MainFrameBarManager not usable on UserControl?

[Robbe Morris]

When I drag this control onto a UserControl, it tells me this control can only be used on a form.

Why is that?

Is there a workaround that would enable me to use the XPMenu like your Grid sample that deals with Excel?

Hi Robbe,

We are sorry to say that with the current implementation of XPMenus, we could not use XPMenus in UserControl. We have already logged feature request in this regard. Here is the feature request link

Add support for hosting the XPMenus framework in a UserControl.

However we use Form as UserControl by setting FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None and Form.TopLevel = false. So the Form works like a UserControl. Please refer to the attached sample and let me know if it helps you.

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

Do you have any news when this feature will be available ? the request is already one year old ...
