---------------------------
1. Start 16-bit or 32-bit Visual Basic 4.0, or if it is already running, click
New Project on the File menu.
2. Use the Menu Editor to add the following menu items. Note that the Blue,

3. Copy the following code to the Code window of the Form1 form:
Option Explicit
Dim ncol As Integer
Private Sub mnucol_Click(Index As Integer)
ncol = Index
BackColor = QBColor(Index + 1)
End Sub
Private Sub mnuColor_Click()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To 2
If i = ncol Then
mnuCol(i).Checked = True
Else
mnuCol(i).Checked = False
End If
Next
End Sub
Private Sub mnuOptions_Click()
'Uncomment the following lines for workaround
'Dim i As Integer
'For i = 0 To 2
'mnucol(i).Checked = (i = ncol)
'Next
End Sub
4. On the Run menu, click Start or press the F5 key to start the program. From
the Options menu, click Color and note that a second level menu appears.
Choose a color to change the background color of the form. Click Color again
from the Options menu and choose another color. Click Color a third time and
note that a check mark appears next to the original color you selected. Move
the mouse over the previously selected color and note that a check mark
