The following C++ sample changes the appearance for the separator item:

#include "Appearance.h"
m_menu.GetVisualAppearance().Add( 4, COleVariant( "D:\\Temp\\ExMenu.Help\\separator.ebn" ) );
m_menu.SetBackground( 0, 0x4000000 );
