[Dev-C++] Help with menu icons in Win32

[Ed C. <em...@to...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to add icons to popup menu items in a Win32 app I'm working on.
The menus themselves are not a problem, but I have come up dry after trying
- repeatedly - to Google this question.

What I need is a method for adding an icon defined in a resource file next
to the text in a popup menu, but entirely in C. I was able to find a few
solutions in other languages and even a couple in C++; however, I need to
keep this app purely in C, and am not sure how to do this.

(Note: I am not looking to set monochrome check images, using
SetMenuItemBitmaps(), but put an application-specified icon/bitmap with
color in the same location)

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

P.S. I'm comfortable with the Win32 API (and would MUCH prefer to use it
over the MFC), but simply can't figure out where to start.
