'This code sample will change the actual menu bitmaps size,
'     'font size, color, and caption. Run the application and 'sel
'     ect the BitMenu and view the selections. Then click 'the for
'     m and revisit the BitMenu. '--------------------------------

'     '* Example to create a dynamic menu system
hMenu% = GetMenu(hWnd)
hSubMenu% = GetSubMenu(hMenu%, 0)

For i% = 0 To Number_of_Menu_Selections - 1
       '     '* Place some text into the menu.
        SubMenu(i%).Caption = Picture3(i%).FontName +
       Str$(Picture3(i%).FontSize) + " Pnt"
       '     '* 1. Must be AutoRedraw for Image().

       '     '* bitmap
        x% = SetMenuItemBitmaps(hMenu%, menuId%, 0, 0, CLng(picture2.Picture))
Next i%

End Sub

Running your function I get an error on this line:
SubMenu(i%).Caption = Picture3(i%).FontName +
           Str$(Picture3(i%).FontSize) + " Pnt"

After changing "SubMenu(i%)" to "hSubMenu(i%)" I get an error: "Expected Array".

Can you Please send a simple Working Example ?
