Can't you just use the normal Menu functions? You will have to derive your own 
entry's from the cMenuItem object. By overloading the Display() method and 
using Interface->SetBitmap() you can basicly display whatever you want.

You don't. That functionality is not present at the moment, but Klaus talked 
about buidling some kind macro function for keys. I guess that will include 
what you need. So, for the moment you have to go through the main menu or 
patch vdr.
