Main Menu Color

Hi Experts,

In VB.NET, is it possible to change the background color of the main menu control and the tabbed control? I just want black text on a white background.

Many thanks in advance

If those controls don't have a BackColor property, then you'll have to cerate your own versions by inheriting from them, adding a BackColor property, and on the paint event, read the value of that property and apply it.

Hi Bob,

Excellent. I have made the changes suggested in the comments below to allow the menu background color to be changed but (this may sound silly) how do I get this to work?

I have compiled the DLL and added to another test project with the idea of creating a test menu... but how?

Sorry to be such a idiot! can you help?

So, you have a class defined, and you are trying to figure out how to use it, right?  I am not quite sure where you are having problems.
