How to add button to menu's item ?

Hello everyone!

I would like to start by saying thanks to everyone who takes some time to view this thread and try to help.

I have a popup menu, with submenu. The submenu's item should have push button instead of text.

That is pretty much it.

Should I owner draw it?

If so, some code example/ pseudo-code / instructions / tutorials / links ... would be welcome.

UPDATE #2:

How can I create a simple push button in WM_DRAWITEM ?

I have tried with following code:

LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpDIS = (LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT)lParam;

HWND btnOk = CreateWindowEx(0,L"Button",L"test", WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | BS_PUSHBUTTON, lpDIS->rcItem.left + 10, lpDIS->rcItem.top + 10, 
lpDIS->rcItem.right - lpDIS->rcItem.left - 20,
lpDIS->rcItem.bottom - lpDIS->rcItem.top - 20,
hwnd, NULL, hInst, 0);

I don't know what to pass to CreateWindowEx() as parameter for parent window.

The button displays properly as a child window ( no border ), and its dimensions are good, but it is a child of the main window, not menu item.

How can I make it a part of the menu item ?

This is the only thing left.

Somebody please help me with some instructions or code examples or whatever...

Thank you.

Is it possible that nobody knows how to create menu item with a simple push button in it?
