MIDI in .NET, using 2 forms...

[gmatteson]

i'm using vb.net with 2 forms.
one is the parent midi form and the other is a child form with a listview.

on the second form ihave a mainmenu bar on time with the menu
VIEW > SMALL ICON, DETAILS, LIST for the different views in the listview control...
now when the second form loads up in the parent midi, that VIEW menu appears on the parent form......

on the parent form i have a mainmenu bar with FILE, OPTIONS, WINDOWS, HELP

when the second form loads up i now have..

file, options windows, help, view

does anyone know how to move the VIEW between FILE and OPTIONS when the second form loads up and remove it when it closes?
thank you, appreciate it.

Go into the properties for the menu items on your MDI parent form and change the MergeOrder properties as follows:

file=0
options=2
windows=3
help=4

On your MDI child form change the MergeOrder property of View to 1.

All the menu items should have their MergeType property set to the default (Add).

Let me know if this works - seemed ok when I was playing with it just now.
