Component Extension Blues...

[bumholo]

Afternoon all,

I think this may well be the last call of a desperate man, I am absolutley pulling my hair out now and swearing at my pc!!!

I have written some code which adds icons to MenuItems of a MainMenu component but at the moment I have just added the code to a form which has the standard old Microsoft MainMenu and ImageList components on it.

What I need to do is create a new menu component from the existing microsoft MainMenu component so that it will use my code and add icons to the menuitems which I add.

I know that I will have to create a property to point to an imagelist on the MainMenu bit and a property to hold an integer, in the MenuItem bit, which points to an image in the imagelist for each menuitem I add.

The problem is that I don't know how the MainMenu and MenuItem bits work together so that when I add a new menuitem my code is used and the properties I add are visible.

Any help would be very much appreciated as I fear I'm about to go postal...

P.S. I've attached what I have so far in a .zip file it might make more sense that way.

thanks
