MDI Child menu

When you open MDI Child form inside of MDI Parent form,
menu of the MDI Child form is added to the menu of MDI
Parent. Is there a way to keep menu of MDI Child form on
this form, not to move it on MDI Parent menu.

Thanks,

Jan.

Jan,

You could do this, but it would require a lot of work, as you would be
responsibile for showing the menu at the appropriate place, creating your
own toolbar, etc, etc. Also, this isn't something that is really supported
by the operating system. For any application, there is typically only one
menu bar. A menu bar on each child window would be confusing, in my
opinion.

Hope this helps.
