The ToolStripItem.Image, ToolStripItem.ImageAlign, ToolStripItem.ImageIndex, ToolStripItem.ImageKey, and ToolStripItem.ImageScaling properties pertain to various aspects of image handling. Use images in System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip controls by setting these properties directly or by setting the run-time–only ToolStrip.ImageList property.

Image scaling is determined by the interaction of properties in both System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip and System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem, as follows:

• ToolStrip.ImageScalingSize is the scale of the final image as determined by the combination of the image's ToolStripItem.ImageScaling setting and the container's ToolStrip.AutoSize setting.
