Examples

The following code example demonstrates a use of the RenderMode property. This example is part of a larger example provided for the Renderer property.

// This event handler is invoked when 
// the "Apply Renderers" button is clicked.
// Depending on the value selected in a ComboBox control,
// it applies a custom renderer selectively to
// individual MenuStrip or ToolStrip controls,
// or it applies a custom renderer to the 
// application as a whole.
void applyButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 ToolStrip ms = ToolStripManager.FindToolStrip("MenuStrip");
 ToolStrip ts = ToolStripManager.FindToolStrip("ToolStrip");

 if (targetComboBox.SelectedItem != null)
 {
 switch (targetComboBox.SelectedItem.ToString())
 {
 case "Reset":
 {
 ms.RenderMode = ToolStripRenderMode.ManagerRenderMode;
 ts.RenderMode = ToolStripRenderMode.ManagerRenderMode;

 // Set the default RenderMode to Professional.
 ToolStripManager.RenderMode = ToolStripManagerRenderMode.Professional;

 break;
 }

 case "All":
 {
 ms.RenderMode = ToolStripRenderMode.ManagerRenderMode;
 ts.RenderMode = ToolStripRenderMode.ManagerRenderMode;

 // Assign the custom renderer at the application level.
 ToolStripManager.Renderer = new CustomProfessionalRenderer();

 break;
 }

 case "MenuStrip":
 {
 // Assign the custom renderer to the MenuStrip control only.
 ms.Renderer = new CustomProfessionalRenderer();

 break;
 }

 case "ToolStrip":
 {
 // Assign the custom renderer to the ToolStrip control only.
 ts.Renderer = new CustomProfessionalRenderer();

 break;
 }
 }
 }
}

' This event handler is invoked when 
' the "Apply Renderers" button is clicked.
' Depending on the value selected in a ComboBox 
' control, it applies a custom renderer selectively
' to individual MenuStrip or ToolStrip controls,
' or it applies a custom renderer to the

Sub applyButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
 Dim ms As ToolStrip = ToolStripManager.FindToolStrip("MenuStrip")
 Dim ts As ToolStrip = ToolStripManager.FindToolStrip("ToolStrip")

 If targetComboBox.SelectedItem IsNot Nothing Then

 Select Case targetComboBox.SelectedItem.ToString()
 Case "Reset"
 ms.RenderMode = ToolStripRenderMode.ManagerRenderMode
 ts.RenderMode = ToolStripRenderMode.ManagerRenderMode

 ' Set the default RenderMode to Professional.
 ToolStripManager.RenderMode = ToolStripManagerRenderMode.Professional

 Exit Select

 Case "All"
 ms.RenderMode = ToolStripRenderMode.ManagerRenderMode
 ts.RenderMode = ToolStripRenderMode.ManagerRenderMode

 ' Assign the custom renderer at the application level.
 ToolStripManager.Renderer = New CustomProfessionalRenderer()

 Exit Select

 Case "MenuStrip"
 ' Assign the custom renderer to the MenuStrip control only.
 ms.Renderer = New CustomProfessionalRenderer()

 Exit Select

 Case "ToolStrip"
 ' Assign the custom renderer to the ToolStrip control only.
 ts.Renderer = New CustomProfessionalRenderer()

 Exit Select
 End Select

 End If
End Sub

Remarks

Use the RenderMode property to get or set whether the application is painted by the ToolStripProfessionalRenderer, the ToolStripSystemRenderer, or a customized ToolStripRenderer.
