Adding Menus and Sub Menus in an Application
Traditionally, the Menu, MainMenu, ContextMenu, and MenuItem classes were used for adding
menus, sub-menus and context menus in a Windows application.
Now,the MenuStrip,the ToolStripMenuItem, ToolStripDropDown and ToolStripDropDownM
enucontrols replace and add functionality to the Menu related controls of previous versions.
However, the old control classes are retained for both backward compatibility and future use.
Let us create a typical windows main menu bar and sub menus using the old versions controls first.
Since these controls are still much used in old applications.
Following is an example which shows how we create a menu bar with menu items: File, Edit, View
and Project. The File menu has the sub menus New, Open and Save.
