Re: menuitem bitmap problems

Thanks Alan. Yes 16x16 seems to be the best, but it works reasonably well
so long as the H x W are equal.

To get these flags, I've taken larger flags BMPs, resized them to
approximately 26 x 13 pixels, and saved them to another BMP file. In
Delphi
5 I click the Bitmap property's ellipsis to open the Picture Editor. Then,
click Load, find the flag BMP file, and click OK. It shows up correctly in
the Picture Editor window. When I click OK on the Picture Editor window,
something happens to the BMP. It doesn't appear correctly in the menu
item.

I think the bitmaps may have to be 16 x 16. You may be able to use a
bigger bitmap if you use owner-draw of the menu-item. Or you might be
able to use a larger bitmap if you place it with an API call and
enuItemInfo structure.

Try a 16 x 16 bitmap to see if that solves it.
