I haven't been able to see the anomalies you mention -- perhaps the<br>
following sample will help.<br>
---------------------------<br>
import clr<br>
clr.AddReference("System.Windows.Forms")<br>
<br>
from System.Windows.Forms import (<br>
Application, DockStyle, Form, Keys, MenuStrip,
ToolStripMenuItem,<br>
ToolStripSeparator<br>
)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Thanks, William - that example helped a lot. It looks like the anomalies
are due to my using entirely different classes to build my menu. I got
the basic menu code from this article: <br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.devsource.com/article2/0,1895,1989493,00.asp">http://www.devsource.com/article2/0,1895,1989493,00.asp</a><br>
<br>
It uses MainMenu instead of MenuStrip, MenuItem instead of ToolStripMenuItem,
etc. So I guess there is more than one way to construct a menu and I
better look a bit more carefully at what I'm using to get the job done.
:-) <br>
<br>
Thanks again.<br clear=all>
