RadioCheck is missing from MenuStrip control

I am using .NET framework 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008 and I confirm that there is no RadioCheck property available for ToolStripMenuItem controls, usually used in MenuStrip control or ToolStrip control. This is inconvinent when you want several of your grouped ToolStripMenuItem controls behave like a set of radio buttons. Now you can only easily set them as multiple check items.

To get the advantage from RadioCheck setting in menus, go back to MainMenu control. This control is similar to MenuStrip but its MainMenuItem controls have RadioCheck property. Notice that MainMenu control is not shown in the default tool list. You may need to manually add it to the tool list.

Until next time, happy coding.
