The following code example demonstrates how to add three ToolStripMenuItem objects to a ContextMenuStrip. In addition it demonstrates setting the ContextMenuStrip property of the form.
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; public class Form1 : Form { private ContextMenuStrip contextMenuStrip1; private ToolStripMenuItem toolStripMenuItem1; private ToolStripMenuItem toolStripMenuItem2; private ToolStripMenuItem toolStripMenuItem3; private IContainer components; public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } [STAThread] static void Main() { Application.EnableVisualStyles(); Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false); Application.Run(new Form1()); } private void InitializeComponent() { this.components = new System.ComponentModel.Container(); this.contextMenuStrip1 = new System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenuStrip(this.components); this.toolStripMenuItem1 = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem(); this.toolStripMenuItem2 = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem(); this.toolStripMenuItem3 = new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem(); this.contextMenuStrip1.SuspendLayout(); this.SuspendLayout(); // // contextMenuStrip1 // this.contextMenuStrip1.Items.AddRange(new System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem[] { this.toolStripMenuItem1, this.toolStripMenuItem2, this.toolStripMenuItem3}); this.contextMenuStrip1.Name = "contextMenuStrip1"; this.contextMenuStrip1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(180, 70); // // toolStripMenuItem1 // this.toolStripMenuItem1.Name = "toolStripMenuItem1"; this.toolStripMenuItem1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(179, 22); this.toolStripMenuItem1.Text = "toolStripMenuItem1"; // // toolStripMenuItem2 // this.toolStripMenuItem2.Name = "toolStripMenuItem2"; this.toolStripMenuItem2.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(179, 22); this.toolStripMenuItem2.Text = "toolStripMenuItem2"; // // toolStripMenuItem3 // this.toolStripMenuItem3.Name = "toolStripMenuItem3"; this.toolStripMenuItem3.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(179, 22); this.toolStripMenuItem3.Text = "toolStripMenuItem3"; // // Form1 // this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(292, 273); this.ContextMenuStrip = this.contextMenuStrip1; this.Name = "Form1"; this.contextMenuStrip1.ResumeLayout(false); this.ResumeLayout(false); } }
