contextmenu and contextmenustrip

[Darin]

I understand microsoft's change from contextmenu to contextmenustrip -
the strip looks "prettier".

But, since the contextmenu isn't available in the designer, it suer woul
dhave been nice when updating a project from VS2003 to VS2005 that it
asked if you wanted to change all of the menus.

I now have hundreds (if not thousands) of menus that need to be changed
from contextmenu to contextmenustrip. Is there an option/program
somewhere that will change these, or do i have to do all of my menus in
my programs manually?

Hello Darin,


When MS favors a newer control like the datagrid control that is now
favored by the datagridview control it means only that it is standard placed
in the Toolbox
even with the newest version of VS Teamsystem 2008 the one that is released
only a few days ago i am still able to add the datagrid to my toolbox and
surprise surpsise i also see there a control named contextmenu . so it sure
is there although it is not "standard" annymore in the toolbox

Click with the right mousebutton on the toolbox and choose add item , as
thsi si the first time you are probably going to do this you have to be a
bit patient as this might take a while now ,,,,,,,,, Now in the list that is
generated select the required controls and ready you are
