well, normally im using menues for my main program, just one time i tryed a Form Menu, it was very good, Bottooms, Pictures, Sizes, etc, the problem I show that "New" version to my customer and they liked, now always i'm using READ EVENTS if not, some point in the application just don't work and it's just freezing the screen.

>If you application lends itself to this type of design, go for it. However, some users may not like not being able to do multiple things within your application at one time. However, like I said, if your application requires that they finish one task before starting another, it's great.
