[IronPython] Groping in the dark

[Chris Stoy]

I believe MainMenu and MenuItem are the .NET 1.1 way of doing menus,
while MenuStrip and ToolStripMenuItem are the .NET 2.0 ways.  However, I
would think they both should still work (even though you should use .NET
2.0 unless you have a reason not to.)

 

Chris.

	---------------------------
	import clr
	clr.AddReference("System.Windows.Forms")
	
	from System.Windows.Forms import (
	    Application, DockStyle, Form, Keys, MenuStrip,
ToolStripMenuItem,
	ToolStripSeparator
	)


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: 

http://www.devsource.com/article2/0,1895,1989493,00.asp

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.  :-) 

Thanks again.
