Child windows do not have frames to add menus on. Main menus go on your main frame window. You can modify your menus according to which child window is active.

The traditional way of having child specific menus in an MDI application is to modify the parent or main frame window's menu.

One strategy is to create the menu with the items you want on it when you create the child (say as a member of the child) and when it gets focus you append it to the main window's menu.
