Thanks Steven for the reply. I know I was a bit cloudy in my
description of the problem. I already have the menu and submenu
constructed. In fact the first two menuitems in the submenu are have
also been created-all in the IDE. I'm only adding (appending) items
to this submenu during runtime and I need to know how to handle the
events generated by the newly added items when a user attempts to
select one.

I'm just an ignew (ignorant newbie or modern igloo) and I'm having
difficulty attempting to understand what you are trying to do but
it sounds like you are wanting to write code to put in a submenu
item's event editor to respond to a mouse click on the submenu
item. If that is the case, show the code editor for the window
that has the menu. On the bar immediately above the code editor
there are several buttons, one of which says "Add Menu Handler."
Click on it and you will be presented with a combobox that lists
the submenu items that you have created. If you haven't created
any menuitems, the combobox will be empty. Select the submenu item
that you want to write code for and a code editor for that menuitem
is automatically created. Now write code for that submenu item's
event in its code editor.
If, however, you already know how to do that but instead you are
attempting to write code that allows you to create submenus at
runtime, I don't know how to do that but I would think it would
involve creating a menuitem class and using the menuitem's
properties and methods to create submenus "on the fly." I'm not
certain but I think it goes something like this:
dim mySubMenuItem as MenuItem
mySubMenuItem = new MenuItem
Check the Language Reference as to how it is done correctly or hope
that someone with more experience might help.
Sincerely,
Steven Hedgepeth
P.S. Just be thankful you have three brain cells.
I've exhausted my three brain cells trying to figure this out, so
can someone point me in the right direction???I have a menuitem
that has a submenu. This submenu has two menuitems in it, one is
just a separator (so far all menus built in IDE). At runtime I
scan a folder for items and append the file names starting at the
third menuitem in the submenu. So far so good...How the heck do I
check and uncheck these items and how do I get an menu event when
they are selected? What should I be doing when I create the
menuitem to be able to have access to each item? I must be missing
something obvious!
