Hi list ! The following is question i found on another usergroup . Just have a look on it..
************************************************************** Has anyone had any experience with inherited forms that contain menus acting strangely in the Design View? I have a Form with a MainMenu containing File -> Exit and Help -> About menu items. Lets call this BaseForm. The MainMenu and its menu items are public, so they can be altered by child forms. ChildForm inherits from BaseForm. When I add menu items to the MainMenu in ChildForm (such as File -> New or File -> Open), the project codes and compiles fine. After I close and reopen the Design View, however, the menu items I added to ChildForm are no longer visible. They're still in the code. They're still there and functioning when the program runs. But they're just not there in Design View. Anybody encountered anything like this? I might have to take the MainMenu out of BaseForm. But what does this say for Visual Inheritance? ********************************************************************* i can see the menu items added in property window but as i select that particular item the inherited form get selected ( after compiling and running before that i can select that particular menu item ).
