Simcoder Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 I've recently ran into a problem when using Child forms. At design time, I create a main menu for my child form but when I run the application, all the menu items in my child form are now located in my parents main menu. Can someone help shed some light on this? Thanks in advance. -=Simcoder=- Quote Whatever thy hand findest to do, do it with all thy heart - Jesus
Leaders snarfblam Posted June 14, 2005 Leaders Posted June 14, 2005 You will probably notice that you get the same exact behavior with any other MDI application. This is just how MDI applications work. The idea is to incorperate the menus of the parent and child seamlessly. I don't know if there is a non-.Net way to place the menu inside the child, but even if there is, I don't recommend it. Check out the MenuItem.MergeOrder and MenuItem.MergeType properties in MSDN to see how you can get your menus to merge appropriately. Quote [sIGPIC]e[/sIGPIC]
Simcoder Posted June 14, 2005 Author Posted June 14, 2005 Thanks for your response. I guess I'll just have custom make my own menubar or just use the parent one. I'f I'm not mistaken, Vb 6 allowed child forms to have their own main menus. Anyways, thanks again. -=Simcoder=- Quote Whatever thy hand findest to do, do it with all thy heart - Jesus
