Main Menu not showing in Top-Level-Form

[castor2003]

I have a MDI form which I use to launch my app. My main toolbar comes up fine from the Activate method. I placed DO MAINMENU.MPR in the forms INIT()and I only see a flash of it.


Any help?

Top-Level form menus need special handling. From the help file:
In the Init event of the form, run the menu program and pass it two parameters:

DO menuname.mpr WITH oForm, lAutoRename

oForm is an object reference to the form. In the Init event of the form, pass THIS as the first parameter.
lAutoRename specifies whether or not a new unique name is generated for the menu. If you plan to run multiple instances of the form, pass .T. for lAutoRename.

For example, you can call a menu called mySDImenu with this code:

DO mySDImenu.mpr WITH THIS, .T.

Prior to what rgbean has said, when you are in the menu designer, use the View menu then General options and then put a check mark on the Top Level Form. After that, Click Menu then Generate.

Hope this can help.
