Hi @Mansour_Dalir ,

To use the example, you can refer to the following steps.

Create a class called ToolStripMonthCalendar and paste the code from the example.
Place a ToolStrip control in the form, and then use the following code to create a ToolStripMonthCalendar instance and add it to the ToolStrip container.

        Dim testtoolstrip As ToolStripMonthCalendar = New ToolStripMonthCalendar()
        ToolStrip1.Items.Add(testtoolstrip)

Best Regards.

Hi Jiachen Li-MSFT. I wish you good health.

May your life be full of happiness. After this example, can I have a custom menu (right click to show the menu) with a list box, check box, etc.?

Hi @Mansour_Dalir .

ToolStripControlHost is a special control for adding custom controls to a ToolStrip (toolbar). The right-click menu is ContextMenuStrip, you can add ContextMenuStrip on top of the custom control in ToolStripControlHost.

Let's leave the right click aside (I don't know the terms and I choose wrongly). I want to know the form that has the list box (for filtering in the photo I posted) will appear, right?

Thank

Hi @Mansour_Dalir ,

Yes, you can add a listbox to ToolStrip directly using the following code.

        Dim listBox1 As New ListBox()
        listBox1.Items.Add("A")
        listBox1.Items.Add("B")

        Dim dropDownButton As New ToolStripDropDownButton("Items")

        Dim host As New ToolStripControlHost(listBox1)

        dropDownButton.DropDown = New ToolStripDropDown()
        dropDownButton.DropDown.Items.Add(host)

        ToolStrip1.Items.Add(dropDownButton)
