**SetFlatMode( **//mode //**)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| //mode// | A BYTE value that sets the menu flat mode. A value of TRUE (1) turns flat mode on, and a value of FALSE (0) turns it off. |

The **SetFlatMode** method controls the flat mode appearance of a target menu. When flat mode is off (FALSE), the selection bar appears "raised" in the menu structure. Otherwise the appearance of the selection bar is "flat".

**Implementation:**

The method is usually called right after the **Init** method, and prior to setting menu colors.

**Example:**

| **  MenuStyleMgr.Init(?MenuBar)** |
| ** ****MenuStyleMgr.SetFlatMode(False)** |
| **  MenuStyleMgr.SetColor(MenuBrushes:ImageBkgnd,12632256,12632256)** |
| **  MenuStyleMgr.SetColor(MenuBrushes:SelectedBkgnd,12632256,12632256,False)** |
| **  MenuStyleMgr.SetColor(MenuBrushes:SelectedBarBkgnd,12632256,12632256,True)** |
| **  MenuStyleMgr.SetColor(MenuBrushes:HotBkgnd,12632256,12632256,True)** |
| **  MenuStyleMgr.SetColor(MenuBrushes:FrameBrush,8421504, 8421504,True)** |
| **  AppFrame{PROP:Text} = 'Visual Styles Demo - Window2K Menu Style Active'** |
| **  DISPLAY()** |
