The notorious and famous ToolStripMenuItem class. Although it looks great in a strip it does not always behave like you think it should. It has somewhat a mind of it’s own<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The annoying thing with this class is that even when the ToolStripMenuItem is disabled, it still light’s up when you hover your mouse over it. I searched high and low and was affraid I had to pull of some black magic to get it to behave to my whishes but fortunately there is an easier (and much prettier) way:<\/p>\n

[csharp]public class ProperMenuItem : ToolStripMenuItem
\n{
\n public ProperMenuItem(string text, Image image, EventHandler onClick)
\n : this(text, image, onClick, null)
\n {
\n }<\/p>\n

public ProperMenuItem(string text, Image image, EventHandler onClick, Keys shortcutKeys)
\n : base(text, image, onClick, shortcutKeys)
\n {
\n }<\/p>\n

public override bool CanSelect
\n {
\n \/\/ without this line the items still receive
\n \/\/ focus even though they are clearly disabled
\n get { return this.Enabled; }
\n }
\n}[\/csharp]<\/p>\n

I assumed more people must have wandered into this but all I found was a lone cry for help<\/a> without any responses. So I wrestled with this class for a few hours (yes, pathetic, I know) and finally (by trial and error really) found an acceptable solution.<\/p>\n
