Remove selection from a Strip Menu

Question

I got the following Menu Strip:

I would like when I move the mouse over it not to have the color blue. It’s just to be informative this and not to use as buttons.

Using enable the Menu Strip turns gray and loses all sense of my using it.

Answer 1

This is the expected behavior of a menu. Swap the component for a ToolStrip and add a label.

Answer 2

My guess is you’re looking for class ToolStripLabel which is just a Label that can be used in conjunction with a Menustrip.

Toollabel is descended from ToolStripItem so can be added to the collection MenuStrip.Items.

To use it just add one ToolStripLabel the collection MenuStrip.Items:

menuStrip1.Items.Add(new ToolStripLabel("PT Stack Overflow"));

To add it as sub-item from another ToolStripMenuItem use the property ToolStripMenuItem.DropDownItems of the item in which you want to add it:

ToolStripLabel MenuLabel1 = new ToolStripLabel("PT Stack Overflow");
((ToolStripMenuItem)menuStrip1.Items[0]).DropDownItems.Add(MenuLabel1);
