Wish for VB7

[Roger Spitzer]

I reaaly would like to see an improved menu handiling within VB7. The todays
VB menus are hard to handle and if you want a little bit more than the
standard (like bitmaps in menus etc.), only API helps you out.

Yes it'd be good to see support for bitmaps in menus and even better would
be support to have associated text displayed in a
status bar without having to rely on third party controls or using subclassing.

Can it really be so difficult to give us a mouse over event for a menu item?

A good hierarchical menu editor would be nice. Lots of drag and drop, and
maybe the ability to save menu templates (including code) which can be re-used.
All this indenting crap drives me nuts.

Have MS adopted a policy of forcing us to write our own add-ins to make up
for deficiencies in the UI. Let's hear them announce that at VBits!!! :-)

I would like so see the possibility to expose any kind of form from an
ActiveX dll (including MDI Child forms).
