adding to a merged menu

[Chris Soulsby]

Hi,

I''m having a problem with adding a new menu item (BarItem) to a menu at runtime. It only seems NOT to work on the menus that have been merged with a child menu. The code works fine with menus that have not been merged. Is there a way of refreshing the menu?

Thanks for any help.

Just a quick explanation of the code I posted. The application has two menus “filemenu” and “toolmenu”. The filemenu has a merged child bar item added to it. When you press the “Add Menus” button the code will add a BarItem to each menu. On the toolmenu menu the item appears, however, in the filemenu the item is not there.

Hi Chris, Accessing the designer generated ParentBarItem component in code and modifying it will not have any effect. Instead you should get hold of a ParentBarItem’s "Merged Equivalent" (combined ParentBarItem consisting of the parent and child form''s ParentBarItems) and add the new BarItem to it as shown below : ParentBarItem mergedParent = this.mainFrameBarManager1.GetMergedEquivalent(this.parentBarItem1, this.parentBarItem1); mergedParent.Items.Add(oBarItem); I have also modified your sample accordingly and have attached it here. Please refer to the following KB article for more information on this : How do I access/modify the main-menu, other bars and ParentBarItems programatically?
