[billym]

I have descovered how to create a tray menu item dynamically by using:

EX>

For $i = 1 To $Groups[0][0]

Assign($Groups[$i][0], TrayCreateItem($Groups[$i][1]), 2)

Next

but having trouble trying to remove the menu items using :

EX>

For $i = 1 To $Groups[0][0]

TrayItemDelete($Groups[$i][0])

Next

can someone please help!

Not sure why your using the Assign.

The following should work for storing the control Id's

For $i = 1 To $Groups[0][0]
    $Groups[$i][0] = TrayCreateItem($Groups[$i][1],2)
Next

Storing the items in the array is not the problem. It seems to be deleting the dynamically created menu items...

Both your code and Gary's code will successfully create the tray menu items, but only using Gary's code will you be able to delete them again with your deletion code because Gary's code does store the references to the items in the array while yours doesn't.

Here's an example of how Assign() works:

$apple = "banana"
$banana = "456"
assign($apple, "789")
; this sets $banana to 789 and not $apple

Hope that clears the confusion. Assign() is used to assign a value to a variable whose name is stored in another.

assign($apple, "789")
; not identical to
$apple = "789"
