Hi!
For double the menu items height:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender
var
Dato: TNonCLientMetrics;
begin
Dato.cbSize:=SizeOf(Dato);
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_G
Caption:=IntToStr(Dato.iMe
//Double height:
Dato.iMenuHeight:=Dato.iMe
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_S
end;
hello PaulP, , you can do an "Owner Draw" menu and set the menu item height, however, you will also need to draw the menu items. . .
you might look at this EE question -
http://www.experts-exchang
and the FontMenu component that is there, that component will do a change of menu Font, if you use a larger fomt than it does larger menu items.
ask questions if you need more infomation
for TPopupMenu set OwnerDraw := true; (worked for me)
for TMainmenu set OwnerDraw := true; (haven't tried it, should work)
someMnuItem: tMenuItem;
someMnuItem.OnMeasureItem := mnuMeasureItem;
procedure tForm.mnuMeasureItem(Sende
begin
Height := Height * 2;
end;

For alike app I suggest to use TgnCoolMenu vcl. A menubar is better as a standard menu for touch screen app. Take a look here for a demo:

It will let to use any height and width and you can personalize your headers and items.
