Question

Hi
Does anybody know how we can align the text in the ContextMenuStrip (in WinForms) to the center?
thanks!

Implement custom ToolStripRenderer (use one of 2 standard to minimize code):

public sealed class CustomRenderer : ToolStripProfessionalRenderer
{
    protected override void OnRenderItemText(ToolStripItemTextRenderEventArgs e)
    {
        if(e.Item.IsOnDropDown)
        {
            e.TextFormat |= TextFormatFlags.HorizontalCenter;
        }
        base.OnRenderItemText(e);
    }
}

And use it:

ToolStripManager.Renderer = new CustomRenderer();

Note though that this is not standard Windows GUI menu item layout which users expect.
