Question

I want to add submenu into the main menu in runtime. I have looked at other post
Adding to strip menu at run time but I don’t understand what I’m missing here because it only populates one item, but I have three xml files in the folder. Below is the code. testsuite paramenter contains xml files.

    public void LoadTestSuiteMenuStrip(string[] testsuite)
    {
        try
        {
            foreach (var temp in testsuite)
            {
                int max = temp.Length-1;
                while (temp[max] != '\\')
                    max--;

                max++;

                //remove the folder path and take only xml file name
                string name = temp.Substring(max, temp.Length - max);

                ToolStripMenuItem subItem = new ToolStripMenuItem(name);
                //subItem.DisplayStyle = ToolStripItemDisplayStyle.Text;
                //subItem .Text = name;
                //subItem .Name = name;
                //subItem.Tag = name;
                subItem.Click += new EventHandler(testSuiteToolstrip_Click);
                testsuiteToolStripMenuItem.DropDownItems.Add(subItem);
            }
        }
        catch (Exception error)
        {
        }
    }

thanks

Make sure that you access GUI from main thread. If you want to add items from other thread, instead of

LoadTestSuiteMenuStrip(args);

use

Invoke(new Action<string[]>(LoadTestSuiteMenuStrip), new object[] { args });
