View 1 RepliesI have a context menu strip on my application but I would like to associate it when a user right clicks on a list box in my application. The context menu appears on my mouse right click event in my listbox, but it appears at the top of my application instead of where I right clicked. How do I associate the list box control with the contextmenu.
NOTE: Maybe there is another control besides a contextmenu that I want to use here.
Windows form, it has a section with Tabs, in those tabbed areas there are menu strips. Also on the form there are buttons, and 1 menu strip not on a tab control.
The following work with one click; buttons.
The menustrip take 2 clicks. However after the form has been clicked for the first time, they only need one click to operate. Take the focus away from the form, set to always be on top and repeat above.
What I need is this
1./ stay on top (Done)
2./ Buttons single click (Done)
3./ Menu strip single click

View 3 RepliesI want to have a NotifyIcon in the system tray that when clicked, opens a context menu on the NotifyIcon with several options that open different forms.
I have read I need to use a ContextMenu and after Google'ing and trying out various code I can't seem to get it working
I am using a toolstripDropdownbutton on the toolstrip to populate the
menuItems.The toolstrip is on the customtaskpane of the window.
Problem comes when the focus is on the customtaskpane, user opens a dropdown menu and without selecting any menu from the dropdown click on the other part of the window. The dropdown remains open and even the user switch to other window it remains open and does not hide. It only hide when user click on the dropdownbutton itself.
Note : I had set AutoClose property to Flase

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 have two custom action listers. One that handles Mouse.Click and one that handles Mouse.MouseDown. My question to you is, can I delay the mouse down event so that it does not intefere with the code of the Mouse.Click event? I have tried adding a timer and waiting x amount then setting a bool value to true, but the code executes to fast and it skips the other code.

This was a guess, after looking at the Form.ShowDialog method in reflector.My question is, is there a managed call I can make to acheive the same result, and what does a button click do that other clicks don't?

I am new to VB.NET, Now i'm working with Events in VB.NET, I have two event methods, Mouse Click and Mouse Down for a single button in a form, I have displyed a message in each of these methods but only mouse down event is triggered. Why Mouse Click is not triggered? Similiarly I Did the same for Mouse Enter and Mouse Move for a particular button, in this case both the events are triggered.

View 4 Replieshow to raise the mouse leave and mouse hover events for VB when i place my mouse cursor over the button.
When my mouse cursor is over the buttons, it will raise the mouse hover event and open the form, then when the mouse leaves the button, it will close the form upon raising the mouse leave event.
but currently, When i excute this two events, the for will open and close very,very fast. so fast that it is like spamming the VB.
So i am wondering how to change the code that i have to excecute the event one time every time the mouse is over the button which is created at run time.
the codes to execute these two events are:
Private Sub Button_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
For Each ctl As Control In PictureBox1.Controls

[URL] I have tried heslacher's method which is Hi clzanas, you problems had been the result of calling a for each loop inside the events. If you only want for the button you hoover / leave to call the ShowDetails.Open/close, then you can take the code below:
Private Sub Button_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
If TypeOf sender Is Button Then
ShowDetails.Close()
[code]....
But i got the same results as my previous code, resulting in the form opening and closing so fast that it is like spamming the window.
