I've created a derived MenuItem class. How do I get the Forms Designer MainMenu object to generate code which uses my MenuItems instead of the base MenuItems? Base MenuItems is ReadOnly how can I supress it

AFAIS that's not possible.

Thanks a lot Mr.Wagner.
Actually I am developing Custom Menus.I inherited MenuItem class but was
facing problem when i am inheriting MainMenu class. MainMenu Class is
having a MenuItems collection which is readonly and I can't assign
collecion of my MenuItem class derived from MenuItem??

Does this means that i have to develop my own menus can can't inherit
form MenuItem, MainMenu and Context Menu Classes.

I have to add a designer to this Inherited MainMenu Class which will take my inherited MenuItem Collection

Does this means that i have to develop my own menus can can't inherit form MenuItem, MainMenu and Context Menu Classes

Please suggest.

You can add menuitems derived from the 'MenuItem' class, but you will
have to perform an explicit cast ('DirectCast' in VB.NET).

form MenuItem, MainMenu and Context Menu Classes.

You can inherit from 'MenuItem', for the other classes, have a look at
the documentation if they are marked as 'NotInheritable'.
