Q: Autogenerating menus and executing forms.

[Martin Arvidsson]

Hi!

I have an SQL table containing a menu number, level, title and formname.
What i want to do is to generate the menu automaticly from the table, and
set
the onclick event to execut the form from the given name of the table...

Example of table

ID Level Title FormName
1 0 System -
2 1 Settings frmSettings
3 1 Statistics frmStatistics

when generating this menu i want a single onklick event and when that fires,
show
the frmSettings or the frmStatistics...

In a 4GL language i used there was an eval function to be used, but now i am
lost since i am kind of new to the c# language

Any help or ideas?

Regards

Martin

My 2 cents;

Create a win form and drop in a menu with no collection items in it.
During initialisation, read the sql table and add each item to the menu
you have added previously in the windows. For click events, I would
suggest write one static method which you tie for all the menu click
and in the method, you identify the sender item and do your work based
on the value.

Thanks.
