when dealing with mdi stuff put the menu items on the child form then call the sub on the child form and the menu item will be disabled on the mdi parent

thanks for your reply. sorry i couldn't understand. put the menu items means?. create menus in child form?. then how it will display menus in mdi form. can u please give me sample coding..

thank you very much

you make the child menus on the child form, vb takes care of showing the child menu on the parent menu (if the parent window also has a menu vb merges the two together)

i could make a quick example or something if needed

take a look at the attachment, the menu is on the child but the parent is calling the sub that's on the child form
