Adding a bitmap in custom contextual menu

maisoui — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 09:02:38 GMT

Hi,

I've created a custom contextual menu, and I'd like to add a bitmap (as icon) to agrement my menu. Standard ways to add bitmap to menu seem to not work, and after a few search, I've found an example on the ADN. You can find here.

It explains that developer needs to use GDI+ to load bitmap and create a MENUITEMINFO to edit or insert a menu item. Afer using this code, I was able to add an item in my menu with an icon, but the problem was that the entire graphical representation of the menu was modified (look at the image).

left side = original AutoCAD menu // right side = AutoCAD menu with custom menu appended

Has anyone already encountered this problem?

All suggestions are welcomed.

Best regards,

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

I have seen a similar behavior that was reproducible on 64 bit systems while it worked ok on 32 bit systems.

We already have a change request logged for this behavior.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I forgot to mention that I develop on Windows 7 64 bits.

Is it possible to have a link on a tracking page for this request?

Regards,

Jonathan
