Is there a way to get a menustrip instead of an HMENU when using the WinAPI? Like menus that .Net applications use? Because the HMENU just doesn’t fit my color scheme, I need a darker menu.
Thanks

If you don’t like the system defaults, you can owner-draw the menu. If you only need to support Windows Vista and higher, you can follow this article. Otherwise you need to call ModifyMenu() on your menu items and set MF_OWNERDRAW and everything that comes with that.
