[2005] [RESOLVED] Adding Menu Items to a Menu Control at Run Time

neef · Jun 3rd, 2007, 12:54 PM

I keep finding help for pre .NET 2005 menu questions so I need a straight answer:

What's the code for adding a new menu item during runtime to a menu control created at design time? I also need an event handler as well.

Thanks.

Well your topic specified 2005 so I will use that.

Create a new ToolStripMenuItem like so:

Code:

Dim myNewToolStripMenuItem as New ToolStripMenuItem

Now you can add it to the existing menu like so:

Code:

myExistingMenu.Items.Add(myNewToolStripMenuItem)

By the way, those examples were found by viewing the designer.vb file in my project.

Thank you.

It hit me after I posted that I could check my designer and whatever code I needed would be there.
