why not just put the menus on the main window and then just get the current tab in focus to perform tasks? Alternatively, he could use a notebook-like control since MDI died out in the 90s or so.

Hi Ande:He has a MDI Window and one child window which will serve as a text page in the MDI text editor.Several diferent files can be edited at the same time.That means that every time he opens a new document a new instance of the edit window inside the MDI is spawned. All of the child windows would have the same window name and the same names for all each individual window's controls including menus and menu items. There are ways to handle this but merging all the windows together sounds like it is not the answer. The Form class has methods and properties that could be used to perform editing from within each child window or control the existance of the child windows from the MDI window but that is not something I have time to dig into and not a part of his assignment. So, that is what he is trying to do and what is going wrong and where to look for the answers.Rick USA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy B." <sonfire11@xxxxxxxxx> To: <program-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2012 12:04 PM Subject: [program-l] Re: vb questionIt seems confusing what he wants to do. I would make an MDI window likeOffice 2010 has. An MDI parent with an unlimited amount of possible childwindows that could be opened at any point in time. The menu would becontextual because you don't want to change the font if you have no visibledocuments on the screen....Just my $.02. -----Original Message-----From: program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Florian-achtige Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2012 3:00 AM To: program-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [program-l] Re: vb questionAsk your nearest restaurant rep?
