Iftekhar,

Thanks for the sample, I see the problem. If you give me more info. on the scenario, any non-standard behavior that you want to implement, I will try to recommend you the right approach.

I would like to know when you will be adding bar items in your child form, when you would like to delete them, etc. What you would want to happen when switching between different child forms, etc.

Hi,
I have a common default child form which content change. When I create the default child form instance, I send the content of the form. So, I need to create the menu in my 1 arg constractor where I send my content information. Menu mearge work with the default constractor. Default constractor has no idea about the content. When I switch between child window, app should show the right child menu. How can I do this?

Thanks
Iftekhar

Iftekhar,

Is it possible for you use "dummy" BarItems in the default constructor whose Text you can later change based on the "content"? Are the no. of items you would create based on content defenite or is there a max count?

I was trying to put togather a sample, that added bar items when a child form was activated and removed those items when a child form was deactivated. I noticed some bugs while doing this. We have fixed those issues now and we preparing a patch today that will include the fixes. I will notify you when we have that patch.

Iftekhar,

Here is your modified sample that should show you how you can add/remove items dynamically from the child form.
