radContextMenu + NotifyIcon

[Helen]

Is there any way to use a radContextMenu with the WinForms NotifyIcon? I'd like to use the radMenus for my WinForms app, but I need the NotifyIcon functionality, and I can't see how to use rad Menus with it.

Thanks,

Helen

Hello Helen,

Thank you for writing.

Here is how to incorporate RadContextMenu with NotifyIcon:

public partial class Form1 : Form
   {
       RadContextMenu contextMenu = new RadContextMenu();

       public Form1()
       {

           InitializeComponent();

           this.notifyIcon1 = new System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon(this.components);
           notifyIcon1.Icon = new Icon(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for WinForms Q2 2012 SP2\Examples\QuickStart\Resources\telerik.ico");
           notifyIcon1.Text = "Form1 (NotifyIcon example)";
           notifyIcon1.Visible = true;
           notifyIcon1.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(notifyIcon1_MouseDown);

           contextMenu.Items.Add(new RadMenuHeaderItem("Hello, I am RadContextMenu"));
           RadMenuItem item = new RadMenuItem("Close");
           item.Click += new EventHandler(item_Click);
           contextMenu.Items.Add(item);
       }

       void item_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           this.Close();
       }

       void notifyIcon1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
       {
           if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right)
           {
               contextMenu.Show(MousePosition);
           }
       }
   }

This is cool -- thank you!

Now I can use your theming for all my controls.
