combobox in menubar

I have a form with a main menubar containing a number of menu options.
In the empty right half of the menubar I want to place a combobox where
users can make some sort of selection.
However, when I place a combobox on the form and move it to the menu area it
disappaears behind the menubar, instead of appearing in front of it.
How can I place the combobox on top of (or in front of) the menubar?
I use VB.NET 2003 standard edition.

I did, but that does not seem to work in combination with a menubar.
The combobox still disappears behind the menubar.

How can the toolbar and menubar be hidden in IE? When opening the window via javascript I can specify 'toolbar=no,menubar=no', which works fine. However if the window already exists how can I remove them? If the browser is Netscape I can use javascript: window.toolbar.visible = false; window.menubar.visible = false; but IE produces the error: "'window.toolbar.visible' is null or not an object".

Here you can Switch on/off the statusbar. How could I switch on the Menubar?

I'm building custom menubars for my application--a different one for each form. When I right-click on a menubar and select Customize and click on the toolbars tab, the menubar called "Menu Bar" can sometimes be unchecked and other times it can't. I'm wondering what determines when and why it sometimes prevents me from unchecking it. In my main form, the "Menu Bar" is unchecked but my custom menubar is checked. I also have my main form's...

When I load a child form inside an MDI parent, the menubar of the parent covers the child somehow. The MDI parent is set to FormWindowState.Normal and has MaximizeBox, MinimizeBox and ControlBox set to True. The child has the Startup state set to FormWindowState.Maximized and has the MaximizeBox, MinimizeBox and ControlBox set to False. Also the Text property of the child is blank. So ideally, when the child form is maximized inside the...

Hi, I have a custom menubar which lets users jump to useful forms in my database. For example if I first open a form called 'Add Individual' then another called 'Add Firm', if i try opening 'Add Individual' again nothing happens. (All form openings were from the menubar) I assume this is because the form is already open and so cant open another copy of it. As the menubar lets users follow a different

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
