演练：创建具有专业样式的 ToolStrip 控件

项目
05/04/2023

可以通过编写自己的派生自 ToolStripProfessionalRenderer 类型的类，赋予应用程序的 ToolStrip 控件专业的外观和行为。

此演练演示如何使用 ToolStrip 控件创建类似于 Microsoft® Outlook® 提供的导航窗格的复合控件。本演练演示了以下任务：

创建 Windows 控件库项目。
设计 StackView 控件。
实现自定义呈现器。

完成后，你将拥有一个具有 Microsoft Office® XP 控件专业外观的可重用自定义客户端控件。

若要将本主题中的代码复制为单个列表，请参阅如何：创建专业样式的 ToolStrip 控件。

先决条件

要完成本演练，必须具有 Visual Studio。

创建控件库项目

在 Visual Studio 中，创建一个名为 StackViewLibrary 的新 Windows 控件库项目。
使用“解决方案资源管理器”，根据所选语言删除名为“UserControl1.cs”或“UserControl1.vb”的源文件，从而删除项目的默认控件。

有关更多信息，请参阅如何：移除、删除和排除项。
将新的 UserControl 项添加到 StackViewLibrary 项目。为新源文件提供基名称 StackView。

设计 StackView 控件

StackView 控件是具有一个子 ToolStrip 控件的复合控件。有关复合控件的更多信息，请参阅各种自定义控件。

在“工具箱”中，将 ToolStrip 控件拖到设计图面上。

在“属性”，根据下表设置 ToolStrip 控件的属性。

属性	值
名称	`stackStrip`
CanOverflow	`false`
靠接	Bottom
字体	`Tahoma, 10pt, style=Bold`
GripStyle	Hidden
LayoutStyle	VerticalStackWithOverflow
填充	`0, 7, 0, 0`
RenderMode	Professional

在 Windows 窗体设计器中，单击 ToolStrip 控件的“添加”按钮并将 ToolStripButton 添加到 stackStrip 控件。

在“属性”，根据下表设置 ToolStripButton 控件的属性。

属性	值
名称	`mailStackButton`
CheckOnClick	是
CheckState	Checked
DisplayStyle	ImageAndText
ImageAlign	MiddleLeft
ImageScaling	None
ImageTransparentColor	`238, 238, 238`
Margin	`0, 0, 0, 0`
填充	`3, 3, 3, 3`
文本	Mail
TextAlign	MiddleLeft

对另外三个 ToolStripButton 控件重复步骤 7。

将控件命名为 calendarStackButton、contactsStackButton 和 tasksStackButton。将 Text 属性的值分别设置为“日历”、“联系人”和“任务”。

处理事件

为了使 StackView 控件正常运行，有两个事件很重要。处理 Load 事件以正确定位控件。处理每个 ToolStripButton 的 Click 事件，以使 StackView 控件状态行为类似于 RadioButton 控件。

在“Windows 窗体设计器”中，选择 StackView 控件。
在“属性”窗口中，单击“事件”。
双击 Load 事件以生成 StackView_Load 事件处理程序。

在 StackView_Load 事件处理程序中，复制并粘贴以下代码。

// This method handles the Load event for the UserControl.
private void StackView_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Dock bottom.
    this.Dock = DockStyle.Bottom;

    // Set AutoSize.
    this.AutoSize = true;
}

' This method handles the Load event for the UserControl.
Private Sub StackView_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
   ' Dock bottom.
   Me.Dock = DockStyle.Bottom
   
   ' Set AutoSize.
   Me.AutoSize = True
 End Sub

在“Windows 窗体设计器”中，选择 mailStackButton 控件。
在“属性”窗口中，单击“事件”。
双击 Click 事件。

Windows 窗体设计器生成 mailStackButton_Click 事件处理程序。
将 mailStackButton_Click 事件处理程序重命名为 stackButton_Click。

有关更多信息，请参阅重命名代码符号重构。

将下面的代码插入 stackButton_Click 事件处理程序。

// This method handles the Click event for all
// the ToolStripButton controls in the StackView.
private void stackButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Define a "one of many" state, similar to
    // the logic of a RadioButton control.
    foreach (ToolStripItem item in this.stackStrip.Items)
    {
        if ((item != sender) &&
            (item is ToolStripButton))
        {
            ((ToolStripButton)item).Checked = false;
        }
    }
}

' This method handles the Click event for all
' the ToolStripButton controls in the StackView.
Private Sub stackButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles mailStackButton.Click, calendarStackButton.Click, contactsStackButton.Click, tasksStackButton.Click
   ' Define a "one of many" state, similar to
   ' the logic of a RadioButton control.
   Dim item As ToolStripItem
   For Each item In  Me.stackStrip.Items
         If item IsNot sender AndAlso TypeOf item Is ToolStripButton Then
             CType(item, ToolStripButton).Checked = False
         End If
   Next item
 End Sub

在“Windows 窗体设计器”中，选择 calendarStackButton 控件。
在“属性”窗口中，将 Click 事件设置为 stackButton_Click 事件处理程序。
对 contactsStackButton 和 tasksStackButton 控件重复步骤 10 和 11。

定义图标

每个 StackView 按钮都有一个关联的图标。为方便起见，每个图标都表示为 Base64 编码的字符串，在从中创建 Bitmap 之前对其进行反序列化。在生产环境中，你将位图数据存储为资源，图标将显示在 Windows 窗体设计器中。有关更多信息，请参阅如何：将背景图像添加到 Windows 窗体。

在代码编辑器中，将以下代码插入到 StackView 类定义中。此代码初始化 ToolStripButton 图标的位图。

实现自定义呈现器

你可以自定义实现派生自 ToolStripRenderer 类的类的 StackView 控件的大多数元素。在此过程中，你将实现一个 ToolStripProfessionalRenderer 类，该类自定义手柄并为 ToolStripButton 控件绘制渐变背景。

将以下代码插入到 StackView 控件定义中。

这是 StackRenderer 类的定义，它覆盖 RenderGrip、RenderToolStripBorder 和 RenderButtonBackground 方法以生成自定义外观。

在 StackView 控件的构造函数中，创建 StackRenderer 类的新实例并将此实例分配给 stackStrip 控件的 Renderer 属性。

public StackView()
{
    this.InitializeComponent();

    // Assign icons to ToolStripButton controls.
    this.InitializeImages();

    // Set up renderers.
    this.stackStrip.Renderer = new StackRenderer();
}

Public Sub New()
   Me.InitializeComponent()
   
   ' Assign icons to ToolStripButton controls.
   Me.InitializeImages()
   
   ' Set up renderers.
   Me.stackStrip.Renderer = New StackRenderer()
 End Sub

测试 StackView 控件

StackView 控件派生自 UserControl 类。因此，可以使用 UserControl 测试容器测试控件。有关详细信息，请参阅如何：测试 UserControl 的运行时行为。

按 F5 生成项目并启动 UserControl 测试容器。
将指针移到 StackView 控件的按钮上，然后单击按钮以查看其选定状态的外观。

后续步骤

在此演练中，你创建了一个具有 Office XP 控件专业外观的可重用自定义客户端控件。可以将 ToolStrip 系列控件用于许多其他目的：

使用 ContextMenuStrip 为控件创建快捷菜单。有关更多信息，请参阅 ContextMenu 组件概述。
创建带有自动填充标准菜单的表单。有关更多信息，请参阅演练：向窗体提供标准菜单项。
创建带有停靠 ToolStrip 控件的多文档界面 (MDI) 窗体。有关更多信息，请参阅演练：创建带有菜单合并和 ToolStrip 控件的 MDI 窗体。
