Does anybody know how to find a menu through code when it's not a top-level menu item?

CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.FindControl won't work because menus (controls of type xtpControlPopUp) all have an ID of 0 for some reason.
CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls.Count only has the count for top-level menu items.

Dim Control As XtremeCommandBars.CommandBarControl
For Each Control in CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls
Debug.Print Control.Caption
next

Only lists the top-level menu items

I'm stumped. Every time I get by one obsticle I hit another. I was going to just use the .DescriptionText property of the menus to store ID's since the .ID property doesn't work, but if there is no way to cycle through the controls collection, it must be impossible.

What would be so dificult about making the .ID property for xtpControlPopup controls work?

Any ideas are appreciated. Yes, I've looked at the Dynamic Popups sample. CommandBars_InitCommandsPopup is just silly. That only allows access to menus as they are clicked.

Thanks!

I guess the answer to my own questions is that controls that are not top-level popups should be xtpControlButtonPopUp and not xtpControlPopUp. The .id property does work on xtpControlButtonPopup and .FindControl will find them.

You are right, you must set id manually in xtpControlPopup controls.

Control.Id = 20
