Change fg/bg Colour for menu items [MSW2.9]

[Andreas Oppermann]

I played around in the ownerdrw.cpp sample and found out that
only during creation you have to specify the attribute "IsOwnerDrawn"
because there is a different handling:

"wx/src/msw/menu.cpp"
// append a new item or submenu to the menu
bool wxMenu::DoInsertOrAppend(wxMenuItem *pItem, size_t pos)
.....
    if ( !pItem->IsOwnerDrawn() && !pItem->IsSeparator() )
.....
    if ( pItem->IsOwnerDrawn() )
.....

In my case (loading complete menu tree during XRC) all the insertation is 
done.
My solution is to create a new menutree with the existing items but 
including the different color setting.

BTW: Is there any chance to set fg/bg color for the toplevel menu label?
Best and THX to Vadim,
Andreas Oppermann
