How do I program the context menu of an undo/redo toolbar button drop down
menu to behave like the vs.net undo where all previous menu items are
selected as the user moves the mouse pointer down the list?
Thanks,

Never mind, I figured it out.
Although I still do wonder how to get the item at the bottom of the dropdown
list that keeps track of how many items are selected.

Hi Dennis,
First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need to know how to get the last
item selected on a combo box to get the count of items selected. If there
is any misunderstandin g, please feel free to let me know.
I think we can use ComboBox.Select edIndex to get the current selected item.
Since the items before the selected one are all selected, the count equals
to SelectedIndex +1.
HTH.

I wanted to make sure that the all items in the list wouold be automatically
slected as they are in the undo dropdown button in vs.net. I believe that
can probably be done with the MenuItem.Select event.
The other issue was how to get the text at the bottom of the dropdown that
shows the count. I know how to get the count, what is a mistry is how to get
the centered text at the bottom of the dropdown.
Thanks,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
Could you let me know how you implement the undo button? Are you using a
context menu or a combo box?
As far as I know, a ComboBox does not support multiple selection. It means
that we cannot make all the above items selected when the bottom on is
clicked. We can only get the item selected using ComboBox.Select edItem. If
you need to get the text directly, use ComboBox.Select edText.
To get the text of the bottom item, use the following:
this.comboBox1. Items[this.comboBox1. Items.Count-1].ToString();
HTH.

Hello,
I've tried to find information about how to implement an Undo/Redo pattern.
This article describes such a pattern:
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/PcObjectUndo.asp , but is a little bit to
narrow, since it only can handle 1 object, and since it only works on
properties.
What if you , in an application, have more than 1 object , and you want to
use undo/redo on them?

Hi,
I'm looking of a way (preferred - a ready class or dll) to customize
the context menu.
many application has more controls inside the context menu (like
textbox, sliders, checkbox, panel etc').
is there a way making this without writing my own context menu
(meaning, popup form or something) ?
Please don't post commercial products to this topic
thanks.
