The enclosing ToolStrip gets the key events so you can handle it there with something like:
toolStripDropDownButton1.KeyDown += (s, e) =>
{
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Delete)
{
foreach (var item in ((ToolStrip)s).Items.OfType<ToolStripMenuItem>())
{
if (item.Selected)
{
((ToolStrip)s).Items.Remove(item);
break;
}
}
}
};

I am using ToolStripDropDownButton and dynamically adding menu items as below:
toolStripDropDownButton1.DropDownItems.Clear();
ToolStripMenuItem item1 = new ToolStripMenuItem("Item1");
toolStripDropDownButton1.DropDownItems.Add(item1);
ToolStripMenuItem item2 = new ToolStripMenuItem("Item2");
toolStripDropDownButton1.DropDownItems.Add(item2);
I would like to delete the selected menu item when the Delete key is pressed. But the ToolStripMenuItem doesn't have KeyPress or KeyDown event.
I am using Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0. Any suggestions on how to achieve this functionality?
