MDIForm Problem

It you have used MDIForms you should know that if you have a menu on
the parent form and one on the child form, when the child form is
loaded it replases the menu on the parent form with its own.

I am wanting to make it do that with not only the menu but also the
toolbar which I have on both forms.

Anyone got any idea how I can do this?

Yes.

Add the child-specific menus to the child forms (not the main form.)  The
main form typically has File and Help (with the rest appearing in as child
forms are activated in the MDI.)  Toolbars are hidden and shown manually in
the GotFocus event of each child.

Ok, I have no problems with the menus, they are working fine. I am
wanting to know if it is possible to get the toolbars working like the
menus so I dont need to have more that one toolbar on the main form as
it will make things more complicated since I am having more than one
instanse of a form loaded.
