    Can it be done?? Menus on MDI views (not on mainframe)?

    I am working on an MDI application consisting of several different views working off of a single document. Each view contains a different representation of the data found within the document class (currently I have three FormViews and one ListView). I have successfully placed unique toolbars on each of the different views and am trying to attach their corresponding menus as well. However, the menus are actually attached to the mainframe. Does anyone know of a way to place the menus on the views themselves (as opposed to changing the mainframe menu according to the currently active view)? My desire is to keep the mainframe menu the same regardless of which view is active and place the view specific menus on the views themselves.

    Thanks in advance,
    Scott

    Since the child window can't have it's own menu, you can try to make your tool bar looks like a menu, e.g. VC++ studio type.
    this is discussed in the menu section.
