Hi, I was trying to use the above named method. My question is how to set the image in the (ToolStrip, String, EventHandler, Image, Boolean, Boolean) overload just when the item is selected like int he Bounding Box native component. My attempt so far with the use of the explanation from James Rams…

You have to subscribe to the event and change the image from that context. The sender is the object that triggers the event, so you can convert it to some type of the ToolStrip family and change the image with its Image property.

There’s no point assigning an image to a menu item from within the click event handler. The menu is about to be closed (or has already been closed) and all items will be discarded. You must assign the correct item image when you add the item to the menu.

Ouuh, true… then it would be like this, wouldn’t it? Bitmap img = myBool ? ToolTipTest.Properties.Resources.arcArrayIconNeu : null; Menu_AppendItem(menu, "Flip myBool", Menu_DoClick, img, false);

Yup, or you can just use the checked property of the menu to indicate on/off state, that is the default windows style. Using custom images is cool, but may also confuse people unless it’s very clear which image means what.

Works perfect! Muchas gracias Dani!

ps. a bit side question but how did you paste your code so it recognize commented text, add colours etc? I am refering to code in top post… which option did you use? Preformatted text? [image]
