I asked this on the list a few days ago, but as I got no answer, it
may be because I asked within a thread that began differently. Given a ContextualMenu object (which at this point I don't have a choice in using ContextualMenu rather than ConstructContextualMenu), is there any way to access the individual MenuItem objects created with AddRiow? More specifically, I want to add an item to the ContextualMenu object and then set the Checked property of one of them.

Hi Chuck!
This seems to be not possible. Popup- and Contextual menus are very limited. But it is quite easy to implement a standard menu as popup or contextual. I declared a second menubar in my project where I gather all contextual menus (this is very handy, because you can use the IDE to design them). In my code I just reference them as MenuItem and open them with Open () on right-clicks or whereever I need them. Before opening I give a reference to an event handler to modify the menu items at will...

Marcel,
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, the ContextualMenu object I'm working with was designed by someone else, and it would probably take some not-minor reworking to change the ContextualMenu already in use to a normal menu, but I'll keep it in mind for the future. Since it's open source, I'll come back to it later. Thanks, Chuck On May 12, 2006, at 10:23 PM, Marcel wrote: > Hi Chuck! > > This seems to be not possible.
