I have an INI file that contains several of these following entries.The Section names are all labled ASSET_CONTROLS_#.[code]The "Name" field should be added to the ContextMenuStrip control as a ToolStripMenuItem.If there is a value in "SubMenuNames" in the INI file, the ToolStripMenuItem created from the "Name" field, should have a DropDownItem created under it. I have separated multiple SubMenuNames with a SemiColon, so a loop would be used to create the separate menu items.Command and Parameters are to be used with the Process.Start function when the Menu Item is clicked. What is the best way to code this? I have been trying to do the event handling for the menu items for hours now and can't get it right. I basically want to call a procedure and pass the "Command & Parameter" values to it to use the Process.Start function.[code]
While developing -> I can add a submenu to items in the context menu strip. When I build the application, and show this context menu strip - there is no option to get into this sub menu.
I have a ContextMenuStrip and a ListBox. I have the context menu connected to the listbox. The menu has two items, Select All and Deselect All. I want to select/deselect all the items in the listbox when a button is clicked. I have done this before for a CheckedListBox but cannot remember how.
I'm trying to figure out a way to put a text label at the top of a context menu strip. But as far as I can tell, the only options are "MenuItem", "ComboBox", "Separator", and "TextBox".I reckon I could use a MenuItem for this if I had to, but I think a (non-clickable) label would look a lot more professional.
Well the context menu strip is the box that appears when we right click during run time if i'm not mistaken. I was trying to make it run but during runtime when i right-clicked in the form nothing happens. I'd like to know if there's a way to make the program run.
I have a problem with Context Menu Strip Opening event, and i think i can get help here. On ContextMenuStrip1_Opening i have code to check, does any item are selected on listview. If yes, then ToolStripMenuItem2.Visible = True else ToolStripMenuItem2.Visible = False but it anyways using Visible = False and i can't get know why. My code on opening is this:
I have a webbrowser control that has the contextmenustrip control in it. I would like to right-click on an image and have the contextmenustrip tool copy the image url to the clipboard. I have code that is able to copy text from the webbrowser control to the clipboard and paste, but I would like to be able to copy the image url to the clipboard so that it can then be pasted wherever.Here is the code that I have that is able to copy text and past it:
The following code is converted from C# to VB.NET (this works fine in C#), however, after converting to VB.NET, the ItemClicked Event doesn't work as expected.

Background Story: My program contains a form and 3 buttons (Add New, Delete, Edit...etc), and it works perfectly. Recently, I decided to add menuStrip, since it helps end-user to work faster. So, I put the menu strip coding.
However.....Sometimes, it works normally. But sometimes it works very strange.
Strange 1. When I chose the "Add New" item in the menu, the Add New Form will be showing up, and then I clicked on the Cancel button in the Add New Form. The Form kept showing up repeatedly. But sometimes, it works normally. (Note: Add New Form's Cancel button contains one line simply coding, it's "me.close")
Strange 2. When I chose "Delete" item in the menu, the MsgBox showing up (since I coded it and it's a warning message to end-users), but the MenuStrip KEPT showing up, so the MenuStrip overlapping the MsgBox. (I expected the MenuStrip disappear in this situation)
Visual Studio 2005. Is there a way to determine which menu item is hi-lited in a ContextMenuStrip?
For example: I associate ContextMenuStrip1 with TextBox1.ContextMenuStrip1 contains 5 items with names: Item1ToolStripMenuItem Item2ToolStripMenuItem Item3ToolStripMenuItem Item4ToolStripMenuItem Item5ToolStripMenuItem
A sub-menu is created with Item3ToolStripMenuItem that contains 5 items with names: Item3aToolStripMenuItem Item3bToolStripMenuItem Item3cToolStripMenuItem Item3dToolStripMenuItem Item3eToolStripMenuItem
As the menu is navigated is there a way for the program to know which of the 10 menu items is hi-lited before a click event occurs?
How to show a context menu strip at caret postion (not cursor or pointer postion)Example: If the control is in a text area at 10th line 5th word then context menu strip should display there at caret postion.I am looking for kind of auto prompt that we use to get near caret when we click "Ctrl+Space" in any IDE like Eclipse, VB 2010, VS etc
I've done this many time before, but for some reason I can't get it to work this time.I'm trying to get a ContextMenuStrip associated with a DataGridView. I've defined each to the form and in the properties of the DataGridView I've set the ContextMenuStrip property equal to my ContextMenuStrip name (cmsDictionary), defined the onClick event code, but when I run nothing happens.
