dynamically displaying an image in a menu?

[Megidolaon]

I want to display a check mark next to the text of a ToolStripMenuItem, when the user clicked on it. in the form editor I set the ImageAlign property to MiddleLeft, that should display the image on the right side of the text or? But how do I achieve that the image gets displayed only whe the user clicks on the menu item? And whe he does, the image that was displayed for another menu option should be erased (so that the user see which of the options is selected and can see which one he selected)? I tried the Image and ImageList properties, but I got an error: Invalid parameter Thanks.

Well, I don't have my VS in front of me, so I'll do it out of my head. There are several possibility's. I think you should do something like this: In your code, make a function like this:

String[] imagePaths = {"mypic1.jpg", "mypic2.jpg", "mypic3.jpg"};

public void clearMenuItemImages()
{
mi1.Image = null;
mi2.Image = null;
mi3.Image = null;
}

public void onMenuItem1Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
clearMenuItemImages();
((ToolStripMenuItem)sender).Image = imagePath[0];
}

//etc.

You can make this faster and better, but this is a start.

Images ??? Alignment ??? What ??? ToolStripMenuItems have a Checked Property. Set it to true to display a check mark next to the text, set it to false to make the check mark go away.
