I have a menu control (Menu1) and I want to add/remove items from the menu based on certain information I have stored about the authenticated user in the database. I'm not sure though how to access specific menu items from the menu control and remove them at runtime?
View 3 RepliesI have to create an application that will dynamically add a menu strip with menu items to a form(ie NOT dragged and dropped onto the form) in Visual Basic. The menu strip should be created in the Form_Load event handler. I have to use a TextBox for user input. If the user enters information into the TextBox and clicks on the Add Button, the text should be added to a ComboBox control.A Menu should then be created that must be added to the menu strip dynamically.

How can you add a click event to dynamically created menu item?I thought I could do something like
Loop through all the items in the Menu1.DropDownItems then create a mousedown even on the item and execute an action based off that.I'm new to VB and was wondering what logic to use. Will that even work? How will the events be saved through the life of the application?
I have my program set up to read the contents of a Directory, and then populate a drop down menu with the names of the files in the directory. (I am using the MenuStrip). Inside my program, it is also set up to create a new file in that directory, and I wish to add this item to the dropdown menu upon creation. The list is entirely created and populated from the code, and the contents of the list depend entirely on what's in the directory.
I have tried using MenuStrip.Items.Remove(menuItem1). Now, when this command gets executed, it does remove the top level Menu, however when I go to repopulate the menu, I end up with duplicates of my files listed in the drop down. I am stuck with how to clear these out as well?
I have a menu strip. In the menu strip I have something for some saved urls in the database, I called it Bookmarks. So I'm trying to fetch the items from the database and have it load in to the menu items.. but it keeps adding items and I only want them added once.

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.....
I have combed these forums and the 'net and can't find an answer to my specific problem. My menu strip disappeared (after deleting a small secondary form within my project). I therefore created a new strip and while recreating the menu items realized that the original menu items are still present, showing in my properties list. I have checked my design file as well and the original menu strip is definitely gone but the original menu items are there. I don't have many items so I would have no problem just deleting the original ones but I can't see them to delete them! I have checked and they are all set to visible. I have also moved everything on my form to see if it is behind anything else.

I am wanting to create a menu based on items in my MS SQL database i have 3 tables
FormTbl
FormID - Int Eg (1)
FormName - nvarchar(50) Eg (Form1)
[CODE]...................
I can get the form names to be populated in to the menu and can open it my question is how do i set where the menu items will be placed. Eg File with FormHierarch 0 will be the very first one. Exit with FormHierarch 0.1 will be the very first one under File
Private Sub Main_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim menu As New MenuStrip()

View 2 RepliesMy visual studio 2005 has been running great up till now The menu items in the menu toolbar display exactly as follows:File File Edit Edit View View File File Edit Edit View View Tools Tools Tools Tools Window Window Community Community Help Help Window Window Community Community Help Help
Error List is displayed as follows:(I've excluded the icons)0 Errors 0 Errors 0 Warnings 0 Warnings 0 Messages 0 Messages The standard toolbar images are also displayed in 'duplicate'
This is before I open a project and visual studio is on the start page. The 'duplicates' do not go away even when a project is open.When project is open, Solution explorer displays duplicate images as well
I've tried all the following but still cannot get it to display normally. Restored my computer to a time when it was working ok. Full scan on my computer with AVG premium which includes spyware etc (No viruses , etc found) All software is updated fully
I have the following linq statement to go through a dropdown menu's sub items and get what items are checked: vb Dim UnselectedItems = From xItem As ToolStripMenuItem In tsiSelectObjects.DropDownItems Where TypeOf xItem Is ToolStripMenuItem AndAlso CType(xItem, ToolStripMenuItem).Checked = False
I get this error tho: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripSeparator' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem'. As you can probably guess i have ToolStripMenuItems and separators in there
However the AndAlso should short circuit in the case where the item is not a ToolStripMenuItem and it doesn't seem to be doing so (as TypeOf xItem Is ToolStripMenuItem=false in this case)?
i have a listview box full of items, image below:
when i click a button i would like a msgbox to pop up displaying how many are alive.
How would i do this ?
Also how would i remove all items that status is "Dead"
Imports System.Collections.GenericI
mports System.Net
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form2
'Dim filename As String
Public ftpSettings As FtpClient
[Code]...
I don't know what's wrong, i can only move the 1st item but the second and so on doesn't make any changes. It remains in a listbox.
So I want it to remove any text in the list box that has a "Job" in it and just replace it with a blank nothing.
Like if the listbox looked like this
Yardjob
jobsong
redjob
then it would change it to this
Yard
song
red
I also would like a way of removing any blank items from the listbox.

View 6 RepliesWhat's the best way to dynamically remove method calls at runtime? Essentially what I'd like to do is pass a parameter to my application. Let's call the parameter level. Depending on the value of level, I'd like to essentially remove all the calls that have higher levels. I have the following but was wondering if there were a simpler/cleaner way to remove the calls:
Ideally I'd really like to write something like:
Log5("message")
And just have Log5 work or not call if it doesn't exist. My goal is to actually remove the call. The overhead for calling level 5 logs that test and return is fairly high and I rarely use it.
Module Module1
Delegate Sub Log(ByVal message As String)
Public Log1 As Log = Nothing
Public Log2 As Log = Nothing

View 1 Replieshow to delete a item from the context menu.. i can add a item with this code:
Private Sub Button7_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button7.Click
ContextMenuStrip4.Items.Add("delete file")
End Sub
no problem there. and to delete this item, i figured since it is the 4th item in the contextmenu (and i can't type the "delete file" either w/o error) it would delete it by index, with this code:
Private Sub Button8_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button8.Click
ContextMenuStrip4.Items.Remove(3)
End Sub
the (3) is giving me a error "value of type 'interger' cannot be converted to 'system.windows.forms.toolstripmenu'".. i think that means that the context menu does not support indexing.
I find myself copying single files to multiple different machines, so would like to create something to help.I would like a numericupdown, which dynamically adds text boxes (which will be destination file paths). I will obviously need it to remove them too when I decrease the number.
