Access MDI Form Menu Item from a child dll Form

[PK]

Hi,
I've a MDI form and a child form that comes from a dll. Everything works
fine until I had to uncheck or check a menu item in the MDI form based on
the changes in the child form. How to acheive this ? How can a child form
(that is in dll) access a menuitem in the main form ?
Pl. help.

Try casting the ChildForm.Parent property to an instance of your parent
form, and then accessing the MainMenu of the parent from that object.

I'm aware of this solution. But the problem here is; the child form is not
in the same project. My child form is in a dll, therefore I can't cast it. I
will not know the parent, since the child form is in a DLL.

Have you tried using the Menu property of the parent Form object
("this.MdiParent.Menu" from within the child form code) to access its active
MainMenu (assuming it has one)?
