Create Dynamic Menu's at run time

[Paul282]

I'm in the process of writing a control that works like a button menu (like next to the forward / back buttons in IE5) and I want to be be able to create any menu at run time. (then use a popupmenu with a button)

So far the closest I can get to dynamic menu's are first create the top level in the MenuCreator tool then a control array for the items. but if it's an activex control I don't want people to have to manually add the top level, it has to work at run time...

Any Ideas ???

It doesn't have to be a popup menu, it just has to look like one !!

Hard, Hard, Hard, Hard.

I recomend reading an old book on windows programming (the Menus section anyway), you'll need to be able to read C though. It's a hardcore topic though, I'm working on something similar myself and I'm having loads of trouble.

That's not what I wanted to hear, I can read C ok but I was even hoping for a minimum of API.

I'd use a list box if I know how to set the 3D border to stand out rather than appear sunken (you can choose in Borland C++)

But I would like to do it in VB, because I like VB
