is ther a way to keep ToolStripMenuIt em always shown ??

1 New Member
Hi ,

I have MenuStrip in a form and i've add a ToolStripMenuIt em called toolStripMenuIt emRoot.

I want the items of this toolStripMenuIt emRoot to always shown.

At the beggining it's ok in the Form_Shown event i've placed:


toolStripMenuIt emRoot.ShowDrop Down();


i've been able to delegate the DropDownClosed event and in it i've

placed:



toolStripMenuIt emRoot.ShowDrop Down();



but if i click on the form the drop down items desapear and the toolStripMenuIt emRoot.ShowDrop Down(); cal does nothing.



calling this toolStripMenuIt emRoot.ShowDrop Down(); using a button works ok.



why?



the main goal is to keep the DropDown list always visable

please assist.

I have a menu structure that formats that left aligns string1 and right aligns string2. To do this, I use the OwnerDraw, Popup, DrawItem and MeasureItem properties or events of the MenuItem class. None of these exist for the ToolStripMenuItem. Can someone point me to a Web reference that explains how to emulate the functionality of these properties and events in the ToolStripMenuItem. I can't find any useful references for this task. ...

I have a ToolStrip item which fires a function when clicked. The function will run to completion without any problems (if I set a breakpoint at the closing brace, no exception has been fired), but once it returns, I get a TargetParameterCountException in mscorlib. I cannot for the life of me figure out why and I'm hoping someone here might be able to help. Here is the relevant code (although I don't think it has any effect)

I need to show a custom control in the DropDown of a Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem (e.g., similar to the Font Color menu item in Word except that the control is specific to my application). I tried adding the control to Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem.DropDown.Controls but doing so raises a NotSupported exception. Are there any standard ToolStripItems and/or techniques for implementing this type of functionality? Thanks for any help!...

My application has a standard MenuStrip on top of the window and a ContextMenuStrip that pops up when the user clicks the right mouse button. I have defined a ToolStripMenuItem that I want to appear on both the MenuStrip and the ContextMenuStrip, but any attempt to do so makes the ToolStripMenuItem silently disappear from the other menu. See this little program:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
