AcrylicContextMenu

AcrylicContextMenu provides a context menu strip with AcrylicUI styling. It inherits from the standard System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenuStrip and uses custom renderers to match the application's theme.

Basic Usage

Create an instance of AcrylicContextMenu, add ToolStripMenuItem objects to its Items collection, and assign it to the ContextMenuStrip property of the control that should display it (e.g., a Panel, TextBox, or the Form itself).

using AcrylicUI.Controls;
using AcrylicUI.Forms;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;

public partial class MyForm : AcrylicForm
{
    private AcrylicContextMenu contextMenuForPanel;
    private Panel rightClickPanel;

    public MyForm()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        // Create a panel to attach the context menu to
        rightClickPanel = new Panel 
        { 
            Location = new Point(20, 50), 
            Size = new Size(200, 100), 
            BackColor = Color.FromArgb(60, 63, 65) // Example background 
        };
        Controls.Add(rightClickPanel);

        // Create the Context Menu
        contextMenuForPanel = new AcrylicContextMenu();

        // Create Menu Items
        var itemCopy = new ToolStripMenuItem("Copy");
        var itemPaste = new ToolStripMenuItem("Paste");
        var itemDelete = new ToolStripMenuItem("Delete");
        var separator = new ToolStripSeparator();
        var itemProperties = new ToolStripMenuItem("Properties...");

        // Add items to the context menu
        contextMenuForPanel.Items.AddRange(new ToolStripItem[] {
            itemCopy,
            itemPaste,
            separator, // Separator item
            itemDelete,
            itemProperties
        });

        // Assign event handlers for menu item clicks
        itemCopy.Click += (s, e) => { AcrylicMessageBox.ShowInformation(this, "Copy clicked!", "Context Menu"); };
        itemPaste.Click += (s, e) => { AcrylicMessageBox.ShowInformation(this, "Paste clicked!", "Context Menu"); };
        itemDelete.Click += (s, e) => { AcrylicMessageBox.ShowInformation(this, "Delete clicked!", "Context Menu"); };
        itemProperties.Click += (s, e) => { AcrylicMessageBox.ShowInformation(this, "Properties clicked!", "Context Menu"); };
        
        // Assign the context menu to the panel
        rightClickPanel.ContextMenuStrip = contextMenuForPanel;
    }
}

Key Properties

• Items: Gets the collection of ToolStripItem objects (like ToolStripMenuItem, ToolStripSeparator) displayed in the menu.
• Renderer: Controls how the menu is painted (automatically set by AcrylicUI).
• ShowImageMargin, ShowCheckMargin: Standard ContextMenuStrip properties to control visual layout.

Adding Items

Use the Items.Add() or Items.AddRange() methods to add ToolStripMenuItem or ToolStripSeparator instances. Attach event handlers to the Click event of each ToolStripMenuItem to perform actions.
