Hi all,

I want to use a vertical menustrip which should be "arrow-friendly".
No mouse will be available, just a remote control with the arrow keys.

I want to achieve the following scenario:
User uses up/down arrows to browse through vertical menu-items.
User sees drop-down menus if they exists for a specific menu-item.
User uses ENTER to toggle to dropdown items or up/down arrows to continue to browse through the main menu items.
(this scenario is much like moving the mouse vertically over the items)

The default vertical menu behavior is as follows:
User uses up/down arrows to browse through vertical menu-items.
User comes across a menu item that has dropdown items.
User uses up/down arrows to select another item but finds himself trapped in
the dropdown list, the focus went directly to a dropdown item...
User is forced to press right or left arrow to re-focus the main vertical menu.

I tried to code the desired behavior through events and select methods with no success.

Any ideas or code samples would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
thanasis
