How do I make MenuItems now show arrow image if it has submenu.
Hai all,
Somebody help me in this issue. I need to have a menu bar which is
RightToLeft aligned, which I can achieve by setting MainMenu's RightToLeft
property to "Yes". The problem that I get is, if one of MenuItems has
submenu...the arrow(or small triangle which indiates it has submenu) appears
in the left. I wanted to know when is this getting drawn. I want to trap
that and draw my own image to indicate that it has submenu. Below is the
code that I have written for DrawItem handler for each MenuItem. Any
help is greatly appreciated.....
Thanks,
Madhavi.
private void menuItem2_DrawItem(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs e)
{
// Rectangle rc = new Rectangle(e.Bounds.X+delta , e.Bounds.Y+delta, e.Bounds.Width-delta, e.Bounds.Height-delta);
System.Windows.Forms.Label lbl = new Label();
Rectangle rc = new Rectangle(e.Bounds.X, e.Bounds.Y, e.Bounds.Width, e.Bounds.Height);
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(204, 204, 204)) , rc);
//e.Graphics.
MenuItem s = (MenuItem)sender ;
string s1 = s.Text ;
StringFormat sf = new StringFormat();
sf.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center ;
sf.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center;
Rectangle rcText = rc ;
rcText.Width-=1 ;
rcText.Height -= 2;
//e.Graphics.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.LightGray)
e.Graphics.DrawString(s1 , new Font("Arial" ,9), new SolidBrush(Color.Black) , rcText, sf );
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(new Pen(new SolidBrush(Color.Gray)), rcText );
if ( e.State == ( DrawItemState.NoAccelerator | DrawItemState.HotLight) ||
e.State == ( DrawItemState.NoAccelerator | DrawItemState.Selected))
{
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(255,255,128)) , rcText);
e.Graphics.DrawString( s1 , new Font("Arial" , 9 ) , new SolidBrush(Color.Black), rcText,sf);
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(new Pen(new SolidBrush(Color.Gray)), rcText );
e.DrawFocusRectangle();
}
}
