Inheriting forms

Ronald Hermans

Hello,

I have a Delphi background and just started with c#. I'm trying to inherited
a form that has a MenuStrip on it with some basic items in it. I want to
extend the menu in the intherid form but I'm not able to access the
properties as they are disabled. Can someone tell me what it is that I'm
missing?

TIA
Ronald

You need to make sure the member variable for the menu strip is protected
(default is private) so that it can be modified by inheritors.

By the way, the strip controls (MenuStrip and toolbar etc.) don't fully
support visual inheritance in VS05 - it's been mentioned on this
newsgroup before. I think it will be addressed in a future VS release.

If you're willing to work with them in code rather than on the design
surface, you can still get things done. Of course, the members will need
to be protected, like Tom says.
