[vb] 2nd level dropdownitem (toolstrip)

[Jesse Vlasveld]

Hey you all,

I'm working on a school project in visual basic, and I'm having a small issue.

I'm creating a class which features a toolstrip, which will be included in every form. But I'm having issues adding second level dropdownitems.
It's no problem adding a standard one level dropdownitems

example:

• File
  • Open...
  • Save
  • Save as...

Which are added like this:

bestandHoofdMenuItem.DropDownItems.Add(afdrukkenMenuItem)

The issue I'm having (let's call it lack of knowledge), is how to add a second level to the dropdown menu.

like this:

• View
  • View >
    • Toolbars

I already searched on the MSDN pages of microsft, but they all do it in design mode, which is obviously not working for me as I'm putting it in a class.

Help is appreciated.

It's a windows application.
I'm still looking into it, I'll let you know when I know more.

Your Answer:

public void setMenu()
        {
            ToolStripDropDownButton drop2 = new ToolStripDropDownButton("Middle");
            ToolStripDropDownButton drop1 = new ToolStripDropDownButton("Top");
            toolStrip1.Items.Add(drop1);
            drop1.DropDownItems.Add(drop2);
            drop2.DropDownItems.Add("Bottom");
        }

Just call the setMenu() OnLoad etc. This is in c# but i can't imagine it being difficult to convert?

You're welcome

I've figured it out, and completed the toolstrip, thanks for the help (didn't use it, as I was just working on my own solution).
