Have you been envious of the Windows 95 Start Menu, because of the way it's able to display bitmaps on its menu items? Well, it's not too hard to add small bitmaps to your menu items by using the following function:
procedure AddBitmapToMenuItem( |
To keep the bitmaps for your menu items built into your application:
- Drop a "TImage" component on your form.
- Assign a bitmap of your choice to the "Picture" property of the newly created "TImage" component.
- Call "AddBitmapToMenuItem()" function as follows from your "FormCreate()" event (assuming that the pop-up menu that you're assigning the bitmap to is named "PopupMenu1," the image component you're using is named "Image1," and the position of the actual menu item you want to set the bitmap on is 0 -- 1st item = 0, 2nd item = 1, 3rd item = 2, etc.):
AddBitmapToMenuItem(
PopupMenu1,
0,
Image1.Picture.Bitmap );
procedure TForm1.
FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
BMP : TBitmap;
begin
BMP := TBitmap.Create;
BMP.LoadFromFile(
'MyBitmap.BMP' );
AddBitmapToMenuItem(
PopupMenu1, 0, BMP );
end;
