Hi All,

I have one contextmenustrip control associated with treenode.I have created one menu item in contextmenustrip manually in the form itself(for example named as "Assign").Now i want to add sub menu items whenever user clicks this Assign item,it will create a list of users name as a sub menu item with checked or unchecked option.

For example, once user clicked Assign then i want to show the user name dynamically...

ToolStripMenuItem ToolStrip;

private void CreateSubMenu(string text)
        {
            ToolStrip = new ToolStripMenuItem(text);
            ToolStrip.Text = text;
            ToolStrip.Click += new EventHandler(Item_Click);
            ToolStrip.CheckOnClick = true;
            showNoteToolStripMenuItem.DropDown.Items.Add(newnote);
 //showNoteToolStripMenuItem is Main ToolStrip
}

This is a way to add SubMenuItems to MenuStrip like a similiar way you can add sub menus to contextmenu because ContextMenuStrip is formed from ToolStripMenus.
