I have ADXContextMenu - adxTextContextMenu named "Text" an he has some buttons.
I want to add the same buttons to "Spelling" context menu I do this in AddinInitialize event like that: 


for (int i = 0; i < this.adxTextContextMenu.Controls.Count; i++) {
    this.adxSpellingContextMenu.Controls.Add(this.adxTextContextMenu.Controls[i]);
}


But that not work. But why?

Hi Michał,

I have a couple of questions for you:
1. What Office version do you use? What version and build number of Add-in Express do you use?
2. Could you please take a screenshot of the context menu you want to be customized?

Word 2010, Add-in Express 6.4.3056 Standard
In Designer that's looks like this
User added an image
When I click on text (button to Context Menu added in designer) all is ok
User added an image
I see the button with text "Usuń osobę"
But when I click on text with error (Spelling) button not exists.
User added an image
But button is added to this.adxSpellingContextMenu.Controls. I use Property Visible to enable disable buttons.

Hi Michał,

Please use the ADXRibbonContextMenu component for customizing context menus in Office 2010. You can read more about this in the Step 8. Customizing context menus and Step 9. Customizing Outlook context menu sections of the online documentation.
