Adding to an existing MenuItem's MenuItem Collection Dynamically

I have a static ContextMenu already built and it works.

I am trying to add a submenu (right arrow with a new menuitem list) dynamically when the popup is created.

The new set of menuitems requires some DB queries to be done and then the menuitems to be added to the Menuitems collection of an existing menuitem

This operation is sensitive to the record that the user has right clicked, so this dynamic sublist of actions can be different each time the user right clicks.
However while I get the context menu every time the user right clicks, the dynamically generated submenu only displays once per execution of the application.

Someone must have done this before.....Plea se Help.....Frustr ated..

I have tried to clear the menuitems for the dynamic menuitems collection on the dispose of the popup event, but dispose is not called and there is not an event that tells me when this menu is no longer displayed.

#!/usr/bin/env python ''' I want to dynamically add or replace bound methods in a class. I want the modifications to be immediately effective across all instances, whether created before or after the class was modified. I need this to work for both old ('classic') and new style classes, at both 2.3 and 2.4. I of course want to avoid side effects, and to make the solution as light-weight as possible.

Hello, I need to dynamically add menu items to an existing menu on an MDI form. In the form load, when I create the menu items then add it to the menu control using the Add method, the entire menu dissappears. Any one know why?

I try to find a way to get all the existing objects related to a WinForm... I tried "this.Controls" and "this.components.Components" but I'm not reaching all the existing objects... I need to loop across all objects to verify the content of their "tag" property and modify their "text" or "caption" property depending of the object type and "tag" property value. Thanks.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
