Is it possible to add a picture on the top of ContextMenuStrip

Hi,

Is it possible to add a picture above the items in a ContextMenuStrip? Or a panel on which there could be some fancy stuff like an animation? :)

Many thanks!

Yup, you can always write the code to do it. I have never tried to add images to a context menu strip, so maybe there is an easier way, but you can always just roll your own control by drawing it yourself and handling the mouse input.

Hi, thanks for your advice. My idea is to use the standard menu strip control which has/will have different look in various Windows versions and add - preferably - a control-container on the top of it to display a picture / animation / a text hint etc. In the first instance I probably could draw a picture, but would be better to create something generic, and as I'm quite junior to C#/.NET hoped someone could point me to a piece of code to give me a hint.

All it takes is a little knowledge. Learn how to draw using the Graphics class, override OnPaint, etc. Pretty basic concepts, there are already many tutorials out there.

Yup, but I haven't found anything about ContextMenuStrip hosting another control and this was actually my question - if anyone had done it before and could share a few lines of code. In my case drawing a picture is just a quick win for the time being.
