pascal OSStatus DrawThemeMenuBackground (
                     const Rect *inMenuRect,
                     ThemeMenuType inMenuType);

inMenuRect

On input, a pointer to a rectangle, which should contain the entire menu.

inMenuType

A value specifying the type of menu (pull-down, pop-up, or hierarchical) for which a background is being drawn; see "Appearance-Compliant Menu Type Constants".

function result

A result code; see "Result Codes".

DISCUSSION

The DrawThemeMenuBackground function draws a menu background in the rectangle specified; it should be called when you are writing a custom menu bar definition function and wish to coordinate with the current theme.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Make sure Appearance Manager 1.0.1 is present before calling the DrawThemeMenuBackground function. See "Appearance Manager Gestalt Selector Constants" for details on how to determine if the Appearance Manager is present and what its version is, if so.
