unloading popup menuitem error

when ever i try to unload a menu item from the popup menu item under combbox click event like this

vb Code:

For i = mnuTCategory.Count - 1 To 1 Step -1
       Unload mnuTCategory(i)
Next

I get this error "Unable to unload within this context". Can someone show me how to do this

Never worked this before...but will research...Can you remove ONE item, like: unload mnuTCategory(2) ? In meantime, will check this out.

Well, after just an initial research and test, if mnuTCategory is the name of your invisible top menuitem (which you display using the popupmenu function), then it has no .count property. So that approach would be incorrect from the start. Still researching (are you?)

Not sure if this will work for you, however, it is a solution of sorts.
First, I have a listbox and a commandbutton on my form...
I then have a menu item called: MnuListPopup
Under that, I have two additional sub-menus: mnuHide and mnuShow
(created that using the menuEditor, and of course set MnListPopup to NOT visible---leaving the two sub menus as VISIBLE)

Then I put in this code on the listbox:

Code:

---

Private Sub List1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, _
X As Single, Y As Single)
If Button And vbRightButton Then
    PopupMenu MnuListPopup
End If
End Sub

---

Then, in my example, I put the cmd button's click event as:

Code:

---

mnuHide.Visible = False

---

Before clicking the button, I see both Hide and Show options when I right click on my list box
After clicking the buttion, of course I only see the Show option (as mnuHide is now invisible).

Can you use this approach somehow?

{delete}

thanks for your response, the top menu created in design mode is mnuTCategories,
In the submenu mnuTCategory, i added one item mnuTCategory(0) at design time and the rest loaded at runtime .
so in total mnuTCategory contacts 3 menus. but i cannot unload any of them at runtime

what am doing is removing all and reloading another set of items, but it wont allow me to do that
