adding to the menu[RESOLVED]

how would i add a button to the menu like theres file and some some stuff under file how would i type in text1.text hit a button and it adds it to the menu under file?

Do you want to add these menus to your program or to an external program?

If it's your application, you can have a control array of menus and make your life a lot easier. If it's not (or even if it is) you can use the AppendMenu API.

here is an example of using an array
create a project, add a textbox and command button
add a menu called mFile and set it's index property to 0

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private nMenus As Integer
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
nMenus = nMenus + 1
Load mFile(nMenus)
With mFile(nMenus)
    .Caption = Text1
    .Visible = True
End With
 
End Sub

OK, then just add a submenu to mFile and make it the array

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
nMenus = nMenus + 1
Load mSubFile(nMenus)
With mSubFile(nMenus)
    .Caption = Text1
    .Visible = True
End With
 
End Sub
