Introduction

In Visual Basic, adding menus at runtime is handled in the exact same way as adding any control at runtime. First you have to create a control array at design time, then at runtime you just load the new controls into the array. In this tutorial, I will show you all the steps to handle this. I will first show you how to set up a menu control array at design time. Next I will show you how to add more menus to your array at runtime. Finally, I will show you how to handle the click events of all the menus you add at runtime.

I encourage you to open up a project in Visual Basic, and follow along with me as I introduce you to this topic. Also, if my explanations just aren't making sense, please download the code from the link at the right. This should help you understand everything I am trying to say.
