Module IconsMenuMain

Dim m_Font As New Font("Arial", 8)

ByVal Mi As MenuItem)
Dim sf As StringFormat = New StringFormat()
sf.HotkeyPrefix = HotkeyPrefix.Show
sf.SetTabStops(60, New Single() {0})
EvMeasureItem.ItemHeight = 22
EvMeasureItem.ItemWidth = CInt(EvMeasureItem.Graphics.MeasureString(GetRealText(Mi), _
m_Font, 10000, sf).Width) + 10
sf.Dispose()
sf = Nothing
End Sub

Sub DrawItems(ByVal EvDrawItems As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs, _
ByVal Mi As MenuItem, ByVal m_Icon As Icon)
Dim br As Brush
Dim fDisposeBrush As Boolean
If Not m_Icon Is Nothing Then

EvDrawItems.Graphics.DrawIcon(m_Icon, EvDrawItems.Bounds.Left + 2, _

End If
End If
End If
Dim rcBk As Rectangle = EvDrawItems.Bounds
rcBk.X += 24

If CBool(EvDrawItems.State And DrawItemState.Selected) Then
br = New LinearGradientBrush(rcBk, Color.MidnightBlue, Color.LightBlue, 0)
fDisposeBrush = True
Else
br = SystemBrushes.Control
End If

EvDrawItems.Graphics.FillRectangle(br, rcBk)
If fDisposeBrush Then br.Dispose()
br = Nothing

Dim sf As StringFormat = New StringFormat()

sf.SetTabStops(60, New Single() {0})

End Sub

Function GetRealText(ByVal Mi As MenuItem) As String
Dim s As String = Mi.Text

Dim k As Keys = CType(Mi.Shortcut, Keys)
s = s & Convert.ToChar(9) & _
TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(GetType(Keys)).ConvertToString(k)
End If
Return s
End Function

End Module


'**************
'In the items of menu which you want add icon modify the property OwnerDraw to TRUE
'For use this code only add the next references in the form...

Private Sub MenuItem3_DrawItem(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs) _
Handles MenuItem3.DrawItem

Dim Ic As New Icon("C:Documents and SettingsYoEscritorioiconmenuSave.ico")
DrawItems(e, MenuItem3, Nothing)
End Sub

Private Sub MenuItem3_MeasureItem(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MeasureItemEventArgs) _
Handles MenuItem3.MeasureItem

MeasureItems(e, MenuItem3)
End Sub



pero cuando lo corro no me funciona nada o sea no aparece el icono que deberia aparecer a ver si alguien lo prueba y me pasa la voz
