Main Menu is Invisible

[S Shulman]

Hi

The main menu is just not visible on a regular form
I think that at some point it was visible but I havn't got a clue why it
changed

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Shmuel Shulman

Select the menu in the components tray at runtime in order to edit it. If
the menu is not visible at runtime, make sure you assigned the 'MainMenu' to
the form's 'Menu' property.

'Edit' the Main Menu at Runtime??????? Surely, you mean Designtime

S,

Also, click on the Form & view the properties. Does it say the Main Menu
name (i.e. MainMenu1 or mnuMain...) underthe Form's menu property?

Oh, my bad... :-/. You are right, that should read "design time" .

Are you able to edit the menu at design time?

 

[S Shulman]

Yes, Intrestingly some forms in the same application show the main menu
while the others don't
Thank you,

The reason why the menu is invisible is because the form is a child form.

Is there anything to do about it?

The reason why the menu is invisible is because the form is a child form.

Are you talking about an MDI child form?

 

[S Shulman]

Yes

Are you talking about an MDI child form?

[Menus defined in MDI child forms are not showing]

Take a look at the menuitems' 'MergeType' property.
