  Hello, the first code is working very god, but I have another problem. This code is god for a menu like this:
  File-Save
        -Open
  .
  .
  .
  
  But if I like this menu:
  File-Operations-Save
                         -Open
  File-Print-With Filter
                -All
  File-Close
  .
  .
  .
  
  I dont know how  I can do this :(
  
  Thank you

  Just modify this as needed:
  
  

  Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load         Dim dynamicMenu As New MenuStrip         Dim menuItemParent As ToolStripMenuItem         menuItemParent = New ToolStripMenuItem("MenuParent")         dynamicMenu.Items.Add(menuItemParent)         menuItemParent.DropDownItems.Add("MyMenu2", Nothing, AddressOf HandleMenuClick)         menuItemParent.DropDownItems.Add("MyMenu3", Nothing, AddressOf HandleMenuClick)         menuItemParent.DropDownItems.Add("MyMenu4", Nothing, AddressOf HandleMenuClick)         menuItemParent.DropDownItems.Add("MyMenu5", Nothing, AddressOf HandleMenuClick)         Me.Controls.Add(dynamicMenu)     End Sub     Private Sub HandleMenuClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)         Dim item As ToolStripMenuItem = DirectCast(sender, ToolStripMenuItem)         MessageBox.Show(item.Text, "Menu Click", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information)     End Sub

  Pls, only one question:
  Can I change the "menuItemParent." for an other in executing time, like: "strParent.DropMenuItems.Add(......)", where strParent is a variable.
  
  Thnaks.

  Your variable should be a ToolStripMenuItem, not a string. You can always change what the menu is displaying by using:
  
  

  menuItemParent.Text = "new text here"

  
  
  If you need to keep multiple dynamic menus, you can use an array or use generics in 2005:
  
  

  Dim myMenus As New List(Of ToolStripMenuItem)     myMenus.Add(menuItemParent)     myMenus.Add(New ToolStripMenuItem("New Menu"))     myMenus.Item(0).Text = "new text here"     myMenus.Item(1).Text = myMenus.Item(1).Text + " Modified"

  
  
  You can then loop through the collection:
  
  

  For i As Integer = 0 To myMenus.Count - 1         dynamicMenu.Items.Add(myMenus.Item(i))     Next

  
  
  Good luck
