Hi

I'm interested to know whether there is some scaleable way of managing menus and toolbars in an MDI application. I have found out about Command/Mediator design patterns recently, but haven't found a way to control the enabling/disabling of options in an MDi app.

I thought about having a base child form, with a standard interface of methods and deriving all my child form from it. But then got bogged down..

Any suggestions

    if you look at the infragistics netadvantage, the tools on toolbar and menu are actually the same object of difreent instants, so we could aleays refer to the root tool to access to all it's instant, using Collection and indexer.
