Hi forum,
I hardly try creating a menu during runtime.
Via reflection I get some info out of one assembly and based on this info I
would like to build a menu.
In my helper class where I reflect the specific assembly I create a new
subitem with some buttonitems, attached to a dummy barmanager.
This subitem is delivered to my main form where the 'real' main menu is.
I attach my submenuitem to the real barmanager and my created structure is
available. But there are no events executed.
My Snippets are quite big, sorry for that. It would be nice if someone could
give a kick into the right direction.
Best regards,
Torben Schulz

MainForm.cs
DevExpress.XtraBars.BarSubItem myItem = Def.TestEnvironment.Instance.Menu;
//getting my submenuitem
this.barManager1.Items.Add (myItem);
this.bar21.LinksPersistInfo.AddRange(new
DevExpress.XtraBars.LinkPersistInfo[] {new
DevExpress.XtraBars.LinkPersistInfo(myItem)});
