Setting windows popup menu (frame) colors?

mardul asked:

Hello,

how can i set the colors of a popup menu on windows. I know how to set the background color via MENUINFO hbrBack and how to ownerdraw the items, but i can't find out how to set the frame color. The popup menu frame is light which looks awful in my app that has very dark colors. I've searched MSDN and googled around for this but can't find the answer. I would be happy if i could just either set the frame color, hide the frame entirely or even draw the menu background myself. I need this to work on XP and later. I will appreciate any help, even if the solution turns out impractical or impossible.
