OK, makes sense - i don't mean to ask, but I don't quite get how that approach works, could you guide me through it?

I want to make a fairly complex tree; say four levels deep with nested submenus, some go all the way to the fourth level, some don't. This can be used as a MenuBar thing or as a ContextualMenu (opened by ConstructContextualMenu).

I assume you advise against building this in the IDE, you are suggesting coding it out?

Constructing a Menu Tree using new MenuItem instances seemed reasonable, but one thing I don't understand is how you link up code to the events.

Dim m As New MenuItem

base.Append m

OK, so, wonderful, so how do you set up an Event that has code?

Write a MenuItem subclass in which you implement the Action and EnableMenu event handlers.
