Toolstrip and MDI application

Toolstrip and MDI application

I am trying to get write an MDI application running using the ToolStrip
control(s).

I have the application running with types of two form. Each form represents
a type of document. Each has its own custom menus and toolbars. The MDI
application runs up and I create new documents of each type. When a form is
activated, dot net merges the menus and the app I merge in the toolbars
using RevertMerge and Merge.

One of my forms has about 6 toolbars, the other has 2. When I switch between
the two document type, the toolbars change position; I activate form1, move
the toolbars using the mouse, activate form2, then switch back to form1- the
toolbars have moved.

I am also having problems saving and restoring the positions of the toolbars
using ToolStripManager.LoadSettings and ToolStripManager.SaveSettings. This
showing the same behaviour (although it may be caused simply by switching
between the windows).

Has anyone successfully implemented an MDI app using these controls?

I have a test app if anyone would like to see it - where the best place to
post it?
