insert radiobox in menu in forms

Question

Hey,
How can I insert radiobutton in Menu as Menu item. I use WinForms and there I see only few option to insert other controls, but no radio :/
Also it's impossible to drag it from Controls and drop in menu in Design View :/

Answer 1

That's probably because an actual "radio button" control as a menu item would be weird, when you can already show a menu item as "checked" using the "radio button style". See the MenuItem.RadioCheck property.

Answer 2

If you really do want to do this, create an owner drawn menu. This is pretty straightforward. Here's a tutorial:

As for drawing the radiobuttons, use the static functions of the ControlPaint class.
