custom menustrip in C#

[sreelakshmi]

Hi,

I am looking at a problem where i need to create a menu in which the
child-items (the items in the dropdown) do not have the area for icons/
images.
If you look at an xp-style menu(in a word document) or the default
working of the class System.Windows.Forms.Menustrip, the menu
dropdown has a blue area where icons can be displayed. I am looking at
a way of making this blue strip white in color so that it blends into
the dropdown area.

Can someone tell me how this can be done? this is default menu
behavior for IE & explorer in XP.

Thanks

Right click on the toolbar and clikc choose items. Add the MainMenu item to
the toolbar from System.Windows.Forms in the GAC. This is the old 1.1
framework style control which gives IE6 style menus.
