Aha!  Solved it by using an observer in the class that manages my
dynamic menus.

Gambas is such a thing of beauty.  :-)

p.s. Tobi, you can see the Group name for a menu item in the .form file
as a suffix to the Menu item, e.g. 
{ mnuGroup Menu
    Text = ("Grouped Menu")
    { mnuGroupItem1 Menu MyGroup   <----!
      Name = "mnuGroup1"
      Text = ("G1")
    }
  }
similarly for other controls
  { txtData TextArea AnotherGroup   <---!
    Name = "txtData"
    MoveScaled(7,2,38,38)
    Expand = True
  }

I wonder why the IDE Group attribute was not given property status by
Benoit?
