Rewriting an old dot.net 1.1 program using the new tools available in VS-2010. I am having one heck of a time with menuStrip on my mainform and childforms. I liked being able to add and put stuff where I wanted the mergeIndex my old mainMenu tool BUT that appears to be progress with Microsoft. I’ve noticed that the VS-2010 and other new Microsoft Products do not use separator bars in their drop-down menus anymore? Separating the save commands from the print commands from the recent commands and then keeping Exit separated and at bottom is much more of a hassle with the menuStrip tool but having toolTips is very useful for my more exotic menu selections. My question to you programming Gurus is have these separator bars become passé with the new design of the menuStrip? Just want to do it once and do it correctly when I do it?
