How to: Set the ToolStrip Renderer for an Application

You can customize the appearance of your xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip controls individually or for all the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip controls in your application.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to selectively apply a custom renderer to a xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip control and a xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuStrip control.

To use this code example, compile and run the application, and then select the scope of the custom rending from the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox control. Click Apply to set the renderer.

To see custom menu item rendering, select the xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuStrip option from the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox control, click Apply, and then open the File menu item.

[!code-csharpSystem.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.Misc#70] [!code-vbSystem.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.Misc#70]

Set the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripManager.Renderer%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType property to apply a custom renderer to all the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip controls in your application.

Set the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip.Renderer%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType property to apply a custom renderer to an individual xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip control.

Compiling the Code

This example requires:

  • References to the System.Design, System.Drawing, and System.Windows.Forms assemblies.
