Examples

The following code example undoes the merging of menu items. This example is part of a larger example available in the ToolStripManager class overview.

        if (currentSample != value)

            {
                resetRequired = true;
            }
            currentSample = value;
            // Undo previous merge, if any.
            ToolStripManager.RevertMerge(cmsBase, cmsItemsToMerge);
            if (resetRequired)
            {
