I try to use owner draw on menus (toolstripmenuItem). But there is no
MeasureItem and/or DrawItem events.
TIA

Then I believe you will need to use the Menu and MainMenu classes to do the
custom drawing.

The ToolStripMenu and associated classes are significantly more advanced
than the old MenuItem classes, which effectively negates the need for owner
drawing. You can use the ToolStripControlHost control to add literally any
control you want onto your menu. This includes a grid (or other container)
made up of other controls.
