The below snippet does not work...anyone know how to reference the
procedure 'DrawCross()'?



Private Sub MarkVORToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As
System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
MarkVORToolStripMenuItem.Click
If ContextMenuStrip1.SourceControl.BackgroundImage Is
DrawCross() Then
msgbocx("test")
End If
End Sub


Friend Function DrawCross() As Bitmap
Dim sampleBitmap As New Bitmap(32, 32)
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(sampleBitmap)
Dim p As New Pen(ProfessionalColors.ButtonPressedBorder)
p.Color = Color.Red
Try
p.Width = 2
g.DrawLine(p, -35, 65, 80, -45)
g.DrawLine(p, 200, 200, 0, 0)
Finally
p.Dispose()
End Try
Return sampleBitmap
End Function

Every time you call DrawCross(), you're generating a new instance of a
bitmap. That will never be the same instance you assigned to the
BackgroundImage.

The "is" operator is not a bitmap comparison operator. (Unless you were to
overload it.)

How about making your own extended MyContextMenuStrip inherits from
ContextMenuStrip and has a String property you can set to change the
BackgroundImage? (My nomenclature may be wrong.)

Im sorry but im really a transport manager pretending to be a
programmer so my knowledge is basic!!!

[Please bottom-post in this newsgroup.]

You'll have to wait for someone who knows about ContextMenuStrip as it isn't
in the VS2003/.NET1.1 I have. And anyway, I have to admit to only knowing
the principle of this Inherits thing; I've never needed to use it, other
than what VS sticks in the code for me.

why do you have to bottom post???

Does it make it easier for you or is it a generally excepted rule ...
 
Ahhhhhhhh ... It all becomes clear. Bottom-posting is for those who suffer
from dyslexia.
