Creating A ToolStripButton With A For Each?
Jun 17, 2011
I have a toolstrip in my main form, at the bottom. The main form has menus that lead to other forms. I am trying to get a button to appear on the toolstrip each time a form opens. My button creation code works. Here is what I have so far:
Public Sub buttons()
'Each form has a Me.FormClosing and MyBase.Load event that links to this sub.
ToolStrip1.Items.Clear()
ToolStrip1.Items.Add(ToolStripDropDownButton1)
For Each frm As Form In My.Application.OpenForms
[Code]...
I have tried using the Tag property to choose the form, but it hasn't worked.I have also tried using the My.Application.OpenForms property to open the form, but this also hasn't worked.I really don't fancy using loads of If Then Else statements to hide and show buttons that have already been created, as this seems rather messy.

I have a textbox, a standard button and a toolstrip containing a couple of buttons. In the validating event of the textbox i coded to check whether it is blank. If yes then it shows a message 'Enter Value'. When the standard button is clicked while the textbox is empty, it's validating properly and showing the message but when the toolstripbutton is clicked it's not not validating the textbox and no message is being shown. It seems that I gotto write the validation code explicitly in the toolstripbutton_click event which is too troublesome when there are multiple textboxes and toolstripbuttons on a single form. What I want to know is whether the textbox_validating can be fired while the toolstripbutton is clicked? Handling toolstrips is really a headache. I'm badly in need of it.

My ToolStripButtons look flat. They are highlighted when pressed, but they don't look like buttons do. I want them to look like they're not pressed in and then press in when click with the mouse. How can I get this effect?

Dim rect1 As New Rectangle(0, 0, e.ToolStrip.Width, e.ToolStrip.Height)
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(borderPen, rect1)

I want to display a ContextMenu when a user clicks a ToolStripButton. I'm using the following code to do so, and it works great, but I want to prevent re-displaying the ContextMenu when the user clicks the ToolStripButton when the ContextMenu is already visible.
If Me.ToolFilter.Checked = False Then
Me.ToolFilter.Checked = True
Me.ContextFilter.Show(Me.ToolStandard, New Point(Me.ToolFilter.Bounds.X, Me.ToolFilter.Bounds.Bottom))
Me.ToolFilter.Checked = False
End If

I'm making an MDI child window switcher (to set focus on selected child) sort of in a windows-style taskbar at the bottom of the program. I've got things set up so that when a child window is opened, a toolstripbutton is created and added onto the toolstrip and contains the window number and window type (what the window does). All that runs very well, but when I want to close a child form, I need to dispose the button that corresponded to it. I tried something like this:
For Each C As Control In frmClient.Controls
If TypeOf C Is ToolStrip Then
For Each tButton As ToolStripButton In C.Controls
[Code]....
But nothing happens at all. Is there a practical method to do this or am I missing something?

I have an editable datagridview that's been databound with dataadapter and datatable, and a normal button on a form. When i edit the dgv's cells and click the save button it fires the datagridview_cellvalidating event and if the cell validation is correct it updates and saves the current record to the datasource. Also, before save it commits change in any cell under editing. But when I use a toolstripbutton to do the same work, though it saves the dgv records but doesn't update the current change i.e. it saves the old records that are being fetched when the dgv was populated first during form load. Also, clicking the toolstripbutton doesn't fire datagridview_cellvalidating, datagridview_rowvalidating etc events. What it seems to be is it's not committing the change in any cell under editing. [Code]
Why isn't it happening and how can I make it work? how can I fire datagridview_ cellvalidating, datagridview_rowvalidating and other events; and commit cell value change by clicking toolstripbutton.

I have a favorites bar in my web browser and when I display them on a toolstrip as a toolstripbutton but the bookmarks are stored as a string collection in my.settings and It only displays the url of the bookmark (not the document title of the site)Is there a way to have a toolstripbutton that has the text of the Document Title of the url and the url as the tag of the toolstrip button?

I usually use standard button and do the settings like causevalidation etc if required.
i decided to use toolstrip and inserted some buttons but end up that it doesn't do the validation for control and also doesn't call leave event of textbox control.
so my question is, anyway to use regular button functionality for toolstripbutton or there is a way to add regular button on toolstrip.

I only have a very basic knowledge of VB but am trying. Basically I want to run a script that will add this website to the trusted site of users. We will have hundreds who need this and want to create a script to speed it along. I will be adding other things to the script as time goes on but this is the first step.

I'm looking to create an API for a website I have built. The API will be built in ASP.Net - probably using VB and will need to be consumed by multiple platforms including PHP. I've read a bit about REST vs. SOAP APIs and am confused about which route I should go. I also need some examples and frameworks I can use to get started.

I am trying to learn how to create a DLL in C (using Visual C++ 2010) for use in Visual Basic (2008 Express). I am a novice programmer, so please bear with me. My objective is to learn how to do starting with a very simple function, and I foundC++.html This examples presented in that tutorial are for Visual C++ 6 and VB6. I know there are differences between VB6 and VB2008, so maybe this is why I am running into problems following this example. In Visual C++, I created the DLL as a Win32 project. The function is simply summing two integers. I put the function "sum" in the source file "dllmain.cpp."

Is there any C# .NET ORM that can create databases? It should be capable of creating MS + MySQL + PostGre + Oracle databases at least.And I don't mean tables or schemas, I mean the database only.I use nHibernate, but it can only create tables and schemas, and query/insert but not creating the database itself.

I'm building a simple udp lan chat application in vb.net and I'm wondering how I should split my packets. Each sent packet should have like an id, a username and ip address from where it's coming and maybe also a command part for like join or leave to update my userlist and a text message. I'd like to know what is the easiest way to put all this in a simple packet then easily split and access different parts from it when it's received. thanks.I'm using UDP since this is only in lan so i'm broadcasting to *.*.*.255
What I want to know is what would be the most easy and powerful way to format my packets so they include a username , an id, a command and a text message, then the user receiving it decrypt it to show only the message written by which user or if it's a command like join or leave to show the appropriate message of joining and add the user to the list for exemple.

I have a vb.net web app, and I need to give my users the facility to download a ms-word .doc file. This file needs to be created dynamically, and should contain some bold text and a table.
I've come across this code, which builds a .doc file, and lets you download it:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim strFileName As String = "GenerateDocument" + ".doc"
[Code]....
...but I don't know how to make the text bold, or create a table. I'm sure there's a better way.
