File Menu

[jokerx]

Thanks for the help

In my program I would like to have a drop down menu (like the one on internet explorer 'File', 'Edit', 'View') instead of having command buttons. How would i do this? Any help would be appreciated.

Also if i were to add the menu drop down how will this change my code? So instead of clicking the command button i will be selecting from a drop down list.. so instead of command1_click() it will be menu1_click() or something?

Thanks

Use the Menu Editor in VB when you are viewing the Form in design mode.
Is this what you meant?

Ok, no prob. To start bring up the Menu Editor and make sure your viewing
(in desing mode and not run more) the form that you want the menu to be
placed on..

I have attached a simple example of menus.

Just study the menu structure and how you use code in it.

This sample uses tree structure menus, shortcut keys and the underscores under letters of menu text (used for shortcuts also)

try that
