true if the ToolStripDropDown control automatically closes; otherwise, false. The default is true.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to toggle the value of the AutoClose property in response to a check box selection.
// This method toggles the value of the ToolStripDropDown
// control's AutoClose property.
private void autoCloseCheckBox_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.contextMenuStrip1.AutoClose ^= true;
}
' This method toggles the value of the ToolStripDropDown
' control's AutoClose property.
Private Sub autoCloseCheckBox_CheckedChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles autoCloseCheckBox.CheckedChanged
Me.contextMenuStrip1.AutoClose = Me.contextMenuStrip1.AutoClose Xor True
End Sub
Remarks
If you want a ToolStripDropDown that always stays open, set AutoClose to false.
Note
Consider handling the Closing event instead of setting the AutoClose property. Inspect the CloseReason field in your Closing handler to specify custom closing logic.
