Menu.CloneMenu Method

.NET Framework 4.5

Copies the Menu that is passed as a parameter to the current Menu.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)

member CloneMenu : 
        menuSrc:Menu -> unit

Parameters

menuSrc: Type: System.Windows.Forms.Menu
The Menu to copy.

Remarks

This method copies the entire list of MenuItem objects (stored in the Menu passed in to menuSrc) into the current menu. You can use this method in your derived class to clone MenuItem objects. They can then be reused by other classes that derive from Menu, such as MainMenu, ContextMenu, and MenuItem.

Examples

This example creates a main menu, mainMenu1, with three menu items: File, Edit, and View. It then uses the CloneMenu method to copy mainMenu1 into mainMenu2. The cloned menu is then assigned to the form and displayed. This program requires that you have already created a Form named Form1.
