Adding a TrackBar control to a ContextMenu

Question

Is it possible to add a TrackBar control to a ContextMenu? So when I right click, my ContextMenu will drop down and a TrackBar will appear as a menu item?

Answer 1

If your context menu is a ContexMenuStrip, you can create an item in this way:

[ToolStripItemDesignerAvailability(ToolStripItemDesignerAvailability.MenuStrip | 
                                   ToolStripItemDesignerAvailability.ContextMenuStrip)]
public class TrackBarMenuItem : ToolStripControlHost
{
    private TrackBar trackBar;

    public TrackBarMenuItem():base(new TrackBar())
    {
        this.trackBar = this.Control as TrackBar;
    }

    // Add properties, events etc. you want to expose...
}

Thanks to the ToolStripItemDesignerAvailability attribute, you can even see the item in the Forms Designer, as shown in the image below:
