Hi Hamid,


If you prefix the appropriate letter of the menu with an ampersand you can send the keystrokes to call this menu. For instance, if your menu is File prefix with '&' (&File). The name then appears File.

Now use the following:
System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("%F")
...to call up the menu. Your cursor should be positioned on the first entry in the list.


Paul.
PS: It's a down and dirty way of doing it, though! ;)
