Hi Dick,
Thanks for your feedback.
I do not think I understand you very well. As you said, we can easily do
this in VS.net 2003, so can you provide us a VS.net2003 sample about the
feature you need? Then I think I can understand your meaning much better.
Thanks for your understanding.
Best regards,

I would send you a zip file of the following simple example but I don't know
how to attach a file to a message so here's the essence of the code. When
you click on File, Open Child in the Mainform, cmd1 and cmd2 are inserted
after View and before Window on the parent form. I cannot duplicate this
insertion using Menustrips.
Appreciate your ongoing help
