Great questions, here are answers:
1. Font color:
There is a bug that got fixed yesterday where ForeColor wasn't being respected so it won't appear in the CTP builds for a while. Until you see that changed you need to override the Pro Renderer's OnRenderItemText() and set e.TextColor like so:
| |
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent(); ToolStripProfessionalRenderer tsp = new MyToolStripProfessionalRenderer();
ToolStripManager.Renderer = tsp;
} } class MyToolStripProfessionalRenderer: ToolStripProfessionalRenderer
{
protected override void OnRenderItemText(ToolStripItemTextRenderEventArgs e)
{
e.TextColor = Color.HotPink;
base.OnRenderItemText(e);
} }
|
after that, you'll just be able to set ForeColor.
2. MultiSelect ContextMenuStrip
Sync the closing (cancellable) event - check closereason and don't respect itemclicked, by returning true.

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent(); ContextMenuStrip cms = new ContextMenuStrip();
cms.Items.Add("Apples");
cms.Items.Add("Bananas");
cms.Items.Add("Cherries"); cms.Closing += cms_Closing;
this.ContextMenuStrip = cms; foreach (ToolStripMenuItem tsmi in cms.Items)
{
tsmi.CheckOnClick = true;
} } void cms_Closing(object sender, ToolStripDropDownClosingEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CloseReason == ToolStripDropDownCloseReason.ItemClicked)
{
// could also check for specific "Ok" item in e.Item
e.Cancel = true;
}
}
