How to add a separator to a WinForms menu in C #?

Question

Inside my control, I have:

ContextMenu = new ContextMenu(); ContextMenu.MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("&Add Item", onAddSpeaker)); ContextMenu.MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("&Edit Item", onEditSpeaker)); ContextMenu.MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("&Delete Item", onDeleteSpeaker)); ContextMenu.MenuItems.Add( ??? ); ContextMenu.MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("Cancel")); 

What do I need to do to make the menu separator?

Answer 1

I believe this is just a dash:

 ContextMenu.MenuItems.Add("-"); 

Answer 2

This works as well as the dash, and I suspect that Winforms will translate the dash into ToolStripSeparator. I believe this solution is more obvious to anyone who needs to maintain code.

 yourContextMenu.Items.Add(new ToolStripSeparator()); 

Answer 3

In WPF:

 ContextMenu.MenuItems.Add(new Separator()); 

Answer 4

If you use the constructor, put one hyphen "-" in the form of text in the same way as the names of menu items. After pressing enter, a separator will be created.

Answer 5

Set the text property for the hyphen.

Answer 6

Perhaps in later versions of Visual Studio they made it easier. I am using VS 2012. You can add a separator through the form designer. 1) Select / Create MenuStrip. 2) In the Type Here field, right-click. 3) Select "Paste." 4) Select "Separator". 5) Drag the new separator into the text you want it to be above. Done.
