Prevent toolstripborder form being rendered

Hi,

I've got a toolstrip and I don't want to render its border. How can I do this? (Maybe render an 'empty' border)

Hello Ralf Euser,

You can play with ToolStripRenderer's ColorTable in order to accomplish your goal.Setting it's ToolStripBorder border color property to needed color..
It could look like:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
toolStrip1.Renderer = new ToolStripProfessionalRenderer(new BorderlessProfessionalColorTable());
}
}

public class BorderlessProfessionalColorTable
: ProfessionalColorTable
{
public override Color ToolStripBorder
{
get { return Color.Transparent; }
}
}

Regards,
Oleh.

Thnx. And if I also want to prevent the RoundedEdges option to be on?

Hello Ralf Euser,

There is a RoundedEdges property which controls edge styles.
You could update it after constructing custom renderer, like

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
ToolStripProfessionalRenderer renderer = new ToolStripProfessionalRenderer(new BorderlessProfessionalColorTable());

renderer.RoundEdges = false;

toolStrip1.Renderer = renderer;

}
}

public class BorderlessProfessionalColorTable
: ProfessionalColorTable
{
public override Color ToolStripBorder
{
get { return Color.Transparent; }
}
}

or update it in constructor, like

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
toolStrip1.Renderer = new ToolStripProfessionalRenderer(new BorderlessProfessionalColorTable());
}
}

public class BorderlessProfessionalColorTable
: ProfessionalColorTable
{

public BorderlessProfessionalColorTable()

: base()

{

this.RoundEdges = false;

}

public override Color ToolStripBorder
{
get { return Color.Transparent; }
}
}

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Oleh.
