Highlighting the Menu Bar
You can highlight (invert) a menu title or the entire menu bar using the FlashMenuBar procedure. (The HiliteMenu procedure highlights only menu titles.) In most cases
your application should not highlight the menu bar; use HiliteMenu to highlight a menu title.
The user sets the number of times an enabled menu item flashes using the General Controls panel. The SetMenuFlash procedure can be used to control the number of times that menu items blink when the user chooses an enabled menu item; usually you should not change the setting chosen by the user.
