' This method handles the Closing event. The ToolStripDropDown ' control is not allowed to close unless the Done menu item ' is clicked or the Close method is called explicitly. ' The Done menu item is enabled only after both of the other ' menu items have been selected. Private Sub contextMenuStrip_Closing(sender As Object, e As ToolStripDropDownClosingEventArgs) Handles contextMenuStrip1.Closing If e.CloseReason <> ToolStripDropDownCloseReason.CloseCalled Then If subItem1ToolStripMenuItem.Checked AndAlso subItem2ToolStripMenuItem.Checked AndAlso doneToolStripMenuItem.Enabled Then ' Reset the state of menu items. subItem1ToolStripMenuItem.Checked = False subItem2ToolStripMenuItem.Checked = False doneToolStripMenuItem.Enabled = False ' Allow the ToolStripDropDown to close. ' Don't cancel the Close operation. e.Cancel = False Else ' Cancel the Close operation to keep the menu open. e.Cancel = True Me.toolStripStatusLabel1.Text = "Close canceled" End If End If End Sub
