.NET 2.0 C#

Hi,

I have some code that tries to remove a MenuItem from a MenuStrip using :

theFormName.menuStrip1.Items.RemoveByKey("MenuX");

I can debug the code, and I know have a valid pointer to the Form : I know I
have a valid pointer to the MenuStrip control on that Form : and I know
there is a MenuItem in that MenuStrip on that Form which has the text
"MenuX" :

And no error is thrown when the line of code is executed, but the MenuItem
is not removed. MenuItems have no separate "key" property, so I have to
assume IntelliSense is informing me correctly that "key" is a string when I
hover over "RemoveByKey."

I am iterating a number of forms, and trying to remove the same menu item
from all forms, but this ain't working. I've tried refreshing the Form after
the RemoveByKey call with no results. Examining the MenuItem collection
after the call and looking at its InnerList property using the Property
Inspector shows it's still there.

This is a case where it would be very convenient to remove the MenuItem with
a string that matches its Text.

Is there a known bug with RemoveByKey ?

thanks, Bill
