XP Menus merging

I have a MDI main form and a treeview as a docked control via the DockManager. Now I want the mdi main to have a menu and the treeview to have a menu and both should be merged to one. If I have a child form I can have a child menu which is merged with the main menu, but the cild form I can't dock with the docking manager, right? Is there any way for a non-form-derived class to have a child menu and to merge it in the main menu? Regards Peter

Peter, You can associate menu and toolbar items with a TreeControl (or any other control) and then later "import" into into the Form's menu structure, via code. This attached sample shows you how this is done. Take a look at the sample.txt in the topmost folder. Regards, Praveen

If I run your sample, I get a NullReferenceException in code "Me._bars.Add(mainMenuBar)" in the constructor of the BarItemsRepository class. How can I solve that problem?

Hi, Could you please attach the whole exception here? Also the version you are testing this against and whether or not this is a licensed version. The code I attached was for the latest version we have, maybe you have an older version that's not compatible. Regards, Praveen

Peter, This is a problem with the eval version. While our newer licensed versions have been fixed we don't have a newer eval version. So, you might have to wait till you purchase. Or a few more days before we update our eval. I would give it another 1 month for a new eval. Regards, Praveen
