Question

I have a menu with the following structure (simplified for illustration purposes):

Menu Bar  |--File  |   |--Save  |   |--Exit  |--Tools  |   |--Tool Category 1  |   |--Tool Category 2  |   |--Tool Category 3  |--Help      |--About 

I want to reconstruct this as follows:

Menu Bar  |--File  |   |--Save  |   |--Exit  |--Tool Category 1  |--Tool Category 2  |--Tool Category 3  |--Help      |--About 

However, in Visual Studio 2008 Pro it won’t let me drag these menu items other than reorganize them within the particular menu group they are already in. Is there a way for me to move them without completely rebuilding the menu bar? Note that there are actually many more menu items than those that I’ve shown.

Answer 1

I tried this and it worked:

1. Right click on the menu item you want to move
2. Select ‘Cut’ in the context menu
3. Right click on the menu strip where you want to move it
4. Select ‘Paste’ in the context menu

Hope it helps.
