    Custom Menus

    Is there anyway to get a control to be placed on a menu?


    What I want is to put a combox in a menuitem under the "File" menuitem in my app.

    Is it possible?

    Any suggestions or links would be great!

    Well, unfortunately, you can't just add a windows forms control to MainMenu, only mainmenuitems.

    So perhaps you can use the owner-draw option, and have the combobobx render to the graphics surface of the MenuItem.

    I'll warn you right now, I don't think you will easily accomplish this. You would be better off making your own menu... than twisting the MainMenu class of .Net to do this.
