MDI Child form menu

S

Steve

Hi all

I have several forms that will be child forms of an MDI parent. When I show
the form, the menu for the form seems to merge with the menu of the MDI
parent. Is this a setting I can change? The child form is not maximized, I
want the menu for the child form to be on the child form unless the user
decides to maximize the form, only then should it merge with the parent
form.

Thanks for any help.

Kind Regards,
Steve.

That is standard Windows behaviour for any MDI application - the menu will
always be on the MDI form, therefore if you create a child form with a menu,
that menu will automatically be placed into the MDI form's menu.

I'm afraid I can't offer you any advice on how to stop it doing this, if
indeed it is possible at all.
