Hide main menu

[Malfunction]

Hi there......

 

I have a menufunction that switches my app to fullscreen mode.* The user can edit a sheet (panel) and preview it in that mode. The panel gets resized to fullscreen and everything else hase to disappear.

I use

this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;

this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;

to maximize my app and

toolBar1.Visible = false; to hide the toolbar but how can I hide the mainmenu?

 

It has no visible property and this.menu = void or null doesn't work either.

 

Any ideas?

* Just like Powerpoint where you can edit a page and preview it in fullscreen.

To hide a menu, hide its MenuItems ....

[divil]

this.Menu = null;

 

That works.

OK, took me too much time typing... :D

 

My solution would have been more difficult btw.

this.Menu = null;

 

That works.

 

after hiding the Menu, How to make the menu appears again?

 

this.Menu = new Menu(); <- it doesn't work

 

Thank you.

Why not just set all the top menuitems visible property to false

 

me.MenuItem1.visible = false

 

and when you want to display it again

 

me.MenuItem1.visible = true

You're creating a whole new menu without any menuitems. Somewhere in your form you (or the designer) declared a variable probably called mainMenu1 that holds a reference to the menu.

this.Menu = null removes the menu from the form but the reference is still kept by the variable mainMenu1.

So this.Menu = thismainMenu1; should work.
