How to have main menu in a control?

Hi,

I am trying to create a control project with a menu on the top. It seems I cannot add main menu control to my control and I do not want to use contextmenu since I need the users to see it without doing anything.
Could anyone please give some suggestions?
Thanks

if it is a Custom Control Page
you can drop a Context menu and activate it by programatically
other wise if it is a User Control
and Windows Control Library then
you have to add the context menu and
select the particular control and set
its
"Context Menu" property to the just added
Contextmenu1
so that its now assigned. and now on right click the menu should come.

thanx

thanks. Yeah, I used contextmenu, but I do not want user to right click to get it, instead, I would like the menu will show up as part of the control on the top. Any suggestions?

Ahh , then you need to use the
MainMenu on Forms. make sure that applications are MDI based and you handle the windows properly. like min/max etc...

the problem is that when I started a window control lib project in Visual Studio .NET, the MainMenu option is gray. I simply cannot move it to my form.
What does MDI mean?
Thanks

MDI is Multiple document interface.
if MainMenu is gray then you need to use that manually.

for example.

make usual windows app. and make a form. drop that mainmenu and
copy paste the code in ur control code.
