The Child Form that is TopMost will have it's Menu Displayed.  If there is
no Menu for that particular Child (including hidden POpUp ones), then the
Main Menu on the MDI will disappear.

hi,

   Thanks for the suggestion. You told me to have menus on all child forms
so that the menu will appear in the MDIForm. But what will happen if two
child forms are opened?

Thanks,

  It can't be done at all.  This is the limitation of MDI applications.  You
  will probably need a 3rd party control like InfraGistics ActiveToolbars.
  The other thing to do is to make sure that the Main Menu is implemented in
  every Child form (what a Pain) so that when the Child Form opens, it's
Menu
  then becomes the Main Menu and it will still have it's PopUp Menu.

  hi,

      I am having an MDI Form and a child form in my project. And Both 
  Forms has menus in it, but the child form's menu is made invisible so as 
  to show as a context menu, when the user right-clicks on a listview 
  control.

     Now, the problem is, whenever the child form is loaded, the MDI 
  Form's menu doesn't shows up. I tried giving various Negotiate Positions 
  in the child's menu, but still I am unable to bring the MDIForm's 
  menu....

      What should I do to get that working?

  Thanks,
