But I need to insert the menu item first and then I have to set the text. Not sure how to insert the menu item dynamically.

Hi Naveen;

    FYI:  This is done automatically for you if you use an MDI style application and then open the Window class using the OpenSheetWithParm() command.

Food for thought.

For some requirement we are using OpenWithParm() function instead of OpenSheetWithParm().

And OpenWithParm doesn't add window name to menu item.

OpenWithParm doesn't open MDI sheets, it opens normal window objects (like w_main, or w_resp_getinput).

Why do you want to add an open window, that's not in the MDI, to the MDI window list?

1 Add a function to the menu object that takes Window Name as the argument and sets the menu item text property.

2 In the window open:

m_menuname lm_menu

lm_menu = this.MenuID

lm_menu.mf_UpdateWName("Window Name")
