MenuStrip Constructor
.NET Framework 4.5
Initializes a new instance of the MenuStrip class.
Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Use this constructor to create a MenuStrip to which you can add ToolStripMenuItem objects.
The following code example demonstrates the MenuStrip constructor. This example is part of a larger example provided for the ToolStripPanel class.
// Create a MenuStrip control with a new window. MenuStrip ms = new MenuStrip(); ToolStripMenuItem windowMenu = new ToolStripMenuItem("Window"); ToolStripMenuItem windowNewMenu = new ToolStripMenuItem("New", null, new EventHandler(windowNewMenu_Click)); windowMenu.DropDownItems.Add(windowNewMenu); ((ToolStripDropDownMenu)(windowMenu.DropDown)).ShowImageMargin = false; ((ToolStripDropDownMenu)(windowMenu.DropDown)).ShowCheckMargin = true; // Assign the ToolStripMenuItem that displays // the list of child forms. ms.MdiWindowListItem = windowMenu; // Add the window ToolStripMenuItem to the MenuStrip. ms.Items.Add(windowMenu); // Dock the MenuStrip to the top of the form. ms.Dock = DockStyle.Top; // The Form.MainMenuStrip property determines the merge target. this.MainMenuStrip = ms;
