Common menu system for all forms

[pramodrenikindi]

Hi all,

Need urgently, I am doing a pocket pc application in vb.net and sql
server. In the pocket pc application there are three forms . form1,
form2 , form3. The menu is on form1 and when you click the menu item on
form1 form 2 is opened on form1 with menu at bottom of form2 . that is
overlapping form1 and form2 . This logic is working .
The is code i am using in form1 to open form2 on form1.

form2 = New form2
Me.Controls.Add(Me.form2 )
form2 .BringToFront()
form2 .Visible = True

There is a button in form2 when we click on that it opens form3 but it
should open on form1 . That is overlapping form3 and form1 . I mean a
common menu system for all the forms. How to write code in form2 for
form3 to open on form1.

All PPC applications have a "Menu" that is of type MenuItem. The
application menu is common for all forms.

There are more advanced programming methods that can be used to create
your own menu system if this doesn't work. ie Panel for your menu and
then panels for your forms. If you need more examples or help with
this I can try to assist you.
