Hi,
I have a menustrip that has 3 main menus and various number of menus below
them...
I am trying to figure out how i can loop through the main menus and then
loop through each one of the main menus to get their items and .text field.
Any help....

Click to expand...

For example you have a MenuStrip1 and loop through items to get all
the item names as follows:

For x As Integer = 0 To MenuStrip1.Items.Count - 1
MsgBox(MenuStrip1.Items(x).Text)
Next

' ..Do the same iteration for other MenuStrip2 and 3...

Hope this helps,

This works for me.

Dim mStrip As MenuStrip = ctl (ctl comes from the whole control collection
over
which I am iterating)
Dim mItem As ToolStripMenuItem
Dim mSubItem As ToolStripMenuItem
Dim i As Int16, j As Int16, k As Int16

For i = 0 To mStrip.Items.Count - 1
mItem = CType(mStrip.Items.Item(i), ToolStripMenuItem)
MsgBox(mItem.Text)
' now look for sub menu items
For j = 0 To mItem.DropDownItems.Count - 1
MsgBox(mItem.DropDownItems(j).Text)
' now look for sub sub menu items (thats as far as we go)
mSubItem = mItem.DropDownItems(j)
For k = 0 To mSubItem.DropDownItems.Count - 1
MsgBox(mSubItem.DropDownItems(k).Text)
Next k
Next j
Next i
