I have a MenuStrip item on a form and am trying to disable a
ToolStripMenuIt em on the dropdown portion. I'm using the following
code to test and when I run it in Form_load the caption changes to
Disabled, the item is disabled, but the color does not change to light
gray so as to indicate to a user that the item is unavailable.
mnuOpen.Text = "Disabled"
mnuOpen.Enabled = False
When I go to my display properties and change the Windows and Buttons
option to Windows XP it all works just fine, However, I need to keep
the Windows Classic Style and it is here that the problem occurs. I
tried setting the ForeColor manually to Color.Gray but it still
doesn't display.
What's really wierd is that if I change to Windows XP and then back to
Classic it works the first few times and then stops. The item that was
once gray suddenly appears in black. Has anyone seen this before? Is
there a bug in the ToolStripMenuIt em?
Thanks
Carl
