Hello,
Can someone tell me how to programaticaly (wow) force a top level menu item to drop down For example: Like when you click the standard 'File' menu and you get the lower menu items to drop down. I need to be able to do that by code. Thanks ahead,
Aaron

Hello,
Thank you very much. SendKeys was the answer. You guys are great.

Oh I see, the solution I gave was for VB 2005. If you're using VB6 you'll either have to use a Windows API call, or use SendKeys to send Alt+<accelerator key letter> to the menu to drop it down.

Hi Aaron,
You can use the ShowDropDown method to do this (i.e. FileToolstripmenuitem.Showdropdown())
Hope that helps,
