Hi Win,

The ToolStripItem class has a property called CanSelect. I use Reflector to
look into the ToolStripItem class and find that the CanSelect property
always returns true.

I think a workaround is to set the KeyPreview property of the form to true
and then handle the KeyDown event of the form to ignore the Alt key.

The following is a sample:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.KeyPreview = True
End Sub

Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
If (Me.MenuStrip1.Enabled = False And e.Alt = True) Then
e.Handled = True
End If
End Sub

Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu
