' This sample shows you how to add bitmaps to your
' menu items.  First, you must retrieve the VB menu handle
' with the GetMenu API call.  Then, you set the Unchecked and
' Checked bitmaps (I don't differentiate between the two
' with this example - usually you would put a checkmark in
' the bitmap and use that for Checked).
'
' Note that the Picture property of an Image control (or
' a Picture control) is the Bitmap Handle, this the Image
' controls can be used like a bitmap resource.
'
' I also have one sub menu so that you can see how getting
' submenu handles and item positions works.

Private Declare Function GetMenu Lib "user32" _
   (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function GetSubMenu Lib "user32" _
   (ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal nPos As Long) As Long

Private Declare Function SetMenuItemBitmaps Lib "user32" _
   (ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal nPosition As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long, _
    ByVal hBitmapUnchecked As Long, ByVal hBitmapChecked As Long) As Long

Const MF_BYPOSITION = &H400&

' VB 5 doesn't need this declration, but VB 4 does.
' Private Declare Function VarPtr Lib "VB40032.DLL" (variable As Any) As Long

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim mHandle As Long, lRet As Long, sHandle As Long, sHandle2 As Long
    mHandle = GetMenu(hwnd)
    sHandle = GetSubMenu(mHandle, 0)
    lRet = SetMenuItemBitmaps(sHandle, 0, MF_BYPOSITION, imOpen.Picture, imOpen.Picture)
    lRet = SetMenuItemBitmaps(sHandle, 1, MF_BYPOSITION, imSave.Picture, imSave.Picture)
    lRet = SetMenuItemBitmaps(sHandle, 3, MF_BYPOSITION, imPrint.Picture, imPrint.Picture)
    lRet = SetMenuItemBitmaps(sHandle, 4, MF_BYPOSITION, imPrintSetup.Picture, imPrintSetup.Picture)
    sHandle = GetSubMenu(mHandle, 1)
    sHandle2 = GetSubMenu(sHandle, 0)
    lRet = SetMenuItemBitmaps(sHandle2, 0, MF_BYPOSITION, imCopy.Picture, imCopy.Picture)
End Sub

hope this helps
