Hi Bonnie!

i tell u how i had proceeded for this in vs-2005

1- made a blank new windows form. (ParentForm)
2- placed one toolstrip over this form.
3- deleted all the default buttons used to come with this toolstrip.
4- made the modifier of toolstrip to protected and as well as wen it didnt work as public too.

5- made an new inherited form based on (ParentForm)
6- tried to get the properties in property window but showing as readonly :(

now tell me had i done something worong ? and i want to access the properties of toolstrip in property window as other controls use to give if we create them in the same manner.

if u can explain me line by line plz do it.
