Is OwnerDraw possible with NotifyIcon

jm
There are properties for OwnerDraw on ContextMenu items. I know it
can be done with regular menus. I cannot find anyone doing it with
the systray icon contextmenu (notifyicon.) Is it possible to change
fonts, colors, etc. of a context menu item if it is a system tray
contextmenu?

Thank you.

jm,

The OwnerDraw property is on the MenuItem class, not the ContextMenu
class. Because of this, you should be able to draw any menu item that you
wish on the context menu that you attach to the notify icon.

Hope this helps.

Is it possible to change the appearance of text (color of fonts, etc.) in the systray with OwnerDraw like in "regular" context menus? I am having trouble doing it and was wondering if it was indeed possible. I know it can be done "regularly" (not in the system tray.) Thank you. I am using C#.

OK, maybe this is my opinion, maybe these are bugs. Given the folowing: I have a NotifyIcon on my Form, a Context menu associated with the NotifyIcon, and a MenuItem on the ContextMenu set as default. When the default MenuItem is clicked, there is code to no longer show the NotifyIcon. What I feel should happen is when I double-click the NotifyIcon in the system tray, it should perform the default menu item's Click event.

Hi All, Are ownerdraw buttons supported in C# ? I have an active X control which I would like to use in CSharp. Buttons have a style BS_OWNERDRAW, and to do custom drawing you have to handle WM_DRAWITEM message. It works greate in all languages except CSharp and VB.net.

I'm using OwnerDraw for some customization in my ListView - adding color to item backgrounds. I'm using the ListView specifically for it's OwnerDraw capability. I originally was using the CheckedListBox control but it has no OwnerDraw.

Hello Jason, Thanks for using Microsoft Newsgroup Support Service, my name is Ji Zhou and I will be working on this issue with you. I have tried to but cannot reproduce your issue on my side. From your codes, I think the logical is, every time the Timer's elapsed event fires, we call the Check_For_Version_Update() function. From the Check_For_Version_Update() function, we judge a condition statement, and determine whether to call...
