Problem with dynamically populated Contextmenu

Joe
I have a MenuItem which is was added to the context menu at design time. The
context menu is for a button on a toolbar. At runtime I add and remove
sub-menuitems to and from this menu item. The problem is the dynamically
added items don't always appear.

If I add say 3 menu items and click to see the menu, the sub menu appears
and shows 3 items. This is fine. Now, if I add another item and click to see
the submenu, nothing displays. The arrow is there and there is a count of 4.
I also checked to make sure they're all set to visible and they are.

Any suggestions?

// Add menu item
miShow.MenuItem s.Add(itemText, new EventHandler(mi _Click) );

// Remove menu item
miShow.MenuItem s.Remove(mi);

//Also tried clearing and re-adding all of them but still no luck
miShow.MenuItem s.Clear();
foreach (string s in mystringarray)
miShow.MenuItem s.Add(s, new EventHandler(mi _Click) );

Im just guessing here but are you retaining a reference to your added
menu item (mi)?

Hi there, I have an iframe which is editable (designMode = "on") and want to resize it dynamically as the content grows (e.g. more lines of text is in there) and there the struggle starts. I fill the iframe with content (<body> tag and so on and also insert a <div> tag, inbetween is the content that should be modified). Now if the event "overflow" or "underflow" is triggered the iframe

I am trying to create a dynamic flyout submenu off of a contextmenu. I can right click and get the base contextmenu ok. On the Popup event I add MenuItem's to the collection of one of the items so it has a flyout submenu when selected. If I try and add more than 1 item to the submenu it only shows up the first time. This same code works fine if it is part of a MainMenu but not with a ContextMenu. Has anyone seen this before? Have you...

Sorry Ive added this twice (sortof) but if I'd added an addendum to the first one then this would probably have been ignored. This problem affects a ContextMenu attached to a NotifyIcon object. I don't get the problem with context menus attached to list boxes etc. Ive also seen a noticeable slow down in speed when the menu attempts to hide after the problem occurs. When I build a dynamic submenu on the first time round, it shows a nice...

Hello, I'm toying with the idea of loading a MenuStrip (VB.Net 2005) dynamically based on who is logged into my system. Every user has different security settings and I want to customize the main menu instead of showing all possible options and only enabling/disabling certain ones. I have a table that stores the menu item name, parent item (if applicable), display order, etc. so that I can dynamically load my
