This article was previously published under Q239943 SYMPTOMS
When a usercontrol has any top level menus where the NegotiateMenus property is non-zero, resources drain slowly when the focus is set to and from the usercontrol. The problem occurs in both the Visual Basic Design Environment (IDE) and as an EXE.
CAUSE
Visual Basic destroys the UserControl's main menu, but does not destroy all of the submenus under the main menu when the UserControl loses input focus.
