Add Menu Items Dynamically

Is it possible to dynamically add items to a menu and use one event handler
for click events?

If so, how do you detect which of the new items was clicked?

Thanks,
Tom

A personal favourite is to use the "Tag" property of a menu to store enough
information (such as a string) which is used to interpret the the menu
click. I usually use the Magic library for menus (www.dotnetmagic.com), but
I'm assuming that the standard .NET menus have this also (it's common to all
[Control]s as far as I know.

Hi folks, here's a challenge: I have a dynamically created cascading menu in Tkinter that can be quite large because it is created from a file. I tried using lazy creation so only the menu item that is actually selected by the user gets children menu items created under it, but that fails. I did this by use of postcommand callback, in which I dynamically add the children menu items to the parent. However, a print statement in the...

Hello - I have a book that illustrates pulling menu items from a Sql Server table into an ascx via a stored procedure. Is this something that is done in the real world? I do like the effect when viewing it in the source code, however, because it doesn't show the complete path to the file. (I'm talking about Internet Explorer click View, click source code.)

Hello, I need to dynamically add menu items to an existing menu on an MDI form.

Here's the 30,000-ft. view: I wrapped an asp:Menu control in an ascx control. When I try to dynamically populate the menu in the ascx control, the items appear, but clicking on them fails to trigger the MenuItemClick event handler. However, if I statically declare the menu items in the .ascx page, everything is fine. Any ideas? Here's the details: My ascx page: <%@ Control Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false"...

Hi, I develop a sharepoint webpart with ASP.Net 2.0 and therefore override CreateChildControls(). In CreateChildControls() I create dynamically a menu with items (and sub items) from a database. Let's say after the first loading I have 5 menu items. My problem: Every time the page is loaded (that means also if a menu item is clicked) the menu items are doubled (I have 10, 15, 20, ... menu items).
