Hi: What you have is this:
A project that uses a frmMain which is a MDI Window.
The frmMain has a Menu with menu items.
Then you have a frmWindow which is a Child Window which has a menu.
Now, any number of child instances can be open at the same time.
You think that merging all instances of frmWindow into frmMain will solve the problem. So, I am guessing that if you have 2 frmWindow objects opened you would have 2 sets of menus with the same MenuItems but that each would point to the MenuItems within each individual instance. I am not sure how merging all 3 menus will do much since the MenuItem names would be the same when displayed.
Now, I am not sure about that but it seems logical.
Also, what about the object instance?
If your frmWindow is opened twice and has the instance name frmWI and you want to access a sub:
frmWI.SomeSub()
What about the other frmWI window that is also open would that also have the object path
frmWI.SomeSub()
Perhaps the merge will handle this somehow but I think that is more the question you are trying to ask first. Will merging several instances of a single form with a parent window work to make a MDI Window accessible. I dont think so if all the instances will have the same names and menu items but perhaps someone has actually done this. I can envision several solutiions but I dont think this to be a very good one for this particular accessibility issue.

hi.
have tried looking online.
but cannot seem to find what i am looking for.
i have an application, which is a text editor.
i have two forms, with two sets of menus on them.
i have the menus in the first form.
but cannot see or hear the other menu items, using jaws, and routing the jaws cursur. so i would like to merge the menus, and have all the menus in the main form.
and to bring them into from the second form.
am i making sense?
so how do i do this in code.
and also would like to sort the menus.
if any one can help.
have searched and looked online.
but could not seem to find any thing using google, and trawling through about 50 pages.
i gave up.
can any one help?
thanks.
Marvin.
