RegisterMdiChildTypes and visual inheritance

[Mick Speake]

I have a number of forms that are derived from a base form using visual inheritance. The base form provides menu & toolbar items. (I.e. each form uses the same menu/toolbar). When using RegisterMdiChildTypes to eliminate flicker I have to include each derived form (just registering the base form has no effect).

Is there any way round this?

Hi Mick,

Unfortunately I am not aware of any easier method to use with RegisterMdiChildTypes. Since it''s possible for a derived Form to have different BarItems than it''s base Form, MainFrameBarManager can''t safely use the registration of the base Form.
