Question

Code:

private void loadViewTemplates(string path)
{
    foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.txt"))
    {
        ToolStripItem subItem = new ToolStripMenuItem();
        viewTemplatesToolStripMenuItem.DropDownItems.Add(subItem);
    }
}

I have three files in the source directory, they seem to appear as the menu subitem, but the file names did not appear.

Is there a way I can make the file names’ appear instead of invisible? Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Answer 1

Missing the

subItem.Text = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file);

From MSDN

ToolStripItem.Text - Gets or sets the text that is to be displayed on the item.

So the code will be

private void loadViewTemplates(string path)  
{  
    foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.txt"))  
    {  
        ToolStripItem subItem = new ToolStripMenuItem();  
        subItem.Text = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(file);
        viewTemplatesToolStripMenuItem.DropDownItems.Add(subItem);  
    }  
}
