问题
Noticed in a full application, but fully reproducable in a simple demo:
I've got a MenuStrip
containing three menus, A
, B
, and C
. Each of these menus contains three items, A1
/A2
/.../C2
/C3
.
When I press Alt, the first menu A
becomes selected. I can then use the ← and → keys to select other menus. That is as it should be.
However, when I press ↓ to open a menu, I can still use ← and → to select other menus, but the order is reversed: ← selects the next menu, and → the previous.
I'm having trouble figuring out if something is wrong with my local system, if this is a bug in the MenuStrip
component, or if I am forgetting to set a required property. All three seem strange to me, because in all three cases I would expect someone to have encountered this problem already, and I cannot even find anyone else asking about this.
If it's not clear what I'm asking, here is an image:
And before I forget to mention, there is no relevant code. This demo application is a brand new WinForms project, has one MenuStrip
control added to its default form, and has got three menus with three items each, for each of which I have set nothing more than the text.
回答1:
This is a bug/misfeature in MenuStrip
.
Looking at the ToolStripDropDown.ProcessArrowKey
implementation with Reflector shows that the arrow keys get reversed depending on SystemInformation.RightAlignedMenus
. That's not right. It should depend on the right-to-left mode of the menu strip itself, which may sometimes (usually?) match SystemInformation.RightAlignedMenus
, but not always, and not on my system.
SystemInformation.RightAlignedMenus
is user-configurable via Control Panel, Tablet PC Settings, Other, Handedness, and indeed if I change that to Left-handed, I get the menus to behave correctly. The default and correct setting for me is Right-handed. Since the MenuStrip
component is simply not keyboard-usable on my system, I will replace my use of it with a standard MainMenu
component.
Update: I'm actually using a derived control to be able to provide nice menu images. It is based on the Microsoft sample on "Visual Style Menus". A more fully-featured implementation that also works on Windows XP and prior (in that case using owner-drawn menus) is available at Vista Menu with Icons in C#, but that is more complicated than necessary for me.
