c# winforms - ToolStripButtons working like a menu

Memento

c# winforms
I have twelve buttons on a ToolStrip, and want if they could work like a menu.
For each button clickEvent, i wrote:

foreach (ToolStripItem c in ToolStrip1.Items)
{
c.ForeColor = Color.Gray;
}
Button1.ForeColor = Color.Crimson; //Button1 replace with Button2, Button3...

I suppose there is a shorter way.
Maybe if could change the CheckOnClick event - not to change BackColor but ForeColor, and change foreColor back to Gray - if some other button is clicked ?
Is there a way, please ?

Once Button1 clicked and then clicked Button2, the onblur JS event will fire. This is same for all buttons. So attach JS event of onclick&onblur for each button towards 2 handlres like onClick(this) & onBlur(this). The key "this" would have a Ref. to the button. Also always use client side for such GUI modifications
