    Hi

    How would i dynamically add a hovermenuextender to a page? I've been trying to do it like so but to no avail:

    Dim p As New Panel
    p.cssclass="popupMenu"
    'add some controls to the panel

    dim hyp as new hyperlink
    'set link properties

    Dim hme As New HoverMenuExtender
    hme.TargetControlID = hyp.ID
    hme.PopupControlID = p.ID
    hme.HoverCssClass =     "popupHover"
    hme.PopupPosition = HoverMenuPopupPosition.Right

    tc.Controls.Add(hme) 'tc is a table cell

    Nothing happens when i hover over the hyperlink and there is nothing in the html to suggess the hover menu extender is being created at all. When i create a static menu extender there is some javascript in the html that looks like it is setting up the extender.

    what am i doing wrong?

    many thanks

    andrea

    The following works for me and might help:

    <%@ Page Language="VB" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="ajaxToolkit" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<script runat="server">
    Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Dim p As New Panel
        p.ID = "p"
        p.BackColor = Drawing.Color.Aqua
        form1.Controls.Add(p)
        
        Dim l As New Label
        l.Text = "text"
        p.Controls.Add(l)
        
        Dim h As New HyperLink
        h.ID = "h"
        h.Text = "link"
        h.NavigateUrl = "http://asp.net/"
        form1.Controls.Add(h)
        
        Dim m As New HoverMenuExtender
        m.TargetControlID = h.ID
        m.PopupControlID = p.ID
        m.PopupPosition = HoverMenuPopupPosition.Bottom
        form1.Controls.Add(m)
    End Sub
</script>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title>Sample Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <div>
            <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
        </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>
