Add Custom Options To Standard Context Menu Or Use Standard Options In Custom Context Menu
Dec 16, 2010
I have a text box field for which I want to use a couple of custom commands accessible via a context menu. I can add my custom context menu to my text box, but then I lose the standard windows ones (i.e. Undo, copy, paste, etc).
What I really want is a context menu with both my custom options and the standard windows options. I want that to take place only within my application (i.e. not like a shell extension).

I want to have a custom context menu. I know how to set it, and have basic commands like copy paste cut back forward stop etc, but I want to have custom right click options when clicking a link, and custom options when clicking an image like having the option to save the image or copy it. How would I achieve this?

I've got a dynamically filled datagrid view. When a user right clicks a cell in the datagridview, it opens a context menu, located by that cell. The context menu has two choices: A and B. I want to set the value of the cell to A if they pick A, and B if they pick B.I would like to pass the relevant cell as a field in the event args passed to ContextMenu's ToolStripItem.click. So the handler for ToolStripItem A's click event would read the relevant cell from the event args and set it to A , like this...
Private Sub A_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Customized System.EventArgs) Handles A.Click
e.relevantCell.Value=A
End Sub
how to pass a custom event arg. Or if there is some easier way to do this? I can't just use the X and Y coordinates, because the context menu/mouse won't necessary by over the relevant cell.

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 open a context menu by right clicking it.
It stays open when the cursor leaves it.
I click a main menu item.
The drop down opens at the top left of the screen.
Not under the main menu item I clicked.
I want to search the Internet but can't guess what key words to use.

I have a blank form and when the use right clicks on the form, they get a context menu with any number of names in the menu. This changes depending on the situation. I can get the context menu to add/remove the list of names but when I click on one of the choices and it goes to my routine (from addhandler) I can't find the property that tells me what they clicked on...

As i'm learning more and more about developing ive just got my head around creating classes and modules, i started wondering about something to do with configuration of applications where deployment is in a more diverse environment say in a company where different branches dont need access to all parts of a program, so i thought id throw the question out there in a basic sense and get some feedback. so i can go off and do some more reading and learning.
So the scenario in my head is like this.
So we have for arguments sake FrmConfig which is the master configuration form, then we have FrmMain which is the root menu our application general user interfaces with. So here based on what options are checked as enabled in FrmConfig effects what controls (like buttons/menu options) are enabled in FrmMain.

I want to learn how to add the menu options that appear when you click your right mouse button.So far I have a normal menu strip control, rich text box control and I have added a ContextMenuStrip control.
I have not got a clue on how to set the properties for the contextmenustrip on the richtextbox control, so when the user clicks the right mouse button the contextmenustrip appears.

I would like to have threads created and perform selected operations for a menu. Basically there are 3 options and for each option, a thread should go ahead and perform that operation whilst the option is available to select other options if the operation is running and not interactive. I have tried it and after correcting a lot of compiler errors its not running correctly with one thread hanging and not giving the option to select another process.

The user right clicks on my picturebox object. Good.When that happens, some code of mine executes and will generate a list of options.Then a menu appears where the mouse right-clicked, made up of these options.When the user clicks on one of these options, the menu is deleted and some code is run given the option index as parameter.How can I tell when the user right clicks? I can see an event handler for "click", but that includes left clicks.How do I create one of these menus? I mean, go ahead and right click something. That's the kind of menu I'm looking for.

I have an app that has a console menu with 2/3 selections. One process involves uploading a file and performing a lengthy search process on its contents, whilst another process involves SQL queries and is an interactive process with the user. I wish to use threads to allow one process to run and the menu to offer the option for the second process to run.However you cannot run the first process twice.

Dim tm As Thread = New Thread(AddressOf loadFile)
Dim ts As Thread = New Thread(AddressOf reports)

know how to insert standard items to a menu strip. And I wonder how I can get access to those standard icons like the ones that are used for New, Open and Save? I know how to place an image on an existing menu command. For instance, how can I place the generic New icon on Export or Exit (without using copy & paste)?

I've just started out fiddling with WPF in Expression Blend and now I'm trying to design a "normal Windows GUI" interface with a menu at the very top and some other stuff which takes up the rest of the window.Which panel do I use to make the menu always stay at the very top, take up only as much height as it needs to fit the menu items and fill the entire width of the window, in such a way that I can just fill in other panels and what-not in the rest of the window?

My latest project is to write an app that has a drop-down menu where I can choose different office locations. Once a choice is made I want a handful of different buttons which would vary between location choice. When a button is clicked it will install a printer. I've got the button and install part down but don't know where to start with the dropdown and showing different options upon choice.

i have various options in my app, some complex some not, these 2 save on application exit and reload on application start themes, and layouts. There selected via a comobox each.So onto the question, how does everyone create options menus? With out using a menustrip/toolstrip?
The method i was using , was to have a picture box show a panel when it was clicked on, the panel had all the various options etc on it. This idea worked great, but meant working in design mode was a pain because the panel and everything on it had to be moved round to see the items under it on the form.
So today i decided to see what other ways i can implement a menu, and i changed it so the picturebox/button now opens a dialog, and all the options etc are on that dialog, this works great except options such as the combobox 1 and combobox2 last used setting (text data binding) doesn't load when the application is started, they only load when you go into the options. Which defeats the point, if a users going into the options just to load the settings its useless them been saved.
The time to initialize the dialog (for it to appear and be click able) is 5 - 15 seconds, not alot i know but the 1st method of using a panel it initializes instantly, but then its never really closed just made hidden, so i uses more system resources.So how does every one else implement there options menu?

As you can see from the screen shot I have managed to get MDI Parents / Child forms working, and managed there to be a menu option on the Parent form that displays all the Child forms opened at the time. What I was wondering, and as of yet through research haven't discovered, is there a way when the list of windows is created, if a user highlights any child in the list it opens a sub-menu from its name (eg. Rename Window, Center Window, etc).

I have this code below that I called a Conversion Wizard Because it converts temperature, weight and currency. It works so far but I am stuck. I don't know how to apply the correct loops to it. For example, Do While and Do Until. I want it to be able to work out a conversion then loop back to the Menu-options. So that you can do as many conversions as you like and end when option 4 is selected.
Option Explicit On
Module ConversionWizard
Sub Main()
Dim userOption As Integer
Dim farenHeight As Integer

I'm using the code from the following site to create a file manager within my app: [url]Which, I think is great. When I first started programming, I wanted to use this code, but I couldn't understand it. I love how now, I understand most of it and know how to implement it. Which, I owe much of my progress to some of you at this site Well, back to what I was saying. I want to be able to make a right click menu and have it access options like copy, paste, etc. I'm sure I can figure that out, but I can't seem to figure out how to make a right click menu.I thought I could manipulate a menustrip, but I wasn't sure how.

Is there another way to add a Context Menu to a ToolStrip other than using the MouseDown Event? I want to use it to let people select to either show text labels on buttons in the ToolStrip or turn them off.
