MFC ownerdraw menu size

Question

I'm wondering how I can set the size of an ownerdraw CMenu using his own text.

Looking at the documentation:

void CColorMenu::MeasureItem(LPMEASUREITEMSTRUCT lpMIS)
{
   // all items are of fixed size
   lpMIS->itemWidth = COLOR_BOX_WIDTH;
   lpMIS->itemHeight = COLOR_BOX_HEIGHT;
}

But using this approach I have the same size for all the menus. How I can have dynamic dimension of the menu and submenu as for the standard windows menu?

Answer 1

You have to identity the item you want to draw by the given information in the MEASUREITEMSTRUCT. Just read the docs ind the MSDN .

You receive this message for each item in the menu.
