 MDI Form's menu replaced by MDI Child

I've developed an MDI application where an MDI child form has some non
visible menus used for context popup on a TreeView or ListView control.
        Since an MDI child form's menu replace the MDI form menu, the result is
that there's no menu bar at all.
        If I create the menu items on the MDI form itself and I use them from the
MDI child just as MDI form's properies, everything runs fine but it doesn't
look so clean to me.
Is there someone with a tip for me?

        Thank you in advance, Marco.

Hi Marco:

Since an MDI child form's menu replace the MDI form menu, the result is
that there's no menu bar at all.

A couple things I can think of that may work for you:

1.  Place the popup menus in the MDI form -- you know they are there and
just
reference them from your child form when required.

2.  Place the popup menus on a separate, non-child form.  You don't have to
show the form,
just load it and use the menus when the child form is loaded -- unload the
form when the child
form is unloaded.

Hope this helps,

Doug.
