MenuStrip's MdiWindowListItem

[nebulom]

More or less we do set our windowToolStripItem for this. Now, if all the MdiChilren are closed, why is it that there's a separator on the sub item of out window ToolStripItem? Is there any other property I should set for this? Something I missed or bug?

Thanks.

Bump?

That would appear to be a bit of a bug. You could work around that by only having the MdiWindowListItem set if there is at least one child showing. I wrote the code in VB by accident but you should be able to get the idea and implement it yourself in C#.

Private Sub ToolStripButton1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton1.Click
    Dim f As New Form
 
    f.Text = "Child " & (Me.MdiChildren.Length + 1)
    Me.ShowMdiChildForm(f)
End Sub
 
Private Sub ShowMdiChildForm(ByVal f As Form)
    'There is at least one child form.
    Me.MenuStrip1.MdiWindowListItem = Me.WindowToolStripMenuItem
 
    f.MdiParent = Me
    AddHandler f.FormClosed, AddressOf Child_FormClosed
    f.Show()
End Sub
 
Private Sub Child_FormClosed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosedEventArgs)
    If Me.MdiChildren.Length = 1 Then
        'This is the last child form.
        Me.MenuStrip1.MdiWindowListItem = Nothing
    End If
End Sub

So it's a hack. Thanks JM, will look at it.

So it's a hack.

It's a workaround!
