The example to add menus in Visual Basic by code in the documentation needs a little massaging to get it working. My code below works for me in VS 2005.
It requires a MainMenu which is no longer used much in Visual Studio 2005 (replaced by MenuStrip but still available for backwards compatability).
If anyone can get it to work with a MenuStrip that would be great as it is a much better looking control which you can add images to :)
Note modification to Enum and
Code
Dim textArrayArray1 As String()() = New String()(10 - 1) {}should be
Code
Dim textArrayArray1 As String()() = New String(10 - 1)() {}Also
Code
Public Function CurrEdit() As WPDLLIntReturn Me.wpdllInt1End Function
should be
Code
Public Function CurrEdit() As WPDLLInt Implements WPDynamic.IGetCurrEditor.CurrEdit Return Me.WpdllInt1 End FunctionI am still amazed at what TextDynamic can do and I have only touched the surface.
