    Well don't add any Items to it. It's YOU and eventually YOUR code that adds an item to the toolstrip menu. If you have a pice of code that dynamically adds items at runtime, than make some sort of logic/condition to not allow any Items to be added unless the condition is satisfied.

        I really don't want to offend you but I just DO NOT understand your question. Please use Google Translate or something.

            Just add a normal MenuStrip object to your form. It doesn't have that functionality by default. Are you by chance talking about a ToolStrip?

                  First - did you make a custom control derived from ToolStripMenu? If YES than the only way I can think of how you could force that, is by overriding the methods/events such as myCoolMenuStrip1.ItemAdded and do nothing in there. Something like:

                  protected override void OnItemAdded(ToolStripItemEventArgs e)
                  {
                  //do absolutely nothing
                  //base.OnItemRemoved(e);
                  }

                  protected override void OnItemRemoved(ToolStripItemEventArgs e)
                  {
                  //do absolutely nothing
                  //base.OnItemRemoved(e);
                  }

                  If Not state more clearly what you want.

                    The ToolStrip can be locked by using one or more properties, disallowing removal of buttons. I don't know what these properties are, but a little googling should help.

                            From my understanding. You have created a usercontrol that has a number of items. If someone else uses this control, you do not want any of those items to be visible? If this is the case then you will want to have some form of mechanism that checks if the user has authority to use those items. If they do not then when the control is initialised then emove those items, else them them there. Is that what you mean?
