delayed closing toolstripdropdown

Question

I made a menu with dropdown buttons (A, B,C, ...).
If I click on a button and accidentally hover over another button while going down to the submenu, the dropdown button closes.
Is it possible to keep the dropdown button open until something else is clicked on?

Hi Kim,Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.You can cancel the closing of dropdown by setting true to
cancel when closereason is AppFocusChange in the closing event of dropdown.CodeSnippets:private void DropDown_Closing1(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDownClosingEventArgs e)
{
   if(e.CloseReason==System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDownCloseReason.AppFocusChange)
    {
      e.Cancel = true;
   }
}Regards,Gokul T.Attachment: RibbonControl_3a5e77b5.zip

i converted it to vb.net and put it on my form but is doesn't do anything.

Private Sub ToolStripEx1_CollapsedDropdownClosing(sender As Object, e As ToolStripDropDownClosingEventArgs) Handles ToolStripEx1.CollapsedDropdownClosing

If e.CloseReason = System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripDropDownCloseReason.AppFocusChange Then

e.Cancel = True

End If

End Sub
