MainMenu with Images (WinForms, C#)

I have a Ma开发者_Go百科inMenu in my app and I would like to have little icons relevant to the Item in each menu. But the MainMenu control does not support this.

I would use the MenuStrip control, though that is a pretty ugly option in my opinion.

Does anybody have any suggestions? Are there any free/open source alt's out there, or would it be easy/possible to implement that feature into the existing MainMenu control?

Thanks

I very often come across problems like this, and its rare when I can find free code that I can use. What I do is I try to derive my own controls to make things happen, which is pain... but what you gonna do... Regarding your problem I just found this post, and I think thats exactly what you need. Good luck.
