Menu Item Styles

These menu item styles are available:

MIS_SUBMENU

The item is a submenu. When the user selects this type of item, a submenu is displayed from which the user must make further selection. Items that are not submenu items are command items.
MIS_SEPARATOR
The display object is a horizontal dividing line. This type of item can only be used in pull-down menus. This type of item cannot be enabled, checked, disabled, highlighted, or selected by the user. The functional object is NULL when this style is specified.
MIS_BITMAP
The display object is a bit map.
MIS_TEXT
The display object is a text string.
MIS_BUTTONSEPARATOR
The item is a menu button. Any menu can have zero, one, or two items of this type. These are the last items in a menu and are automatically displayed after a separator bar. The user cannot move the cursor to these items, but can select them with the pointing device or with the appropriate key.
MIS_BREAK
The item begins a new row or column.
MIS_BREAKSEPARATOR
Same as MIS_BREAK, except that it draws a separator between rows or columns of a pull-down menu. This style can only be used within a submenu.
MIS_SYSCOMMAND
If this item is selected, the menu notifies the owner by posting a WM_SYSCOMMAND message rather than a WM_COMMAND message.
MIS_OWNERDRAW
Items with this style are drawn by the owner. WM_DRAWITEM and WM_MEASUREITEM notification messages are sent to the owner to draw the item or determine its size.
MIS_HELP
If the item is selected, the menu notifies the owner by posting a WM_HELP message rather than a WM_COMMAND message.
MIS_STATIC
This type of item exists for information purposes only. It cannot be selected with the pointing device or keyboard.
