Creating clonable toolstrip menu items

Here's the code for ToolStripMenuItem.Clone. An alternate solution is to implement IBindableComponent and databind your menu item to a Command which drives the Text/Image/Enabled/Available properties.

 

 public class ClonableToolStripMenuItem : ToolStripMenuItem {
public ClonableToolStripMenuItem() {
}

        internal ToolStripMenuItem Clone() {

            // dirt simple clone - just properties, no subitems

            ClonableToolStripMenuItem menuItem = new ClonableToolStripMenuItem();
menuItem.Events.AddHandlers(this.Events);

            menuItem.AccessibleName = this.AccessibleName;
menuItem.AccessibleRole = this.AccessibleRole;
menuItem.Alignment = this.Alignment;
menuItem.AllowDrop = this.AllowDrop;
menuItem.Anchor = this.Anchor;
menuItem.AutoSize = this.AutoSize;
menuItem.AutoToolTip = this.AutoToolTip;
menuItem.BackColor = this.BackColor;
menuItem.BackgroundImage = this.BackgroundImage;
menuItem.BackgroundImageLayout = this.BackgroundImageLayout;
menuItem.Checked = this.Checked;
menuItem.CheckOnClick = this.CheckOnClick;
menuItem.CheckState = this.CheckState;
menuItem.DisplayStyle = this.DisplayStyle;
menuItem.Dock = this.Dock;
menuItem.DoubleClickEnabled = this.DoubleClickEnabled;
menuItem.Enabled = this.Enabled;
menuItem.Font = this.Font;
menuItem.ForeColor = this.ForeColor;
menuItem.Image = this.Image;
menuItem.ImageAlign = this.ImageAlign;
menuItem.ImageScaling = this.ImageScaling;
menuItem.ImageTransparentColor = this.ImageTransparentColor;
menuItem.Margin = this.Margin;
menuItem.MergeAction = this.MergeAction;
menuItem.MergeIndex = this.MergeIndex;
menuItem.Name = this.Name;
menuItem.Overflow = this.Overflow;
menuItem.Padding = this.Padding;
menuItem.RightToLeft = this.RightToLeft;

            menuItem.ShortcutKeys = this.ShortcutKeys;
menuItem.ShowShortcutKeys = this.ShowShortcutKeys;
menuItem.Tag = this.Tag;
menuItem.Text = this.Text;
menuItem.TextAlign = this.TextAlign;
menuItem.TextDirection = this.TextDirection;
menuItem.TextImageRelation = this.TextImageRelation;
menuItem.ToolTipText = this.ToolTipText;

            menuItem.Available = this.Available;

            if (!AutoSize) {
menuItem.Size = this.Size;
}
return menuItem;
}

    }
