I have used toolstripdropdown in my Windows form to show list of buttons on click of another button.
var td = new ToolStripDropDown
{
AutoSize = true,
DropShadowEnabled = false,
BackColor = Color.Transparent,
Margin = Padding.Empty,
Padding = Padding.Empty
};
var host = new ToolStripControlHost(panel)
{
BackColor = Color.Transparent,
Margin = Padding.Empty,
Padding = Padding.Empty
};
td.Items.Add(host);
The panel contains list of buttons to be displayed. To show the panel to user, on button(Show) click following line is called.
td.Show(pointonScreen);
By default, AutoClose
is set to true. So whenever user clicks anywhere in the form, the toolstripdropdown is getting closed. This is ok.
My requirements:
- Click Show button
- Display the toolstripdropdown by calling td.show() and close the popup if
td.Visible
- Again click the Show button
- toolstripdrown should be closed
- Click anywhere in the form, toolstripdropdown should be closed if it is visible
What is happening now is, on step 3, before the button click event is raised, toolstripdropdown is getting closed. So again the dropdown is being displayed.
Is there any other way to achieve my requirements?
