How to dynamically add sub-menus to the main XPMenu?

[do i have to]

Hi,

We have Essential Suite 3.0.1. I''ve been unsuccessfully trying to dynamically add a top level menu item (with sub-items) to the main XPMenu and would appreciate some help. Here''s what I''ve tried so far:

ParentBarItem customMenu = new ParentBarItem();
customMenu.CategoryIndex = 2;
customMenu.Text = "Test";
customMenu.ID = "Test";
customMenu.Visible = true;
// frameBarMgr - XPMenus.MainFrameBarManager
frameBarMgr.Items.Add(customMenu);
// menuBar - XPMenus.Bar
menuBar.Items.Add(customMenu);

My problem is that new top level item doesn''t show up at all. Any ideas why? Thanks in advance.

What if the top level item is already there? For instance, Edit | View. I''ve got 3 items under Edit | View already, but I want to add a separator below those, then programatically add any number of pics after that separator. It may be 1, it may be 20. How would I do that, including the event handler for them?

Hi Michael, Yes,you can create a separator through programmatically using the following code

 this.parentBarItem2.BeginGroupAt(barItem7); 

I have attached a sample that demonstrate this completely.In this sample I have created 3 baritems already under Edit menu ,then programmatically added 3 baritems after a separator.Please refer to it and let me know if this meets your requirements.We appreciate your interest in Syncfusion products.
