View 2 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.

i found this article to solve that problem >> Context Menus in VB.NET. However, the context menu only appear within the form.
For example, WinRar; you can see that application be listed in the context menu whenever you right-click on any file. I want to do like that... but how?

Is there no simple way to reference a resource to add an icon to said menuItems?

Using VB 2010 Express, I will try to explain what I want to achieve:1. The user installs my program.2. In an Explorer window (Vista/Win7) the user will right click any file.3. The program checks if there is an item called "MyApp" in the context menu (i.e. the menu with for instance the "Open with..." item). If not, then create the "MyApp" item which launches "TheRealApp.exe" that the user installed. Place the item after the "Print" item.

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.

View 2 RepliesI want my console application to be able to do one function I have when you click one option on the windows context menu, and another function when you click another option.
View 3 RepliesI want to create an application, that has a menu. Every menu option represents an action a user can choose. For some actions the user has to input a date and a string. For others the user has to choose from a list, and then some results are presented in a datagridview depending on his selection. Some actions mean that the user has to check some check boxes. etc. So there are quite a few controls needed in this application, and they cannot all be on the screen in the same time (obviously).I don't know how to design this:
-should I make a single form with all the needed controls in it and depending on the action the user selects some become visible and some hidden?
-should I design a form for every action he chooses and the forms become visible or hidden depending on the action the user chooses?
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.

View 10 RepliesI 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?
I have an application. If I press a button, a menu show up.
How do I get a handle to that menu?
I use spy ++. It seems that the menu is not a child of the button.
I use FindWindowEx but I don't think I got the right handle.
Here is another possibly related question

In VB.net they're both integer right?
