Question
Simple question:
I can .Select
a ToolStripItem
(like, if i want a preselected option when opening a context menu strip) but i cannot seem to find a way to set .Selected
to false or somehow deselect it!
Is it possible?
Solution
There is private method ClearAllSelections in ToolStrip class, which removes selections from items. You can invoke it via reflection:
MethodInfo method = typeof(ToolStrip).GetMethod("ClearAllSelections", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
method.Invoke(yourContextMenuStrip, null);
All selections will be removed.
OTHER TIPS
You're looking for the Checked property?
public void mnuUncheck()
{
foreach (ToolStripMenuItem Item in mnuStripMain.Items)
{
Item.Checked = false;
}
}
Taking the approach of Sergey, there is also an internal method on the ToolStripItem which you could call:
MethodInfo methodInfo = typeof(ToolStripItem).GetMethod("Unselect", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
methodInfo.Invoke(yourToolStripItem, null);
