Menus in MDI Application

Menus that appear on the menu bar. Context menus, which appear when the right mouse button is clicked.

Menus that appear on the menu bar


Are created using the MenuStrip object, which is a collection of MenuItem objects that are used to add individual menu items to the menu bar. Can be added either at the design time or at run time.

Context Menus
Contain the most frequently used menu options. That will appear by clicking the right button of a mouse. Can be added to a form either at design time or at run time

Toolbar
Is a graphical alternative to a menu. Contains buttons that provide quick access to the most frequently used options in an application. Can be created in a Windows application by adding the ToolStrip control to a Windows Form.

StatusBar
Is typically displayed at the bottom of an application window and is used to display information about the current state of the application. Has panels that can display individual pieces of information. However, you need to set the ShowPanels property of the StatusStrip control to true to use multiple panels in the status bar. Can also contain text to display informative messages, such as the use of the displayed form in an MDI application.
