I'm coding a Windows Forms App that has a StatusStrip that displays status informations to the user, and hints when the mouse is over relevant things. However, when the program is on it's minimal window size, the text sometimes is bigger than the whole StatusStrip, and the label simply dissapears. There must be a workaround to this, ideally I'd like it to auto ellipsis when the text is bigger than the window allows. But how?
View 1 RepliesI have a set of labels with autosize=false and autoellipsis=true.What I would like to do, on the MouseHover event for each of these labels, is to show a tooltip containing that label's text, but only if the ellipsis was necessary in that particular case (i.e. the text of the label was actually too big to fit).
View 2 Repliesi have a MDI application with parent and childforms.
i have a global timer in a module that makes a com search and writes the result to a parentform status strip label.
the problem is that the label do not change.
i have tried the following:
1) on timer.elapsed
parentForm.statusstriplabel.text =...
2) to create a delegate and invoke a parent form function
3) to create and raise an event
although all 3 seened to run the label didn't changed.
the timer was created in a different module than the parentform class for many reasons.
one of them is because i want to access the timer.start , timer.stop from all the childforms
when i tried a local timer to paretform worked perfect but i couidnt start and stop it from the childs
I have been looking into the function of the status strip but I am unable to find some examples of how to add the following functions to my strip:

when I starded to "finish" my appliaction. The whole MenuStrip and StatusStrip have disappeared!
This wasn't the first time when I lost menu but this time I have made so big work for it so I really dont want to start again as I did last time...
I read another thread but I didn't get my problem solved. I think I lost my menu after I deleted "loading.png" image from resources. I'm not sure does this cause the problem but I think so.
I have all the codes in form1.vb and in form1.designer.vb in looks that:

Is there any hope to get menu and statusstrip back? :( Or is there any fast way to rebuild them if I have all the codes ready? This was almost finished... now it doesnt look finished at all.

View 2 Replieshow to minimize MDIchild windows to the StatusStrip...or is there another toolbar object in VB.NET (2008)? I have a menu layered over my MDI Parent window (which is always maximized) and if I minimize another child window, i can't see it anywhere (unless I minimize the menu too, but I took that ability away from the user)... I think I know how to do this through the menustrip at the top of the window (click on open windows....like in excel or word), but I'd like to see the windows minimized in a toolstrip of the MDI parent.

but the status text does not change, debug.print does print the message though.i am calling the ReportProgress from another thread created by the backgroundworker thread.
In the windows form designer, I added a StatusStrip control, made some changes to adding items and changed the names of the items to names I would recognize, for instance I changed "ToolStripStatusLabel3" to "lblMode". All was fine until I inadvertenly deleted the StatusStrip. Now when I add it back to the form and try to change the name I get an error saying that the name "lblMode" is already in use. And sure enough it is listed in the items of the properties window, but not dislayed anywhere.
I am not sure how to resolve this. I know there is a window, I think its called "Project Designer" or something similar that is code where controls get added but I CANNOT find this window to view the code.
in Outlook 2007, the Menu and Status bars appear to be "chromed"/gradient-filled.

I finally finished all my labels and textbox codes for this button.But now I have to code it so that I will be able to click the button and it will calculate all the wrong and correct answers in the labels and then finally place the percentage score in the uiScorePercentagelabel. What I dont understand is how to calculate all the different labels as one and then show the percentage right in the appropriate label.
I have been using vb6 for a while, I am following a tutorial by MS to develop a basic application and a simple task cannot be completed for whatever reasons! The tutorial asks to drag the label object from the toolbox and drop in the tab control container. Then, go to the label size property and adjust the size to some different dimansion. Basic stuff, right? It won't let me do it! After I enter the new dimensions (which by the way are not large or very small), the label size (both width and height) resets back to its original dimensions! I have the vb.net sp1 installed.
