Create a menu using the Menu Editor then have it pop up like so:


PopUpMenu mnuYourMenu, vbPopUpMenuLeftAlign


"Two strings walk into a bar. The first string says to the bartender: 'Bartender, I'll have a beer. u.5n$x5t?*&4ru!2[sACC~ErJ'. The second string says: 'Pardon my friend, he isn't NULL terminated'."

If you want to add the option at run time, then, when you create the menu, give it an index (index 0 for example) and that will create a control array (of menu's of course). Then, at run time, you can create new menues (using the Load method). For example, assuming that mnuYourMenu was created at design time and has an index of 0, you could do the following:

[COLOR=green]' Note index 1[/color]
Load mnuYourMenu(1)
mnuYourMenu(1).Caption = "New Option"
Load mnuYourMenu(2)
mnuYourMenu(2).Caption = "New Option 2"

So, in this case, mnuYourMenu is an array of menu controls, and at run time you simply add elements to this array by using the Load method. Of course, the indexes you use for the new elements must not already exist in the array, otherwise you get a "Control already loaded" error. I ususally just use an integer variable and increment it by one everytime I need to add a new menu control to the array.

Hope this helps!
