Menu "-" gives exception

[Zanna]

Hi all!

Why sometimes if I put a MenuItem with Text = "-" it gives the
NotupportedException in the InitializeComponents when the

Me.MenuItem3.Text = "-"

is executed?

Some workaound for this?

Thanks!

Cut the statements from the InitialiseComponent and do them in the
constructor or OnLoad of your form.

It does not still work

Can you share the code you are trying? If I remember correctly, you must
assign the "-" before adding the menuitem to a menu.

Ah!
You didn't say that the Text = "-" must be assigned *before* the menuitem is
added to the menu

In this way it works: I moved the MenuItems.Add() in the
InitializeComponents() after the Text assignment.

Bye,
Thanks

You are right, I didn't say it in my first reply, sorry
Glad it worked in the end.
