How do I make the speak text toolbar item have a menu with two options and what do I do to get those to menu item options to do something? Here's what I am doing to create the toolbar and menu items so far the menus aren't showing up Code: dim SelectAllButton as ToolButton dim SoundButton as ToolButton SelectAllButton = New ToolButton SoundButton = New ToolButton SelectAllButton.Caption = "Select All" SelectAllButton.Name = "Select All" SelectAllButton.icon = SelectAllIcon SelectAllButton.Style=ToolButton.ToolStylePushButton Me.append SelectAllButton Dim SpeakMenu as New MenuItem Dim StartSpeaking as New MenuItem Dim StopSpeaking as New MenuItem SoundButton.Name = "Speak Text" SpeakMenu.text = "Speak Text" StartSpeaking.text = "Start Speaking..." StopSpeaking.text = "Stop Speaking..." SpeakMenu.append StartSpeaking SpeakMenu.append StopSpeaking SoundButton.caption = "Speak Text" SoundButton.name = "Speak Text" SoundButton.icon = SoundIcon SoundButton.Style=ToolButton.ToolStyleDropDown I got this in the dropdownmenuaction Code: Select Case hititem.text Case "Start Speaking..." speak (readerwnd.bookarea.text) Case "Stop Speaking..." speak (" ",True) End Select and this in the action event.. Code: Select Case item.name Case "Select All" readerwnd.bookarea.selectAll Case "Read Text" beep End Select Me.append SoundButton But it isn't working Can someone show me what I am doing wrong?
