I need to force a MDI parent to refresh its menu because the child has
changed its menu.

Any suggestions on how to do that?

thanks

I believe you guessed correctly, I am using the older menus (not the strips)

What I was hoping to do is have the MdiParent merge menus like it does when
a child becomes active. That is, do it again since things have changed in
the child since the merge was done when the child became active.

I think you're showing me how a child can update the menu directly.


Thanks for the reply
