How can i add a menu and make it to appear on all forms within that project? I remember that 2 years ago i was able to do this with VB6 however with VB 2010 i am unable to do this currently.
Right now i added a Menu Strip on all my forms by copy-paste however i want to find a better solution so that when i add a new menu item all the menus on all forms update.
I hope someone can help!
You can do it on two ways.
1. you create a MDI form with a menustrip and add all your forms as MDI childs
2. You create 1 form with a menustrip and inherit all your forms from this form.
so assuming you have created a form named "BaseForm" with a menustrip
then all your forms would be like:
Public Class SubForm
Inherits BaseForm
End Class
Ok if i use your way i get an error however:
Error 1 Base class 'BaseForm' specified for class 'frmAfternoon6pm' cannot be different from the base class 'System.Windows.Forms.Form' of one of its other partial types. C:\Users\Constantinos\Desktop\Psychological State Tracker\moodtracker\Psychological State Tracker\frmAfternoon6pm.vb 5 14 Psychological Mood Tracker
Of course the BaseClass have to be inherit from System.Windows.Forms.Form
So:
Public Class BaseClass
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
End Class
Thanks for the help, it now works perfectly!
