I'm trying develop a SmartPhone application in C#.
But it's bad!
It just can't create menuitem as following code.
---------------------------------------------------
this.mainMenu = new System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu();
this.menuItem1 = new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem();
this.menuItem11 = new System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem();

this.mainMenu.MenuItems.Add(this.menuItem1);
this.menuItem1.MenuItems.Add(this.menuItem11); <- Fail
---------------------------------------------------
Does anyone know how to do such things in C#?
This is my first little try on CF, I don't think so it's
good as EVC of SmartPhone device!!

The smartphone is particularly picky about how menus are arrange in order to
comply with the design guidelines. The first menu item (left-hand softkey)
can not have a sub-menu, however the right-hand can. So in your case you
should add a main menu item first with no child items, then add your menu
with sub items so they are placed on the right soft-key.

Wow! It's really work! I'm so wondering about this picky
rule. However, you just give me another hope to keep
trying on CF in C#. Thanks.
