No image property for plain navigation drawer items

[Emilio Grimaldo]

I am using the NavigationDrawer on a WinForms application. I defined a header item followed by 6 regular items (not header and not footer). While the Header and Footer drawer items have an image property, there is no image property for the regular navigation drawer items and I would like to display an icon to the left of the navigation drawer item to make it more appealing (i.e. account, profile, etc.).

The only image property on the regular N.D. items is the background image that can be tiled or stretched but that is not as useful as an icon that can be displayed to the left or right of the navigation drawer item. At least I can't see any on the designer.

Hi Emilio, 

  

Thank you for your patience. 

  

We have implemented your feature request “NavigationDrawer MenuItem image support”. We can now set Image for the menu items in NavigationDrawer using the newly implemented “Image” property and it can be aligned using “ImageAlign” property. Please find the following code snippet for the same, 

  

 

drawerMenuItem2.Image = Image.FromFile("D:/Audit-WF.png"); 

drawerMenuItem2.ImageAlign = ImageAlignment.Left;
