Thanks for your response... I thought I'd tell you why. Basically I want to
detachable forms so that the MDI parent will be a tabbing form. The children
can be detatched to become independent of the parent.
Because I want the parent to be a tabbing container, having the menu with
the caption buttons there would make the window look ugly. At any rate, I
found a solution to the problem... two lines placed in the MDI parent
constructor:
this.MainMenuStrip = new MenuStrip();
this.MainMenuStrip.Visible = false;
Thanks for your response :-) I hope I answered your question too :-)

hi,
why would you want to do that? if they are all maximised (the MDI children
that is) and there were no caption buttons in the menu bar you wouldnt be
able to switch from page to page.
anyway, i'm not the surest of people but i suspect you cant. i think the
menuBar control is written to do that. you would have to write your own
MenuBar control or not have one.
hope it helps! sorry if it doesnt!

Hi,
I have an MDI form that has a number of child forms which are all
maximized.
How do I make an MDI Parent that does not have the menu bar (with the
max/min/close buttons for the child)?
Thanks in advance,
Tim.
