2 questions:
1)I inserted a menu in an mdi window form. I right clicked on a menu
item and pressed edit names. I therefore edited all my menu item names.
Then I right clicked and pressed edit names again to return to the
normal view of the menu.
When I returned later on to muy menu names, they hadn´t been saved. How
do I use this utility (edit names), since the changes I edit don´t
prevail?
2) Is there a way to change the font and appearance of the mdi menu?
Thanks for any advice

Ceclilia, 1)I inserted a menu in an mdi window form. I right clicked on a menu
The Edit Names option allows you to toggle between changing the Name of the
MenuItem and changing the Text of a MenuItem. The Name of the MenuItem is
used in your VB source to refer to the control. The Text of a MenuItem is
what is displayed to the user.
2) Is there a way to change the font and appearance of the mdi menu?
You will need to create OwnerDraw MenuItems. you can refer to the source at
www.dotnetmagic.com or Charles Petzold's book "Programmin g Microsoft Windows
with Mcirosoft Visual Basic.NET" has a sample.
BTW: Thanks I did not realize that Edit Names was there, its a rather cool
option!
Hope this helps

Jay,
Thanks for your reply, I also found it a cool option.
The thing is that after changing all the menu item NAMES,
the changes were lost. Didn´t this happen to you?
I toggle back to menu item TEXT and then back to menu item NAMES to see
if my changes were saved, and they weren´t.
Please try it and let mi know.
Thanks
Cecilia

Yes that's annoying. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, I have no
idea why.

Cecilia,
I was playing with it more later last night, and found the same thing.
In VS.NET 2003 the new names were not being saved.
I'll submit a bug report to MS later.
Hope this helps

I have a restaurant menu to layout.

The format is item name, price, description, and possibly additional

best to use the space. I find that if I leave the width of the menu
items to auto, the layout is too spread out. If I limit the width,
then I have wasted space running along the page. I currently have the

The DataList is not as powerful as the DataGrid. It requires more work
from you since it has no default data presentation format. However,
the DataGrid begins to get very cumbersome as the number of columns of
data you present increases. Anything more than half a dozen columns or
so and you probably induce horizontal scrolling - a real no-no for me.
