I seem to be caught between the vs2008 settings wizard and the ToolStripManager. Here is what I want to do... During development I locate about seven toolbars each in one of three toolstrippanels in a layout that is easy for the user. Those settings are recorded in the user.config in my development folder. The ToolStripManager reads ...
Title says it all. I want the ToolStrips to remain on one row, and for the user to be able to rearrange on that row but not create additional rows. I tried using SetBounds on the LocationChanged event, if the user attempted to change the Y position it just sprung right back. However, this created some visual bugs, such as the mouse alway...
Out of the box, there doesn't appear to be any built-in support for allowing your end-users to undock the ToolStrips in your applications from their parent ToolStripPanels. Clearly it's possible because even your Visual Studio IDE allows you to undock/tear-off/float your tool strips, it's just isn't possible with the default behavior of...
I have a Windows Forms ToolStripSplitButton which shows only an icon. I have added some ToolStripMenuItems and I have set their DisplayStyle to ToolStripItemDisplayStyle.Image. The drop down display the area for text (but it's blank), and the image to the left of the empty text area. Is there a way to get rid of the text area so it on...

I was wondering if SO could help simplify some logic. I have a windows form (C# 2.0) which contains a System.Windows.Forms.MenuStrip. I want to dynamically add ToolStripMenueItems to the MenuStrip. The added items will be driven off of a database (but for simplicity I have removed that part from the code below). I would like to be ...
I have a form with a statusbar that has 2 ToolStripStatusLabels followed by a ToolStripProgressBar. I want the progressbar to be always anchored to the right of the statusbar - so when the windows is resized/maximized, it should automatically move/repaint. I thought this would be as simple as setting the 1st (left aligned) ToolStripStatu...
Hi, have Googled and cannot find out how to make a ToolStripSeparator "draw" an horizontal line in a toolbar that is aligned vertical. The separator is drawn vertically which makes it awful. Eg. * - item * * | <- separator * * when it should be * * - <- separator * * ...
I need to display a toolstrip directly beneath a menustrip in my application, but setting RenderMode = Professional for each does not give identical results. They both show a background gradient, but not the same one. Is there some way to use menustrip rendering for the toolstrip, or vice versa? Or can someone advise how best to impleme...
I like the ToolStripProfessionalRenderer style quite a lot, but I do not like the way it renders a ToolStripTextBox. Here, ToolStripSystemRenderer does a better job IMO. Now is there a way to combine both renderers' behaviour to use system style for text boxes and pro style for everything else? I have successfully managed to use pro styl...

I found that while trying to find the owning toolstrip of an item, it wasn't a easy as just looking at the owner of the item. Below is some pseudo code that I think should work. Can anyone see any problems with this or should it work in all cases? (1) Is type of Item.Owner a ToolStrip? (2) Yes, Return Item.Owner (3) No, Item = Item.Ow...

So I have a project where there is some automatic initialization going on through some classes that are created automatically as global variables (yeah they are static instances). At a point inside this (it has no relation with the C# GUI for the user, so it isn't derived from any C# class) I need to see if a flag is set or not. I use ...
I have a maximized Form with a ToolStrip docked to the right border. Its Padding is set to 0. According to Fitt's Law, it would be nice if the user was able to click the ToolStripButtons at the screen edge. However, the rightmost pixel is not clickable, my button reacts only when I move the cursor one pixel to the left. So how can I fix ...
