Context menu item Dynamic naming.

[smilbuta]

Greetings.
I wish to name the items in a contex menu strip dynamicaly.
Im unsure how to explain the problem but ill show my code and hopefully those of you with deep VB know wots will see my problem.


THIS IS MY CURRENT CODE: Menu item 1 and 2 are reading the name from an array of names and those names are being assigned to each Menu item in turn.

Private Sub trayMenuItems()
        Dim len As Integer
        Dim i As Integer
        Dim s As String
        len = (AStatus.Count) - 1
        For i = 0 To len
            s = AStatus(i)
        Next
        MenuItem1.Text = AStatus(0)
        MenuItem2.Text = AStatus(1)
    End Sub

THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO:

Private Sub trayMenuItems()
        Dim len As Integer
        Dim i As Integer
        Dim s As String
        len = (AStatus.Count) - 1
        For i = 0 To len
            s = AStatus(i)
            [B]MenuItem &  i +1 & .Text = AStatus(i)[/B]
        Next
    End Sub

The bold is what im attempting to do. THe code there is wrong and does not work. The problem is im not sure i can do waht i want to do because im actualy trying to place a variable in an objects name...sorry i cant be more descriptive.. (read VB novice)??

You can do something like this:

Dim AStatus() As String = New String() {"abc", "def", "ghi"}
        Dim mnuItm As ToolStripItemCollection = ContextMenuStrip1.Items()
        For i As Integer = 0 To mnuItm.Count - 1
            mnuItm(i).Text = AStatus(i) 'Just make sure that you don't get out of bound on AStatus array
        Next
