Ok I got my OwnerDraw Menu all done except for one thing and it's kind of
driving me up the
wall. =p How do I draw the underscore for each menu item?
Thanks

I guess I was a little vague and kind of rushed the post.

I know you use the ampersand for the underscore.
I guess the question is how do I get Left and width of
the character that follows the ampersand to draw my
line?
Thanks

Use the Win32 API function DrawText. It automatically underlines the

character following the &.

Thanks so much that works a lot better than trying to draw it. ^ ^

Thanks for everyone's help.
