The scope program uses owner drawn menus with bitmaps. To save time a freeware class (BCMenu.h)
written by Brent Corkum was used (download from [W4]). This class can mimic the new MS Office XP style
of menus (Used in scope program), or the old MS Office 97 style of menus. Figures 7.11a shows a screen
dump of Microsoft Word XP with its file menu open, while figure 7.11b shows the file menu of the Scope
program. Notice that the menu style of the Scope program is similar, but not perfect, to that of Word XP. It is
clear that Brent Corkum has done a good job developing this class and it was decided after testing on
Windows 98/2000/XP for the scope program to make use of his class as it made the program more
professional looking and more user-friendly (Icons in the menus).
