hi ng,

I actually want to program an application whose main window contains a
menu strip and a tree view control. In the main menu there are items I
want to use for a context menu strip in the tree view but if I add a
menu item from the main menu strip to a context menu it disappears from

the main menu. Additionaly there's no (!) Clone-methode in the
ToolStripMenuItem class, so I can't just copy the menu item at runtime.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks,
Steffen

A Control an only belong to the Controls Collection of 1 other Control. So,
if you add a Control to another Control's Controls Collection, it is
automatically removed from the Controls Collection it was previously in. The
Solution is, of course, to use 2 MenuItems, one for the Main Menu, and one
for the Context Menu Strip.

This is, by definition, not that.

Thank you, but there's really no other way than copying the whole menu
items using the VS2005 designer? Why doesn't ToolStripMenuItem have a
Clone() methode?
