- Thanks for this Bill but I don't have quick access to this book. I have
- looked at the section on using bitmaps in menus but it seems to me
- that the entire menu item that is changed
- with ModifyMebu has to be a bit map.
-
- What I want to do is have a text string followed by an arrow symbol.
- Is there a slick way to write the string to the Menu item
- in the normal way and then add the arrow symbol either by:
-
- a) changing to another font, appending the arrow, then changing back to
- the system font.
-
- b) appending the bitmap of an arrow to the existing menu item.
-
- Thanks in advance.
