I have a system tray icon for my application. Each time the user pastes some
text into the application, I add a submenu item in the system tray's context
menu. The first time I right-click the icon in the system tray, the submenu
item is there. After that, any subsequent right-clicks only show the same
menu that was displayed at the first right-click. In other words, it's as if
the menu is loaded into memory somewhere on the first right-click, and after
that, any changes made to the menu programatically , are not shown.
By stopping the code and checking the value of the submenu item's text after
I change it, I have found that the new values are accepted, but again, the
GUI just doesn't reflect the new values.
Here is the code where I add a submenu item. I start with all 5 submenu
items having .Text = "Empty". New items are added at the top of the list of
submenu items. If the number of items to be added is less than 5, the new
items are added, then the remaining items (to bring the total to 5) are added
with the value "Empty":
' Put the last 5 into the SysTray Icon's menu
For Index = 1 To 5
If Index <= gcolLastFiveAdd rs.Count Then
MenuItem = gcolLastFiveAdd rs(Index).Stree t & " " & _
gcolLastFiveAdd rs(Index).City & " " & _
gcolLastFiveAdd rs(Index).State & " " & _
gcolLastFiveAdd rs(Index).Zip
Else
MenuItem = "Empty"
End If
SysTrayMenu.Men uItems.Item(5). MenuItems.Item( Index - 1).Text = _
CStr(Index) & ". " & MenuItem
SysTrayMenu.Men uItems.Item(6). MenuItems.Item( Index - 1).Text = _
CStr(Index) & ". " & MenuItem

I did Me.Refresh() but that didn't work.
How do I repaint?
Can I refresh the Context Menu somehow?

Hi,
I'm looking of a way (preferred - a ready class or dll) to customize
the context menu.
many application has more controls inside the context menu (like
textbox, sliders, checkbox, panel etc').
is there a way making this without writing my own context menu
(meaning, popup form or something) ?
Please don't post commercial products to this topic
thanks.

I'm working on a plotting control. The plotting control will have a context
menu with basic commands for "scaling", "zooming", etc. Is there a way
that, from the parent form, I can add more commands to the control's context
menu?
I'm envisioning a case where the control has a set of context menu items,
and the parent form also has a set of context menu items.
Thanks.
