How to perform menu merging operation between docking windows in MDI child form and the main form in WinForms Docking Manager?
Merging operation between two docking windows
For doing this the XPMenu has to be hosted on a main form. The ChildFrameBarManager and other menu components in the docking window has to be merged with the main form's menus after a state transition into MDI child form. then they have to be registered with the main form's MainFrameBarManager to perform menu merging. Please refer the below code snippet which illustrates this:
C#
this.mainFrameBarManager1.RegisterMdiChildTypes(new Type[] { typeof(Form2) });
VB
Me.MainFrameBarManager1.RegisterMdiChildTypes(New Type() {GetType(Form2)})
