Form inheritance theory.

[mikemilano]

I am working on an application which will have the same menu and tool bar in every form. Does this mean that I should design a 'template' form which has only the menu and tool bar. Then, each new form ( including the main form ) will inherit this template form?

Yes, this is one way to do it. :)

Using MDI Forms is actually much better and easier. Nice features include menu merging :) The toolbar then belong to the parent. leppie::AllocCPArticle(Generic DFA State Machine for .NET);
