Hello.

I am trying to edit the name of a menu item when I click it. At the moment I am using the code above. With this code the text changes (When i go through it line by line), but it doesn't actually display the changes.

Anyone know the reason why?

Many thanks

Pete

Shouldn't all the references to the menu itme be named "mnuHidePop" instead of "mnuHide"? Like this:

Private Sub mnuHidePop_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnuHidePop.Click
        If [COLOR=red]mnuHidePop[/COLOR] .Text = "&Hide" Then
            Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
            [COLOR=red]mnuHidePop[/COLOR] .Text = "&Show"
        ElseIf [COLOR=red]mnuHidePop[/COLOR] .Text = "&Show" Then
            Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
            [COLOR=red]mnuHidePop[/COLOR] .Text = "&Hide"
        End If
    End Sub

Ha, whoops. Ta. You should see how many times I get stuff like that mixed up.

Thanks for your help.

No problem. My theory is that if you ask enough stupid questions, you're bound to know a few answers. And I definately have asked enough stupid questions for one lifetime. I guess I was just overdue for a flash of insight.
