    My comment:
    All VFP menu items are of OWNERDRAW type. That means the main VFP window receives at least two types of menu-related window messages: WM_MEASUREITEM and WM_DRAWITEM.

    The first one is received when a menu item is created. The second message -- every time an item has to be drawn or redrawn (for example, when selected or unselected).

    VFP9 allows intercepting window messages (BINDEVENT). So an application can receive and process the WM_DRAWITEM and other menu-related window messages.
