Adding Menu Strip With Items To Form
Jun 18, 2012
1: I have to create an application that will dynamically add a menu strip with menu items to a form (i.e., NOT dragged and dropped onto the form) in Visual Basic. The menu strip should be created in the Form_Load event handler. I have to use a TextBox for user input. If the user enters information into the TextBox and clicks on the Add Button, the text should be added to a ComboBox control.
A Menu should then be created that must be added to the menu strip dynamically. There should be a second TextBox that will be used to add a new menu item to the menu that is currently selected in the ComboBox. When a menu item is selected, it must simply display a MessageBox with the items name (For example, adding a menu item called View would display a MessageBox with the message "View").
2: I have to create a quiz machine program in in Visual Basic with the following:
A menu strip that must be created programmatically (ie NOT dragged and dropped onto the form). There should be an exit option added to the menu strip that must exit the application.
A structure must be created to encapsulate all the questions and suggested answers. The structure must contain:
Question String
Answers Collection
Correct Answer String
When the form loads, 5 questions must be created in code using these structures. These 5 structures will then serve as the quiz. The user must be shown the first question, and have the option of browsing forwards and backwards through the quiz. The program should store saved answers to select the radio button when users cycle through. This can be done by any means possible, for example an ArrayList or SortedList.
I have to ensure that the suggested answers are randomized the first time the form loads only. Once the user has selected an answer for every question, the Submit button should be enabled. When the user clicks this button, the program must then evaluate the quiz and compare the users selected answers against the correct answer. A valid message must then be displayed via a MessageBox indicating the user's score.

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.

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 am making a program that is in need of labels changing and showing depending on what the user clicks on a file Dialog.
Everything works fine except for that when I change the labels, it uses the entire file path, and I ONLY want the file name. How would I be able to get JUST the file name?

I have a program which runs mainly though a NotifyIcon in the bottum right of my windows screen (XP). Whenever I open the ContextMenuStrip that appears when the icon is right clicked, a box also appears in the task bar. I also have nested menus inside the menu (mouse over one item leads to another menu), and each additional menu also creates a taskbar box upon appearing. So once I am at the third or fourth nested menu, there would be 3 or 4 windows appearing in the taskbar. After the menu disapears, so do the windows in the taskbar.How can I stop the taskbar from displaying boxes to represent these menus? I have done nothing in my code as far as I know to create this type of behavior. I have searched for similar problems but have found nothing similar. There is no "showintaskbar" property for these items as far as I can see, and no other property that I can find which would affect this. I have investigated the owner of the contextmenustrip since I read the owner may effect these type of behaviors, but that doesnt seem to be helpful as there isn't an owner property of the contextmenustrip.

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.

If I have setup a simple form named Fmain, in this form I have created a menu strip, this menustrip has a item showing a new for called Frfxcom. In this Frfxcom form I placed a textbox and used its databinding property for connecting to a local database pointing to a certain column in the database named " ip". The database wizard started and inserted some code, at that moment the errors "type not defined" showed up. Here is the automatic generated code:
<Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.DesignerGenerated()> _
Partial Class Frfxcom
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCode()> _

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)
Is some codings I have done incorrectly?
Here below is the coding:

I have a vb.net 2005 windows form with a menu strip that keeps disappearing both in design mode and when the program runs. I noticed that on other forms there are more properties listed for the menu than this one has. Anybody familiar with this problem?
I am using a split container with docking set to full below the menu but several other programs are set that way without any problems.
