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. |
| SaveSettings(Form) |
Saves settings for the given Form using the full name of the Form as the settings key. |
Events
| RendererChanged |
Occurs when the value of the Renderer property changes. |
