CreateImageMenu()

Syntax

Result = CreateImageMenu(#Menu, WindowID [, Flags])

Creates a new empty menu on the given window with support for images in the menu items.

Parameters

#Menu	A number to identify the new menu. #PB_Any can be used to auto-generate this number.
WindowID	The window for the new menu. It can be obtained using the WindowID() function.
Flags (optional)	It can be one of the following value: #PB_Menu_NativeImageSize: Uses the native size of images when rendering menu items (Windows only).

Return value

Nonzero if the menu was successfully created, zero otherwise. If #PB_Any was used for the #Menu parameter then the generated number is returned on success.

Remarks

Once created, this menu becomes the current menu for further item additions. It's now possible to use functions such as MenuTitle(), MenuItem(), MenuBar(), OpenSubMenu() to populate the menu.

To handle menu events properly, see the description of following functions:
WaitWindowEvent() (alternatively WindowEvent())
EventWindow()
EventMenu()
