You can use this property to switch between complete menu sets at run time. For example, you can define one MainMenu to be displayed when your multiple-document interface (MDI) form has no active MDI child forms and another MainMenu to display when a child window is displayed. You can also use a different MainMenu when specific conditions exist in your application that require displaying a different menu set.
The following code example creates a MainMenu, assigns two MenuItem objects to the MainMenu and binds it to a form. This example requires that you have a Form created that is named Form1.
Public Sub CreateMyMainMenu()
' Create an empty MainMenu.
Dim mainMenu1 As New MainMenu()
Dim menuItem1 As New MenuItem()
Dim menuItem2 As New MenuItem()
menuItem1.Text = "File"
menuItem2.Text = "Edit"
' Add two MenuItem objects to the MainMenu.
mainMenu1.MenuItems.Add(menuItem1)
mainMenu1.MenuItems.Add(menuItem2)
' Bind the MainMenu to Form1.
Menu = mainMenu1
End Sub
public void CreateMyMainMenu()
{
// Create an empty MainMenu.
MainMenu mainMenu1 = new MainMenu();
MenuItem menuItem1 = new MenuItem();
MenuItem menuItem2 = new MenuItem();
menuItem1.Text = "File";
menuItem2.Text = "Edit";
// Add two MenuItem objects to the MainMenu.
mainMenu1.MenuItems.Add(menuItem1);
mainMenu1.MenuItems.Add(menuItem2);
// Bind the MainMenu to Form1.
Menu = mainMenu1;
}
void CreateMyMainMenu()
{
// Create an empty MainMenu.
MainMenu^ mainMenu1 = gcnew MainMenu;
MenuItem^ menuItem1 = gcnew MenuItem;
MenuItem^ menuItem2 = gcnew MenuItem;
menuItem1->Text = "File";
menuItem2->Text = "Edit";
// Add two MenuItem objects to the MainMenu.
mainMenu1->MenuItems->Add( menuItem1 );
mainMenu1->MenuItems->Add( menuItem2 );
// Bind the MainMenu to Form1.
Menu = mainMenu1;
