Is there any way to use a colored background on a VDS
window behind the Menu's without using an extra DLL...?

Or...is there a way to use CLICK on a BMP and have a
drop down menu ?

You can use the CLICK style on a BITMAP
element, and have it cause a POPUP menu...

Or you can make your own custom menus using
child windows as shown here (even animated ones)
and use whatever background ya want.

There's a few pages to this thread, I'd check them
all to see what improvements were added. Wink

Here's a rough outline for a colored back for a menu...use the %%use_bitbtns variable to tell if you would like to use the BITBTNS...

Code:
Title Menu Demonstration
%%use_bitbtns = yes
if @equal(%%use_bitbtns,yes)
  DIALOG CREATE,Menu Demonstration,-1,0,240,160
  DIALOG ADD,STYLE,MB,,,,LIME,
  DIALOG ADD,GROUP,sep,23,0,241,2
  DIALOG ADD,BITBTN,File,2,2,32,18,,File
  DIALOG ADD,BITBTN,About,2,38,32,18,,About
  DIALOG ADD,TEXT,DialogT,60,68,51,13,DialogText
  DIALOG ADD,SHAPE,SHAPE1,75,70,,,WHITE,BLACK,,SQUARE
  DIALOG ADD,TEXT,MBACK,0,0,240,24,,,MB
  DIALOG SHOW
  else
  DIALOG CREATE,Menu Demonstration,-1,0,240,160
  DIALOG ADD,STYLE,MB,,,L,LIME,
  DIALOG ADD,GROUP,sep,23,0,241,2
  DIALOG ADD,TEXT,DialogT,60,68,51,13,DialogText
  DIALOG ADD,SHAPE,SHAPE1,75,70,,,WHITE,BLACK,,SQUARE
  DIALOG ADD,TEXT,MBACK,0,0,240,24,,,MB
  DIALOG ADD,TEXT,File,5,7,26,13,File,,TRANSPARENT,CLICK
  DIALOG SHOW
  end
:Evloop
  wait event
  goto @event()
:FileCLICK
:FileBUTTON
  dialog popup,&Menu Item 1|M&enu Item 2|E&xit
  goto evloop
:AboutBUTTON
  dialog popup,A&bout
  goto evloop
:AboutMENU
  info By FreezingFire...
  goto evloop
:Menu Item 1MENU
:Menu Item 2MENU
  info Menu Item Event
  goto evloop
:ExitMENU
:Close
  exit
