    Cool Third part menu control to replace menu system

    I need a third part menu control to replace the menu system.
    This because my current form has riched the 256 control limit. I don´t want to load menu item dinamically.
    If somebody knows about a control that can to replace the standard menu system but has compatibility with current windows SO like windows 7, windows 8 or Windows 10.
    Any suggest will be appreciated !
    Thanks

    The question is why you don't want to "load menu items dinamically"? (I think you are talking about an menu control array)

    Any menu replacement will be far more work than just simply use an array.

    Another comment is that if you have so many menu items and controls... it points to a flaw in your GUI design. Users will be lost with so many items.

    I have only the items menu needed. Other choice would be split the menu items between two forms. But that won't be elegant

    I don't know what your program is about, but perhaps having one or two listboxes (or comboboxes) where the user need to select what he wants to work with.

    You could think of a design where there are only a few options visible at the same time, in the menus, in the form (or forms) there should be only a few options to select. Once something is selected you can show another list to narrow down the selection.
