with menuItem1.PerformClick(); you send a event of Click. but the menu isn´t open so i can´t visualize it. :((

that's right, but if you do this on the parent menuItem it will do what you wish cz the click event of the parent menu item is to open its drop down items. for example if your have a File menu item and under it New. if you like to view nuew you write:
fileMenuItem.PerformClick(); -

It can't. The
ShowDropDownmethod is member of theToolStripMenuItemclass that is new in .NET Framework 2.0. I think the classes in Framework 1.1 provide no support for what you're trying to achieve, so you're somehow at a loss.

PerformSelectmethod doesn't show the menu.

No need to apologize. I was just curious if it may work on other computers.

Maybe one could disassemble the ToolStripMenuItem and see what they are doing inside the ShowDropDown method. Or use Windows API to really simulate a mouse click on the menu item.
