- This set of files demonstrates a technique for embedding one VB form inside
- another, and with special reference to embedding so that one form's menu looks
- and works like a control for the embedding form. This includes keyboard
- handling to simulate menu access keys for the form that does not have the focus.
- This technique allows you to escape the convention (or, as the writer saw it,
- the limitation) of having menu bars ONLY at the top of a form under the title
- bar. It can allow quick selection of preferences or other functions without
- the need to pop up a separate dialog box. Other uses . . . well, that's up to
- you; there are lots of possibilities.
- Executable and all Visual Basic source files are included in a zipped
- directory. Install wherever you wish; there are no custom controls needed for
- this demo.
- In addition, the files include a 3D effect for the controls on the form.
