 [RESOLVED] Manually close a menustrip dropdown
Hey all,
I have a menu strip with a bunch of nested drop down items and before the user is allowed to click any of the children, I need to run a validation routine. If that routine fails, the click should be aborted.
To do this I am trying to handle the MenuStrip.ItemClick event, and when it fires I call the validation method and if it fails I want to simply close the drop down to prevent any children from being clicked.
Does any one know how to manually close a menustrip drop down? Or suggest another way? I don't want to have to validate in the click event for each child... there are too many.

blarg!!!
Some times all one needs to do is ask a question to get the answer.
Solution....
Iterate the MenuStrip items collection and call the HideDropDown method for each.
