an XNA way to make a menustrip

I will preface this by I am new to XNA and I realize what I am asking for doesn't exist.

However I am curious if I wanted to create something similar to a menustrip from winforms in XNA, how would I do that? Is there a best way? Or even a way?

I appreciate it, thanks!

Solution

  • I found a possible solution, that will need further investigation: http://neoforce.codeplex.com/

    This should give me UI control w/o having to recode everything, unless I can just add an XNA pane to my winforms app

    Edit:

    neoforce appears to not work well with c# 2010. I did however find this: http://create.msdn.com/en-US/education/catalog/sample/winforms_series_1 which does work, to do as Joel Martinez mentioned of drawing an XNA form inside of a winform. It is not trivial but this example code should be enough for a jump start.
