MainMenu / AXIM X50 problem

[Jason Seaton]

Hello everyone,

I'm having difficulty with mainmenus on a Dell AXIM X50 running PPC 2003 SE,
using the same code that worked on previous devices correctly. After first
working around the SE toolbar not displaying issue, I noticed that a form
with a mainmenu and a toolbar began to not display the mainmenu anymore as
well, then eventually had no mainmenu object at all and was throwing a null
reference exception even though there was a menu assigned through the
designer.

This happened over time without making any direct code changes, so it
appears to be something with the designer and possibly InitComponent
ordering. I've tried opening on other workstations with the same result.
Has anyone else experienced this degenerative effect with mainmenus using SE?
Thanks!

Can you provide reproducible example?

Also just wondering:
are you sure that is null reference exception and not a
NotSupportedException? The NotSupportedExcpetion could be thrown because
you integrated nested menu inside one of your mainmenu items.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to create a reproducable example. My
customer needs this solved quickly and I want to use a Microsoft support call
to do so, but whenever I copy the screen to a new project the problem goes
away. It's definitely a null too.
