Reflection and Menu Merging in MDIs

We have an MDI application that looks for forms in which a common interface
has been implemented. We can instantiate the forms and display them as
children of the mdi and use the functionality on them.

The problem is that the menus from the child forms don't show up. They
don't even show up on the
form itself, much less merge with the mdiparent menus

We have changed the modifiers on the menu and on each item in the menu to
public so they can be seen outside the assembly. We have tried not making
the form an mdichild and using it as a stand-alone application (still
instantiated by the mdi, although not as a child). The child form does
appear in the 'windows' list as a child of the mdi.

Is there any way to make available to the mdi, the menu on a child form
instantiated through reflection?

Is there a decent explanation of how menu merging with MDI forms work in VB.NET? I've read through the online help and it still seems that whenever I change menus around or whatever, it breaks everything. VB6, as repetitive as it was to retype menus, was at least consistent. It seems that VB.NET throws menu items wherever it feels like.

Hi, I've developed a plug-in application that basically is constructed of 2 pieces 1). the "main framework" 2). channels. Using Reflection in the Main Framework, i dynamically load Channels. This works fine and great. My problem is w/ menus. Each Channel returns a Popup Menu (based on an interface requirement) that gets placed in the Main Framework's main menubar. Again, works fine. However, what i'm unsure of is the eventhandler...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
