My latest project is to write an app that has a drop-down menu where I can choose different office locations. Once a choice is made I want a handful of different buttons which would vary between location choice. When a button is clicked it will install a printer. I've got the button and install part down but don't know where to start with the dropdown and showing different options upon choice.

How do i change the Hover color of menu items and dropdown menu items to orange including the background color which holds icons in menustrip dropdown.....
As i'm learning more and more about developing ive just got my head around creating classes and modules, i started wondering about something to do with configuration of applications where deployment is in a more diverse environment say in a company where different branches dont need access to all parts of a program, so i thought id throw the question out there in a basic sense and get some feedback. so i can go off and do some more reading and learning.
So the scenario in my head is like this.
So we have for arguments sake FrmConfig which is the master configuration form, then we have FrmMain which is the root menu our application general user interfaces with. So here based on what options are checked as enabled in FrmConfig effects what controls (like buttons/menu options) are enabled in FrmMain.
I want to learn how to add the menu options that appear when you click your right mouse button.So far I have a normal menu strip control, rich text box control and I have added a ContextMenuStrip control.
I have not got a clue on how to set the properties for the contextmenustrip on the richtextbox control, so when the user clicks the right mouse button the contextmenustrip appears.
I would like to have threads created and perform selected operations for a menu. Basically there are 3 options and for each option, a thread should go ahead and perform that operation whilst the option is available to select other options if the operation is running and not interactive. I have tried it and after correcting a lot of compiler errors its not running correctly with one thread hanging and not giving the option to select another process.

The user right clicks on my picturebox object. Good.When that happens, some code of mine executes and will generate a list of options.Then a menu appears where the mouse right-clicked, made up of these options.When the user clicks on one of these options, the menu is deleted and some code is run given the option index as parameter.How can I tell when the user right clicks? I can see an event handler for "click", but that includes left clicks.How do I create one of these menus? I mean, go ahead and right click something. That's the kind of menu I'm looking for.
View 2 RepliesI have an app that has a console menu with 2/3 selections. One process involves uploading a file and performing a lengthy search process on its contents, whilst another process involves SQL queries and is an interactive process with the user. I wish to use threads to allow one process to run and the menu to offer the option for the second process to run.However you cannot run the first process twice.

My app has a nice menu strip, with two tool strips, one containing file options, and other contanining options options (oO)The bad part is... the options toolstip has two subitems that should be excluse. Like: I click one, other gets unclicked and become not functional.I've tried it, but with no sucess.
View 4 Repliesi have various options in my app, some complex some not, these 2 save on application exit and reload on application start themes, and layouts. There selected via a comobox each.So onto the question, how does everyone create options menus? With out using a menustrip/toolstrip?
The method i was using , was to have a picture box show a panel when it was clicked on, the panel had all the various options etc on it. This idea worked great, but meant working in design mode was a pain because the panel and everything on it had to be moved round to see the items under it on the form.
So today i decided to see what other ways i can implement a menu, and i changed it so the picturebox/button now opens a dialog, and all the options etc are on that dialog, this works great except options such as the combobox 1 and combobox2 last used setting (text data binding) doesn't load when the application is started, they only load when you go into the options. Which defeats the point, if a users going into the options just to load the settings its useless them been saved.
The time to initialize the dialog (for it to appear and be click able) is 5 - 15 seconds, not alot i know but the 1st method of using a panel it initializes instantly, but then its never really closed just made hidden, so i uses more system resources.So how does every one else implement there options menu?
I have a text box field for which I want to use a couple of custom commands accessible via a context menu. I can add my custom context menu to my text box, but then I lose the standard windows ones (i.e. Undo, copy, paste, etc).
What I really want is a context menu with both my custom options and the standard windows options. I want that to take place only within my application (i.e. not like a shell extension).
As you can see from the screen shot I have managed to get MDI Parents / Child forms working, and managed there to be a menu option on the Parent form that displays all the Child forms opened at the time. What I was wondering, and as of yet through research haven't discovered, is there a way when the list of windows is created, if a user highlights any child in the list it opens a sub-menu from its name (eg. Rename Window, Center Window, etc).

I don't know how to apply the correct loops to it. For example, Do While and Do Until. I want it to be able to work out a conversion then loop back to the Menu-options. So that you can do as many conversions as you like and end when option 4 is selected.

I'm using the code from the following site to create a file manager within my app: [url]Which, I think is great. When I first started programming, I wanted to use this code, but I couldn't understand it. I love how now, I understand most of it and know how to implement it. Which, I owe much of my progress to some of you at this site Well, back to what I was saying. I want to be able to make a right click menu and have it access options like copy, paste, etc. I'm sure I can figure that out, but I can't seem to figure out how to make a right click menu.I thought I could manipulate a menustrip, but I wasn't sure how.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make a user control similar to the Windows Vista/7 breadcrumb bar used in windows explorer. However, when I show the drop down menu for a breadcrumb with many sub items, I get a very long list that sometimes exceeds the screen size. In the Windows Vista/7 example however, there are a maximum of 18 items displayed at a time and a scrollbar appears at the right when the number of sub items exceeds this number (18).

I am trying to build a program that has a Dropdown menu (Combobox) where you select between a list of items like
xbox
ps2
ps3
wii
then once you select one of the options the program will bring you to a new window (In the same window) with a new box that has a list depending on which word you chose earlier. As an example.
If you chose xbox on the first window it will bring you to a window with a new list like
fighting game 2009
fighting game 2010
fighting game 2011
then if you select fighting game 2011 you would get another window that showed a list that had a list of characters from that game.
Guy One
Funny Hat Guy
Big Nose Guy
Dead Guy
Beast Thing
Funny Turtle Thing
Then in the new window you get a selection of options for the character you selected.
Special Skills
Combo Moves
Unlockable Content
Then if you select one of those you get a new window that has the lists. for example.
If you chose Special Skills show the list of special skills like the following.
Uppercut: Down + Y
Face Smasher: Back, Forward, B
and maybe beside the list of moves it could display an image of a Screen shot that shows the move (Or not if it is too complicated).
is it possible to have a drop down menu from a button, somewhat similar to windows right click on a file, except, click/double click a button. if you do answer, can you provide a sample code, let's say, option1 (on the drop down menu) get's text to change to bold, option 2 to italic, and so on..
View 6 RepliesI decided to make a small app that runs another app with arguments. I think the best way to do it was selecting one option from a dropdown menu and using this option as an argument to run the app.
The clean part I did: Public Class LanguageSelectDialog

End Sub

Since I'm just trying out, I've made an blank app just for testing purposes. What I need to do in order to pass the selected option as argument? I'm using VisualStudio 2010.

- how can I make the dropdown menu not editable?
