I've altered the forms default system menu using Win32 API calls and I've subclassed the forms WindowProc so that I can draw my additions to the menu. I found that I had to draw the additions to the menu myself because one of the items is a 'caption' that I want in bold and I do not want it selected on MouseOver and the other item which is also in bold has a short-cut. In all, there are 3 items that I want displayed as bold text. Is there anyway to do this without drawing the item myself? Also, is there a way to associate a short-cut string with an item so that I don't have to draw it myself? Lastly, I'd like to have a common draw function but I can't figure out how to locate the the string for the item. At the moment I'm brute-forcing it by checking the DRAWITEMSTRUCT itemData value and drawing a literal. Any help on any of the issues is appreciated. ~ JD
