menu bars in forms

[mguwc]

Hi -
I'm new to VB.net and I'm not quite sure how to do this. I have created forms and I would like to have the menu "command" line appear on the top of my forms. I don't know if this option is located in the properties of the form or if this is something that I need to create.

You mean you want something like Word? A main application with its menu and the documents with it's menu's?
then you need to read up on MDI forms or forms in forms I think.

Are you even using MDI? ;-)

try looking into the MenuStrip control instead...

(BTW: I am using 2005 express beta)
Just double click the MenuStrip button from the ToolBox, which should place a MenuStrip accross the top of your form...

Then click on that strip and you should get something like a little box that says: "Type Here"

Click there and type in "command" or what ever...

click outside of the text field and it should switch to a menu item, double click on it to go to the code area for the menuitem

In previous versions it was called Mainmenu.
