How to: Create a Professionally Styled ToolStrip Control
You can give your application’s xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip controls a professional appearance and behavior (look and feel) by writing your own class derived from the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripProfessionalRenderer type.
There is extensive support for this feature in [!INCLUDEvsprvs].
See Walkthrough: Creating a Professionally Styled ToolStrip Control.
Example
The following code example demonstrates how to use xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip controls to create a composite control that mimics the Navigation Pane provided by Microsoft® Outlook®.
[!code-csharpSystem.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.StackView#1] [!code-vbSystem.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.StackView#1]
Compiling the Code
This example requires:
- References to the System.Drawing and System.Windows.Forms assemblies.
For information about building this example from the command line for [!INCLUDEvbprvb] or [!INCLUDEcsprcs], see Building from the Command Line or Command-line Building With csc.exe. You can also build this example in [!INCLUDEvsprvs] by pasting the code into a new project. Also see Walkthrough: Creating a Professionally Styled ToolStrip Control.
