Attributes

Examples

The following 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.

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;
}
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;   
}
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

Remarks

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.
