Adding a horizontal separator in a MenuStrip

Question

I can't seem to find any way to add a horizontal separator in a MenuStrip. Visual Studio complains Cannot add ToolStropSeparator to MenuStrip.

Any idea's how I can do this?

Answer 1

I'm able to run code like this:

this.menuMain.Items.Add(new ToolStripSeparator());

without any trouble... What kind of error are you getting?

Answer 2

In the space between the two fields you want separated by the divider, type:

-

then hit enter (in the designer)

Answer 3

You can right-click the menustrip, then 'Insert' -> 'Separator'. That's all.

Answer 4

steps: 1. right click on contextmenuStrip items - > Insert -> Separator

OR

1. a) Click on (Type Text box for ContextMenuStrip) where you want to put the horizontal separator, then enter" - "(Minus sign) b) Enter hope this will find you useful :)

Answer 5

I like to do mine with - rather then a separator. So say i wanna make a horizontal separator i would do about 30 of them to create a horizontal dotted line with a length of 30. Then i would set its enabled property to false so it can't be clicked as for a vertical one. Just do | then your item for each item and you will notice it will create a vertical line matching up with each item. [Note] The vertical line will be dotted due to the spacing between each item.

Answer 6

It' so simple,

Right click on the Context menu strip icon. then Select insert and after select Separator |

Answer 7

There are no separators for menu strip items.

However;

You can select the item you want a space between, and set the left or right margin value. This works just as well.
