The following code example demonstrates a call to ToolStripManager and some of its members.

toolStrip1->RenderMode = 
    ToolStripRenderMode::ManagerRenderMode;
ToolStripManager::Renderer = gcnew RedTextRenderer;

toolStrip1.RenderMode = ToolStripRenderMode.ManagerRenderMode;
ToolStripManager.Renderer = new RedTextRenderer();

toolStrip1.RenderMode = ToolStripRenderMode.ManagerRenderMode
ToolStripManager.Renderer = New RedTextRenderer()

Remarks

ToolStripManager supports ToolStrip-related tasks for entire applications, such as merging, settings, and renderer options. The overloaded Merge method combines ToolStrip controls with each other, and the overloaded RevertMerge method undoes a merge operation.

Use the ToolStripRenderer class with the ToolStripManager class to gain even more control and customizability over painting and layout style.

Properties

Renderer	Gets or sets the default painting styles for the form.
RenderMode	Gets or sets the default theme for the form.
VisualStylesEnabled	Gets or sets a value indicating whether a ToolStrip is rendered using visual style information called themes.

Methods

FindToolStrip(String)	Finds the specified ToolStrip or a type derived from ToolStrip.
IsShortcutDefined(Keys)	Retrieves a value indicating whether the specified shortcut key is used by any of the ToolStrip controls of a form.
IsValidShortcut(Keys)	Retrieves a value indicating whether a defined shortcut key is valid.
LoadSettings(Form, String)	Loads settings for the specified Form using the specified settings key.
LoadSettings(Form)	Loads settings for the given Form using the full name of the Form as the settings key.
Merge(ToolStrip, String)	Combines two ToolStrip objects of the same type.
Merge(ToolStrip, ToolStrip)	Combines two ToolStrip objects of different types.
RevertMerge(String)	Undoes a merging of two ToolStrip objects, returning the ToolStrip with the specified name to its state before the merge and nullifying all previous merge operations.
RevertMerge(ToolStrip, ToolStrip)	Undoes a merging of two ToolStrip objects, returning both ToolStrip controls to their state before the merge and nullifying all previous merge operations.
RevertMerge(ToolStrip)	Undoes a merging of two ToolStrip objects, returning the specified ToolStrip to its state before the merge and nullifying all previous merge operations.
SaveSettings(Form, String)	Saves settings for the specified Form using the specified settings key.
