Remarks

ToolStripDropDownItem is the abstract base class for ToolStripMenuItem, ToolStripDropDownButton, and ToolStripSplitButton, which can host items directly or host additional items in a drop-down container. You do this by setting the DropDown property to a ToolStripDropDown and setting the Items property of the ToolStripDropDown. Access these drop-down items directly through the DropDownItems property.
