The below snippet does not work...anyone know how to reference the
procedure 'DrawCross()'?



Private Sub MarkVORToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As
System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
MarkVORToolStripMenuItem.Click
If ContextMenuStrip1.SourceControl.BackgroundImage Is
DrawCross() Then
msgbocx("test")
End If
End Sub


Friend Function DrawCross() As Bitmap
Dim sampleBitmap As New Bitmap(32, 32)
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(sampleBitmap)
Dim p As New Pen(ProfessionalColors.ButtonPressedBorder)
p.Color = Color.Red
Try
p.Width = 2
g.DrawLine(p, -35, 65, 80, -45)
g.DrawLine(p, 200, 200, 0, 0)
Finally
p.Dispose()
End Try
Return sampleBitmap
End Function

Every time you call DrawCross(), you're generating a new instance of a
bitmap. That will never be the same instance you assigned to the
BackgroundImage.

The "is" operator is not a bitmap comparison operator. (Unless you were to
overload it.)

How about making your own extended MyContextMenuStrip inherits from
ContextMenuStrip and has a String property you can set to change the
BackgroundImage? (My nomenclature may be wrong.)

[Please bottom-post in this newsgroup.]

You'll have to wait for someone who knows about ContextMenuStrip as it isn't
in the VS2003/.NET1.1 I have. And anyway, I have to admit to only knowing
the principle of this Inherits thing; I've never needed to use it, other
than what VS sticks in the code for me.

Ahhhhhhhh ... It all becomes clear. Bottom-posting is for those who suffer
