Thanks to Bi Hai.

Create a new WindowProc and watch for the menu messages. When you see WM_DRAWITEM, draw the menu item using BitBlt to draw the bitmaps. When you see WM_MEASUREITEM, return the size needed by the item. When you see WM_COMMAND, execute whatever code you need for the selected menu item. See the code for all of the details.
