VB - Menu Editor Dialog Box - NegotiatePosition

VB - Menu Editor Dialog Box - NegotiatePosition
when i tried to set the NegotiatePosition property for a menu item
other than a top-level menu i got the error-
Only Top Level Menus can have non-zero NegotiatePosition.
how can i define all the menus position under the top level menu to
the left side? or there is other property to change menus position
(not the top level menu) ?

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do with your menus, but it
doesn't sound like the NegotiatePosition property is what you want. Here
that properties description from the VB help files:

"Sets a value that determines whether or not top-level
Menu controls are displayed on the menu bar while a
linked object or embedded object object on a form is
active and displaying its menus. Not available at run time."

If you want to read the full description of this property, you can look up
"NegotiatePosition property" (do not include the quote marks) in the VB help
files at its Index tab.

Can you explain it more? I have no idea what you mean by having all
the menus under the top level to the left.

All that does is provide a setting for applications that provide a menu
inside VB, such as when embedding a microsoft word object. Setting false
causes your menu to remain; setting True causes Word's menu to replace yours
when the object has focus, providing all word's built-in functionality
(well, most of at least).

It does nothing with respect to menus within and across your project's
forms.
