Hi,

I tried below things to set the background color of Menu:
m_Menu.DestroyMenu();

m_Menu.CreatePopupMenu();

MENUINFO menuInfo = {sizeof(MENUINFO)};

::GetMenuInfo(m_Menu.m_hMenu, &menuInfo);

menuInfo.fMask |= MIM_BACKGROUND|MIM_MAXHEIGHT;

CBrush aMenuBgBrush(sysMenuColor_new);

menuInfo.hbrBack = aMenuBgBrush;

menuInfo.cyMax = HPEDITOR_HEIGHT ;

::SetMenuInfo(m_Menu.m_hMenu,&menuInfo);

The above code snippet, change the background color of Menu except the
Scroll.

Then tried using below code:

int aiElement = COLOR_MENU;

COLORREF sysMenuColor_old = GetSysColor(aiElement);

COLORREF sysMenuColor_new = RGB(0,192,192);

SetSysColors(1,&aiElement,&sysMenuColor_new);

The above code snippet create lot of flickering when it set or resets the
System menu color.

Could anybody suggest a solution to set the Scroll color of the CMenu?

Also when we change the Menu Item color in the
Desktop->Properties->Appearance->advanced . This changes the color

the
scroll. How to achive the same in my mfc application.

Thanks and Regards

Hi All,

I have CMenu with a long list of items, that a default scroll appears on
top and bottom of CMenu container.

In our Current deployment set up , these scroll Arrow (black) is not
visible, as the Background of the Scroll and the arrow is same?

Is there a way to set the color of this scroll background, so that I can
make the arrow visible ?

Thanks and Regards
Shalini

BOOL SetMenuBrColor(HMENU hMenu, COLORREF clr)
{
MENUINFO mi;
mi.cbSize = sizeof(MENUINFO);
mi.fMask = MIM_BACKGROUND ;
mi.hbrBack = CreateSolidBrush(clr);
return SetMenuInfo(hMenu, &mi);
}
