Hi all .

How to incorporate the XP Menus framework into my application

You should use the XP Menus framework as a replacement to the menus provided by the .NET framework. Using them both will result in improper behavior.

Take a look at our user’s guide for a step by step tutorial on how to incorporate XP Menus in your forms.

You should basically use a MainFrameBarManger (for designing a MDIContainer in an MDI scenario or a top-level form in an SDI scenario) or ChildFrameBarManager (for designing a MDIChild in an MDI scenario).

The BarManager will let you add a main menu and toolbars to your forms. Main-Menus and toolbars of an MDIChild form will be seamlessly merged with its parent’s during run-time.

You should add BarItems into the BarManager, representing each user selectable / clickable item in the menu / toolbar.

Once added, you can drag-and-drop BarItems into the toolbars and submenus as desired in a WYSIWYG design-time.
