What is the flag i need to pass to my memu item in order for the font style to change to bold like msn and other win32 apps?

I tried MF_DEFAULT but this didnt work.

I don't know much about the api, yet, but i've noticed menus and window text appear to be the same. So, if you can make bolded text in other areas, you might be able to use that code to bold your menu text, but i know so little about the winapi that i don't know if you can bold a text before calling the function that prints it in menu format...

How do you set MF_DEFAULT?

I just tried adding "invoke SetMenuDefaultItem, [hTrayMenu], IDM_SHOWHIDE, FALSE" to http://flatassembler.net/examples/tray.zip just below of "invoke AppendMenu, eax, MF_STRING, IDM_SHOWHIDE, szShowHide" and worked great.

Note that AppendMenu does not accept MF_DEFAULT flag, you have to use InsertMenuItem but it requires a MENUITEMINFO and I think is a little bit hard to use than AppendMenu and then SetMenuDefaultItem.

yea i tried SetMenuDefaultItem and it worked great.

push 0 ; fByPos
push IDM_REFRESH ; uItem
push [hPopupMenu] ; hMenu
call [SetMenuDefaultItem]
