How to delete menu item using parent

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have an app that dynamically adds menu items based on the contents of a directory. Sub-Directories are added to the menu as sub-menu popups and files are added as menu items. My problem is that when the user elects to re-load the menu I have to remove all the dynamically added menu items without removing the compile-time menu items. So the problem is that I can't delete the empty menus after the sub items have been deleted. 

See the following code. The problem is the last line: 

XtremeCommandBars.CommandBarControl foundMenuItem = null;

// check to see if the custom menu item exists in the FTM Commands menu

foundMenuItem = ControlMode.CommandBar.FindControl( 

XTPControlType.xtpControlButton, IDNum, true, true ); 

if( foundMenuItem != null )

{
// get the parent menu of the found item for future check

XtremeCommandBars.CommandBar parentMenu = 
(XtremeCommandBars.CommandBar)foundMenuItem.Parent;

// delete the item from the menu

foundMenuItem.Delete();
// delete the parent menu if there are no items left in it

if( parentMenu.Controls.Count <= 0 )

{
parentMenu.Delete(); // THIS DOESN'T WORK

}
