.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm Controls / January 2008'Label' in a MenuStrip
Hello, is it possible to get a 'Label' control equivalent into the MenuStrip? I tried to use disabled borderless TextBox instead of a ToolStripMenuItem (I don't mind the text being grey), which was alright except one thing: the BackColor of this control cannot be set to Transparent. As a result, it had another background colour that the rest of the MenuStrip. I am aware I can set whichever colour I want, but even if I set it to match the menu, on another system with a different Windows theme it would look ugly again... I'd like to avoid the disabled ToolStripMenuItem too, because it reacts to a mouse cursor hovering it (border around the item suggesting it should be doing something, but is disabled now). A labelled ComboBox control would be exactly what I need but I do not see any possibility of adding the label to the ComboBox control available in the MenuStrip. Any help would be much appreciated. Best regards, nvx Have you tried a ToolStripLabel? I know it isn't recommended, but it may work anyway. Of course if it does work, it opens the possibility of it not working in a future version. Another possibility is to do some of the drawing yourself. Maybe you could use a ToolStripTextBox with a custom renderer to fix the aspects of the drawing that you don't want. >Hello, >is it possible to get a 'Label' control equivalent into the MenuStrip?

It works, which is important now. It it fails to work later, there will be some other way of achieving this result for sure. It is only a label in a menu so even if it stopped working - no real harm done. Best regards, nvx > Have you tried a ToolStripLabel? I know it isn't recommended, but it > may work anyway.
