.NET Menu not a control?

Hi there,

I'm running into slight confusion over a .NET menu "control", how comes
it doesn't get listed in the forms controls array? I'm trying to enumerate
through *every* control on any form, and unfortunately unlesss I treat the
menu as a separate entity and then enumerate it after It wont work.

Does anyone know how I can enumerate *every* control on any form in
VB.NET? Cheers in advance.

Its a component not a control and you can use reflexion
to browse controls/components.

'MainMenu' is, like timers, for example, a component. See (complete

a.. Controls. The System.Windows. Forms namespace provides a variety of
control classes that allow you to create rich user interfaces. Some controls
are designed for data entry within the application, such as TextBox and
ComboBox controls. Other controls display application data, such as Label
and ListView. The namespace also provides controls for invoking commands
within the application, such as Button and ToolBar. In addition, the
PropertyGrid control can be used to create your own Windows Forms designer
that displays the designer-visible properties of the controls.
a..

Components. In addition to controls, the System.Windows. Forms namespace
provides other classes that do not derive from the Control class but still
provide visual features to a Windows-based application. Some classes, such
as ToolTip and ErrorProvider, extend the capabilities or provide information
to the user. Other classes, such as Menu, MenuItem, and ContextMenu, provide
the ability display menus to the user to invoke commands within an
application. The Help and HelpProvider classes enable you to display help
information to the user of your ap

I'm working on a plotting control. The plotting control will have a context menu with basic commands for "scaling", "zooming", etc. Is there a way that, from the parent form, I can add more commands to the control's context menu? I'm envisioning a case where the control has a set of context menu items, and the parent form also has a set of context menu items. Thanks.