The program was originally code with a dynamically added context menu but it was popping up all over the place and I wanted to remove that and just let the grid manage it.
I am changing the content menu strip of the control to my menu strip but nothing happens.I can see my menu strip in the rest of the form but dhtml edit control does not react to right click.
I have created a menustrip in vb.net windows application.I typed items like &File,&Open.At design time,F and O is undelined in File and Open respectively.But at runtime,it does not seem to be.Also,while creating context menu strip,iam not able to enter more items like cut copy paste.
I am totally new to VB and I'd like to know, for example, when a user clicks on "Print" in the menu strip on the keyboard should automatically press "Ctrl+P", because the original print dialog, and the WebBorwser print dialog is toootaly different.
My program goes like this, i have a log in form where in the admin and guest can access, then the form will navigate to main menu form, i have there menu strip, pls help. how can i disable the subitems in the menu strip if the user is 'guest' for security purposes..
VB express 2008 .net 3.5 or .net 4.0 VB express 2010?I have written application to convert RTF to HTML. The main Purpose of the application is to copy VS code to the clipboard and covert it then put it back into the clipboard as a HTML Document so that it can be pasted into a HTML document such as Windows Live Mail. I found that code copied and pasted is spaced out in in the wrong positions.
The applications works perfect with no bugs so far. I then asked Myself how to go about doing the copy with the least amount of operator interaction. So I added an Icon to the Icon Tray with a right click menu to use to convert once the Rich Text Format was copied to the clipboard. This works fine except you have Five steps, Select the text, Copy to clipboard, Right Click the icon, Select the Converter and Paste. The normal is three steps.
To this the best solution is to add a context menu item to the active form such as the RTF editor or window. So that when you select the Rich Text to copy and right click on the form to bring up that menu then to Just Select the menu Item such as "Copy RT and Convert" I searched and found about 544000 Items and tried to restrict down to no avail. I read until I finally gave up. I did not find any code examples of this. Almost every thing I found related to the web or some other explicit document like Excel and not to the Various windows that could be active with RT in it.
how do you add a context menu item to the context menu of an active rich text format window such as WordPad or VB?I have test in my application that tests to see if it is a RTF in the clipboard so if it is not the converter does nothing.

I'v noticed in a few applications that the menu strip is bevelled looking like: url... i can't seem to figure out how to do it in the menu strip options is it something i'm missing?
I've had TuneUp Utilities for a while now and I noticed this:Can I do that? Add a reference to my program so that when I click *My App* it'll open my program
I've attached a context menu to a richtextbox. This textbox contains lines of data, and I want to find the text of the line which the user has pressed.I found how to do it after the user has chosen one of the context menu items. But I can't figure out how to do it before or when the context menu is opened. The reason for that is that I'd like to disable one of the context menu items if the line of text is missing some text. I tried the following but it's not working:
Private Sub ContextMenuStrip1_Opening(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) RichTextBox1.GetLineFromCharIndex(RichTextBox1.SelectionStart) Dim line As Integer = RichTextBox1.GetLineFromCharIndex(RichTextBox1.SelectionStart)
How do I make a menu item on a menu strip link to another windows form (like a menu item that links to an about page already created in the project). I know that every coder knows how to do this, but i've read most of the instructions in the world for Visual Basic coding, but can't find ANYTHING I know coding fairly well, so I can modify it, but I can't create it my self.
I have combed these forums and the 'net and can't find an answer to my specific problem. My menu strip disappeared (after deleting a small secondary form within my project). I therefore created a new strip and while recreating the menu items realized that the original menu items are still present, showing in my properties list. I have checked my design file as well and the original menu strip is definitely gone but the original menu items are there. I don't have many items so I would have no problem just deleting the original ones but I can't see them to delete them! I have checked and they are all set to visible. I have also moved everything on my form to see if it is behind anything else.
I an trying to create a GUI and I have added a menu strip, under the tools section of the menu strip, I have added a settings option. I want to click settings and have it open another windows form linked to the main windows form with the menustrip in order to set certain parameters. How do I link these two boxes using the settings menu strip?
