How to: Enable Check Margins and Image Margins in ContextMenuStrip Controls

You can customize the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem objects in your xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuStrip control with check marks and custom images.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to create menu items that have check marks and custom images.

[!code-csharpSystem.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.Misc#1] [!code-vbSystem.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.Misc#1]
[!code-csharpSystem.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.Misc#60] [!code-vbSystem.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.Misc#60]

Set the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDownMenu.ShowCheckMargin%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType and xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDownMenu.ShowImageMargin%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType properties to specify when check marks and custom images appear in your menu items.

Compiling the Code

This example requires:

  • References to the System.Design, 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 How to: Compile and Run a Complete Windows Forms Code Example Using Visual Studio.
