Hi,

I want to knw how to place the menus dynamically by using the menu strip.

 >I have a form with two split containers with Dock.<br />
>I want to add a menu strip in the second split container of panel1.<br />
>I set the menu strip dock to also but the menu strip docks above the split container at the run time.

How do I set the menu strip to dock at the correct place?

Here with the code :

this.menuStrip1 = new MenuStrip();
menuStrip1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(40, 200);

ToolStripMenuItem menu1 = new ToolStripMenuItem("File");
ToolStripMenuItem menuItem1 = new ToolStripMenuItem("Send SMS", null, m_Click);

menuStrip1.Items.Add(menu1);
menu1.DropDownItems.Add(menuItem1);

Controls.Add(menuStrip1);

Cheers,

            ToolStripMenuItem menuItem1 = new ToolStripMenuItem("Send SMS", null);
