I have an application that is simply an icon that sits in the system tray, with a context menu that opens upon right-clicking. One of the options in the menu is a text box where the user can enter a number, and press enter to perform a specific action (which is not significant to my question). The problem with this, however, is that if the mouse moves away from the text box, the menu closes.
Is there a way to keep the menu open as long as the text box has focus no matter what?
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.

How to put my video player to the context menu? But I also need to know how to make it so that when my video player opens that it will it will load the file that I wanted to open with my video player.
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)
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]

Is it possible to programatically block users for accesing the context menu on files listed after showing an openfiledialog control that comes with the .net framework?
The intent is to block them from accessing "open" or "open with" and only allow them to pick a file from the list.
My only other idea is to build my own control instead of using System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
