How to: Create a Professionally Styled ToolStrip Control

You can give your application’s ToolStrip controls a professional appearance and behavior (look and feel) by writing your own class derived from the ToolStripProfessionalRenderer type.

There is extensive support for this feature in Visual Studio.

See Walkthrough: Creating a Professionally Styled ToolStrip Control.

Example

The following code example demonstrates how to use ToolStrip controls to create a composite control that mimics the Navigation Pane provided by Microsoft® Outlook®.
