How do I programaticaly add ParentBarItem(s) to an exiting Bar such as a Menu bar?

I've attached a sample app that tries to accomplish this.

Modifying the Main-Menu programatically is different from other toolbars because the Main-Menu is a merged menu (of all the MDI Children, if there is any).

This merged main-menu bar is exposed in the MainFrameBarManager and you should modify it to modify the main-menu. Modifying the original Bar will not work.

Do this in your code:
this.mainFrameBarManager1.mainMenuBar.Items.Add( edit );

The mainMenuBar field will be made a property and better documented in the final release. We apologize for the inconvenience.
