Main Menu is Invisible

[S Shulman]

Hi

The main menu is just not visible on a regular form
I think that at some point it was visible but I havn't got a clue why it
changed

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Shmuel Shulman

Select the menu in the components tray at runtime in order to edit it. If
the menu is not visible at runtime, make sure you assigned the 'MainMenu' to
the form's 'Menu' property.

'Edit' the Main Menu at Runtime??????? Surely, you mean Designtime

S,

Also, click on the Form & view the properties. Does it say the Main Menu
name (i.e. MainMenu1 or mnuMain...) underthe Form's menu property?

Are you able to edit the menu at design time?

The reason why the menu is invisible is because the form is a child form.

Is there anything to do about it?

Are you talking about an MDI child form?

[Menus defined in MDI child forms are not showing]

Take a look at the menuitems' 'MergeType' property.
