View 4 RepliesVB 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.

View 3 RepliesI have a ContextMenuStrip click event. I was hoping to use this whenever a user clicked onto the ContextMenuStrip or one of its subitems. I have noticed that it does not fire when the user clicks on the sub items. Is there another click event that includes both the main menu And its sub items. Note that I also have added individual events to the individual menu items and sub items to capture specific code for these items. As such, I already know that I can use these events and call my desired code snippet in each of these if I have to. However I was wondering if there was another general click event that captures all the items (main + sub).
Private Sub ContextMenuStrip1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ContextMenuStrip1.Click
'Some code here

<ContextMenu Padding="0,2,0,2">

I have a flowlayoutpanel populated with custom thumbnail controls. I have code set to display a context menu on the thumbnail controls and the panel. Once a page is displayed, I have to right click on a control twice before the menu will be displayed. I have debugged and followed code execution all the way down the line. There seems to be no difference in code execution on the first click which does not display a context menu, and the second click which does. After a context menu is displayed, everything is normal. All thumbnails will display context menus as they should. But...not the panel....I have to do the same to the panel, then it is fine.
