Is it possible to carry a menustrip from one form to the next?

My project has a very extensive menustrip, and i prefer not to copy all the code for each form.

Is there an easy possibility to this? Or, is it possible at all?

Not very clear but sounds like making menustrip a usercontrol should do. What say?

Yes. You can create the menu strip in code (put it in a static global class), and then add it to each form (probably in the form's constructor).

At that point, all you have to do is add event handlers for the menu items.

You can also create a base form class that contains the menustrip, and then derive new forms from that new base class. At that point, you don't have to add event handlers in each form if you're clever about your coding.
