Question Changing the Look of a Main Menu Bar


Hello,

I’ve been working on putting the final touches on my menu system for a program I’ve been working on the last few months. I’m trying to change the way my menus look when it viewed and when anything is selected. I like the why the menus in “Visual Studio .net:” program look so I've decided to try and copy that look over to my program. But I don’t have a clue as to how to go about making the changes. Any help would be greatly welcomed. I have included a screen shoot of the menu system. From VS.Net

Hi, well this would be a big undertaking to do yourself and is usually the preserve of 3rd party control!
But of course that involves $$, there are some free ones about but I cant vouch for them.
Its all a trade off, whether you to have the time to try yourself

There are some many to choose from, it’s a mine field!
