Hello all,
I am currently attempting to implement a custom menu strip, which instead of drawing it's menu items with a tendency to be underneath the menu heading, instead prefers to draw them directly above
eg instead of
_________________
|menuitem|
----|---------|--
| item 1 |
| item 1 |
| item 1 |
-----------
we get
___________
| item 1 |
| item 1 |
| item 1 |
-----------------
|menuitem|
-----------------
I've gotten as far as creating a custom component and inheriting menustrip.
But I'm stuck at what 'draw' routine to override to change the menu layout.
I can find plenty of information to make the menu any gaudy colour gradient I like, but nothing much about repositioning the menu.
Help please!
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the menu strip behaves the way I wish, if it is docked to the bottom of a form,
however, I need the control to operate in this manner even if it isn't docked (ie free floating)
