Property Value

If you want a ToolStripDropDown that always stays open, set AutoClose to false.

Note:
Consider handling the Closing event instead of setting the AutoClose property. Inspect the CloseReason field in your Closing handler to specify custom closing logic.

The following code example demonstrates how to toggle the value of the AutoClose property in response to a check box selection.
