If you use text drawing, your first click will be slow. That's the penalty of loading each font.
That's why -- at least internally -- the menu code caches the image of each item, so that the second and subsequent displays of the menu will be quick. You really have two solutions -- pre-image each menu item (and it can be done and maintain the transparency -- draw the text to an image and a mask, then combine the two), or reduce the number of items in the popup menu. Also, just because you're using an image for the menu item doesn't mean that you can't set the title of the item. On Aug 28, 2011, at 11:25 PM, Rimas M. wrote: > Well.. that worked. Generally.
