Элемент управления ToolBar (Windows Forms) ToolBar Control (Windows Forms)

Элемент управления ToolStrip заменяет элемент управления ToolBar и расширяет его функциональные возможности; однако при необходимости элемент управления ToolBar можно сохранить для обратной совместимости и использования в будущем. The ToolStrip control replaces and adds functionality to the ToolBar control; however, the ToolBar control is retained for both backward compatibility and future use, if you choose.

Элемент управления Windows Forms ToolBar используется в формах в качестве панели управления, на которой выводится ряд раскрывающихся меню и кнопок с растровыми изображениями, активирующих команды. The Windows Forms ToolBar control is used on forms as a control bar that displays a row of drop-down menus and bitmapped buttons that activate commands. То есть щелчок по кнопке на панели инструментов эквивалентен выбору команды в меню. Thus, clicking a toolbar button is equivalent to choosing a menu command. Для кнопок можно настроить режим поведения кнопок, раскрывающихся меню или разделителей. The buttons can be configured to appear and behave as push buttons, drop-down menus, or separators. Обычно на панели инструментов содержатся кнопки и меню, соответствующие элементам в структуре меню приложения, которые предоставляют быстрый доступ к наиболее часто используемым в приложении функциям и командам. Typically, a toolbar contains buttons and menus that correspond to items in an application’s menu structure, providing quick access to an application’s most frequently used functions and commands.

Свойство DropDownMenu элемента управления ToolBar принимает в качестве ссылки экземпляр класса ContextMenu. The ToolBar control’s DropDownMenu property takes an instance of the ContextMenu class as a reference. При использовании подобных кнопок на панели инструментов приложения будьте внимательны в выборе передаваемой ссылки, так как это свойство принимает любой объект, наследуемый от класса Menu. Carefully consider the reference you pass when implementing this sort of button on toolbars in your application, as the property will accept any object that inherits from the Menu class.

Walkthrough: Providing Standard Menu Items to a Form

You can provide a standard menu for your forms with the MenuStrip control.

This walkthrough demonstrates how to use a MenuStrip control to create a standard menu. The form also responds when a user selects a menu item. The following tasks are illustrated in this walkthrough:

Creating a Windows Forms project.

Creating a standard menu.

Creating a StatusStrip control.

Handling menu item selection.

When you are finished, you will have a form with a standard menu that displays menu item selections in a StatusStrip control.

To copy the code in this topic as a single listing, see How to: Provide Standard Menu Items to a Form.

Prerequisites

You’ll need Visual Studio to complete this walkthrough.

Create the project

In Visual Studio, create a Windows application project called StandardMenuForm (File > New > Project > Visual C# or Visual Basic > Classic Desktop > Windows Forms Application).

In the Windows Forms Designer, select the form.

Create a standard menu

The Windows Forms Designer can automatically populate a MenuStrip control with standard menu items.

From the Toolbox, drag a MenuStrip control onto your form.

Click the MenuStrip control’s designer actions glyph () and select Insert Standard Items.

The MenuStrip control is populated with the standard menu items.

Click the File menu item to see its default menu items and corresponding icons.

Create a StatusStrip control

Use the StatusStrip control to display status for your Windows Forms applications. In the current example, menu items selected by the user are displayed in a StatusStrip control.

From the Toolbox, drag a StatusStrip control onto your form.

The StatusStrip control automatically docks to the bottom of the form.

Click the StatusStrip control’s drop-down button and select StatusLabel to add a ToolStripStatusLabel control to the StatusStrip control.

Handle item selection

Handle the DropDownItemClicked event to respond when the user selects a menu item.

Click the File menu item that you created in the Creating a Standard Menu section.

In the Properties window, click Events.

The Windows Forms Designer generates an event handler for the DropDownItemClicked event.

Insert the following code into the event handler.

Insert the UpdateStatus utility method definition into the form.

Checkpoint -test your form

Press F5 to compile and run your form.

Click the File menu item to open the menu.

On the File menu, click one of the items to select it.

The StatusStrip control displays the selected item.

Next steps

In this walkthrough, you have created a form with a standard menu. You can use the ToolStrip family of controls for many other purposes:

Create shortcut menus for your controls with ContextMenuStrip. For more information, see ContextMenu Component Overview.

Create a multiple document interface (MDI) form with docking ToolStrip controls. For more information, see Walkthrough: Creating an MDI Form with Menu Merging and ToolStrip Controls.

Give your ToolStrip controls a professional appearance. For more information, see How to: Set the ToolStrip Renderer for an Application.
