Creating A Global MenuStrip For App
Sep 4, 2009
Im creating a desktop app with multiple forms. My ideal aim is to create 1 MenuStrip to use throughout the different forms (the same MenuStrip) appears on the different forms. otherwise I'll be copying the MenuStrips from 1 form to another and copying the Event code. What is the best way of doing this? I've created UserControl, put my MenuStrip on it along with me Code, then I load an instance of it whenever a new form loads. This seems to work fine until I want close the Main Form. I've tried ' Me.Hide ' but that just hides the UserControl. So the MenuStrip appears on Form A, when i click a Menu Item I want it to close Form A and open Form B.

I am looking at creating a Dynamic Menustrip.I have managed to write the code to add subItems to a Item. The root item is called item1 and when the form is run, item1 gets populated by items called subItem[0-5].I am wondering how do I assign an action to a subItem when click? At the moment I want a message box to popup with the subItem's name that has been clicked. I.E If subItem3 is clicked, I want a msgbox to pop up with "subItem3".
code
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
For j As Integer = 0 To 4
Dim subItem As String = String.Format("subItem{0}", j.ToString())
[code]....

I have got a bit of code which creates an error when you start debugging. the code is:
Dim Gravitee As Decimal = TrackBar1.Value / 100
This code is a declaration (outside of a sub) so that it can be used in any subs I choose. I don't know why this causes an error?

Is it possible to create a variable that is global for each session in ASP.NET? Usually I do this with Session:
Session("my_variable") = 10
But this necessitates casting it every time I want to use it like so:
Dim my_variable as String = CInt(Session("my_variable"))

In the above example, I can select the Project 2 menu item.My problem is that when I hover over Project 2, it automatically expands Project 2 Task 1 and Project 2 Task 2. When I click on Project 2 Task 1, the menu "closes up" and all entries disappear which is what I want. However, when I click Project 2, the menu does not "close up" and all of the entries are still visible.

I have a MenuStrip control and when I right clicked on it and selected "insert standard items", it created a few functions. There are a few options there that I would like to get working: Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, and Select All. I presume that for what I want, I'd need to make my own classes for each function. (ie: Cut class, Copy class... etc.)
I would like to be able to do something similar to the example below:

I am using vb.net 2008. I have a MDI form with a menu strip added. From different menu's i calling related Exe's and opening in side the MDI form. In this case setting of MDIparent properties to the child form (Exe) in not possible. In my Exe i am reading my MDI windows handle and using the setparent API function. In this case the exe is opening inside the MDI below the titile bar but it is hiding the menu strip. (In vb6 it is working fine - Means the exe opens below the menu strip). Is their any way opening the exe below the menustrip or toolstrip.

Such:
CopyToolStripMenuItem
UndoToolStripMenuItem
And I can't figure out how to remove these items as I already deleted the parent items.I tried deleting it from the properties menu by pressing delete on it but it doesn't work.

When I try to set a MenuStrip Item calling it by name it gives me an exception?
An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in Sample.exe
Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Either of the following statements cause errors.
frmMenu.MenuStripfrmMenu.Items(key:="Enter").Enabled = False
frmMenu.MenuStripfrmMenu.Items("Enter").Enabled = False
However when I call Items using an integer it works perfectly.

I have found if you put a text box into a menustrip item everything under that menu no longer show it's properties when clicked and double clicking on the item does not got to the code until you click outside the menustrip. This behavior is only present when the menustrip render mode is system and only when a textbox is in that menu item. Fails with visual studio 2005 and 2010. Am using visual basic. Changing render mode from system to anything else makes everything work, change it back to system and it does not work. This only happens with a textbox in the menu strip item.

I'm having a spot of trouble working out how menustrip yet again.I have an MDI project. A child form contains a menustrip that has shortcut keys defined... F1 through F4 at design time. At run-time the child form menustrips are merged into the MDI parent form menustrip.The Function keys do not cause the menu to drop down. *Frutz* I thought okay. I'll use the control's keypress event to trap the F1 key and cause the menu item to drop down Apparently the menu Item is not available in the child form since it was merged to the MDI parent menustrip...*Frippity Frutz* Okay... Call the MDI parent menustrip from the child form...."No menustrip object found".
