Merge MDI parent menu and child menu

[CJM]

I have a parent MDI form with a menu and a child form with a menu.
Each menu has a item named 'View'. When the menus merge I end up with
two 'View' menu items.

Is there a way to prevent this and make the items under each 'View'
combine into one.


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Play around with the mergetype and mergeorder of each main menu header and
menu item to get it to work. I don't have it right here in front of me, but
if I remember correctly, you have to set the type to merge and make sure the
merge orders of each menu item are the same.

With the setup below,
MDI
File - type = merge order = 0
Open - order = 1
new = 2
close = 5

Then you setup the child as an add and have file as order = 0 and save = 3

Confused yet?!? This should get you headed in the right direction.

HTH,
Brian
