**GetFlatMode( ), BYTE**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **GetFlatMode** method is used to detect if a menu is currently using a flat mode appearance. If the method returns TRUE (1), flat mode is active.

**Implementation:**

The method is not called anywhere within the **MenuStyleManager** Class. It is an optional method that can be used by the developer to detect and possibly change the flat mode menu appearance at runtime.

**Return Data Type:**     BYTE
