Hi, in my form, there is a tool bar, one of them for external tools. By default it has no sub-buttons.
My program will come with a directory called "tools" and users will be able to place .lnk files in there and the file name will show up as a sub-button on the tool bar, and when clicked, will open the file.

This is more advanced than anything I have learned so far, so I need help accomplishing this.
So far i have simply this:

var files = Directory.GetFiles(Dir + @"tools\").Where(name => name.EndsWith(".lnk"));
            foreach (String file in files)
            {
                //create a button for each file
            }

Let's assume you are currently using a ToolStrip:

http://msdn.microsof....toolstrip.aspx

A ToolStrip consists out of a collection of ToolStripItem, which are held in the ToolStrip.Items property:

http://msdn.microsof...#code-snippet-2

You can declare a new instance of the ToolStripItem class:

ToolStripMenuItem fruitToolStripMenuItem = new ToolStripMenuItem("Fruit", null, null, "Fruit");

And then add it to your toolstrip:

ToolStrip.Items.Add(fruitToolStripMenuItem);
