Have you ever dreamed of being able to create a menu similar to the Start Menu in your .NET Compact Framework application? Now you can! Take a look at this screenshot of the sample:
The sample is using the PopupMenu component that I've developed and which will be available from OpenNETCF. The component allows you to assign the ImageList with your icons, specify the background image - all from the design-time. The PopupMenu also provides the ability for you to create a menu from the scratch by exposing the DrawItem and MeasureItem events. The usage of them should be similar to the desktop version of the MenuItem. Here is another screenshot of the PopupMenu assigned to the ContextMenu property of the Form:
We are planning to have a short and intensive beta testing period and release it pretty soon. If you are interested in participation in this beta program, please send us email at dcs(AT)opennetcf.com.
