In VB.net menus, there is a name property, but it isnt
available in runtime..strang e!!!
does someone has a idea how i can do something similar?
reason i want it is...in my app the UI text comes from a
language table in database. For form and control text i
retrieve it using the formname+contro l name. But doing the
same thing for menu is not possible. One idea is to store
the name of the menu item e.g. mnuFile in the text itself
and at runtime change the text by using the original text
of the menuitem. Drawback is, at runtime i cannot get the
UI text twice as now the control has lost its name.

Yust a suggestion.
..net offers a different sollution for multilangual forms, localizable forms.
using the localizable and language properties. you might want to explore
that option 2.

Hi Sachin,
The code below might help you play with your menus - when you've explored
creating your own MenuItem class and looked into Localisation. ;-)
Regards,
Fergus
<code>
Public Module MenuStuff
Public Function GetMenuItems (F As Form) As ArrayList
Dim alMenuItems As New ArrayList
Dim oMainMenu As MainMenu = F.Menu
If oMainMenu Is Nothing OrElse _
oMainMenu.MenuI tems Is Nothing Then _
Return alMenuItems
GetMenuItems (alMenuItems, oMainMenu.MenuI tems)
Return alMenuItems
End Function
Private Sub GetMenuItems (alMenuItems As ArrayList, _
aoMenuItems As Menu.MenuItemCo llection)
alMenuItems.Add Range (aoMenuItems)
Dim oMenuItem As MenuItem
For Each oMenuItem In aoMenuItems
GetMenuItems (alMenuItems, oMenuItem.MenuI tems)
Next
End Sub
End Module
Sub DisplayMenus (F As Form)
Dim alMenuItems As ArrayList = GetMenuItems(F)
Dim oMenuItem As MenuItem
For Each oMenuItem In alMenuItems
Console.WriteLi ne (oMenuItem.Text )
Next
End Sub

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
