Points:821I 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?

Hi Jay,
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;
}
}
}
};
