Hi,

is it possible to make large menus multi column like the windows start menu instead of using the scrolling arrows on top and bottom of the menu?

Here an example for a start menu which has more entries than the screen height.

Thanks for the info.

It works with the help of MI_GetMenuHandle from Menu Icons v2

Code:

SysGet, WorkArea, MonitorWorkArea
WorkAreaWidth  := WorkAreaRight-WorkAreaLeft
WorkAreaHeight := WorkAreaBottom-WorkAreaTop
SysGet, MenuBarHeight, 15

MenuHandle := GetMenuHandle("Tray")

TrayMenuItemCount := DllCall("GetMenuItemCount","uint",TrayMenuHandle)
MenuItemHeight := MenuBarHeight-3
If MenuItemHeight*TrayMenuItemCount > WorkAreaHeight
{
   TrayMenuBreak := TrayMenuItemCount/2
   VarSetCapacity(mii,48,0)
   NumPut(48,mii)
   NumPut(0x10,mii,4) ; fMask = MIIM_TYPE
   NumPut(0x160,mii,8) ; fType = RGB_VERTICALBARBREAK
   DllCall("SetMenuItemInfo","uint",TrayMenuHandle,"uint",TrayMenuBreak,"uint",1,"uint",&mii)
}

Does anybody know if it is possible to insert a menu item into an existing menu. My code changes one menu item to a separator, so this item is missing in the menu.
