' Set OwnerDraw property to true. This requires handling the
' DrawItem event for this menu item.

'Add the event-handler delegate to handle the DrawItem event.
AddHandler MenuItem2.DrawItem, New DrawItemEventHandler(AddressOf DrawCustomMenuItem)
' Add the items to the menu.

' Cast the sender to MenuItem so you can access text property.
Dim customItem As MenuItem = CType(sender, MenuItem)
' Create a Brush and a Font to draw the MenuItem.

customItem.Text, aFont)
' Draw the item and then draw the ellipse.
