Hi Ohhh,

I presume that AdministrationToolStripMenuItem has a sub menu item: UserAccountToolStripMenuItem.

I try the following code in VB 2005 and VB 2008 and they work fine.

Maybe the sub menu item: UserAccountToolStripMenuItem has been set as Visible = False before showing current form.

You can create newWinForms project totry the code.

Code Snippet

Public Class Form1

' Hide the sub menu item

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

AdministrationToolStripMenuItem.DropDownItems("UserAccountToolStripMenuItem").Visible = False

End Sub

'Show the sub menu item

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

AdministrationToolStripMenuItem.DropDownItems("UserAccountToolStripMenuItem").Visible = True

End Sub

End Class
