I'm working on a C# winForm project that use a contextMenuStrip. I'm trying to figure out how to disable/override default behavior of allowing only one toolStripMenuItem at a time for selection. I've been working at this for the last 2 days and I'm making 0 progress.

Does anyone know of any links or how to do this?

Thanks in advance, -DA

Mhm... maybe if you try to catch the Closing Event with something like

C#

private void _Context_Closing(object sender, ToolStripDropDownClosingEventArgs e) {
  if (e.CloseReason == ToolStripDropDownReason.ItemClicked) {
    e.Cancel = true;

    //some magic here...
  }
}
