Forms :: Button With Dropdown - Button With Default Text On It
Jan 1, 2010
What control should i use if i want a button with default text on it and when i press on it, it give a drop down menu that i can select different commands. I tried a combobox which seems to be very close to what i want. i set the dropdownstyle to dropdownlist so it looks like a button. but i cant seem to set a default text on the box and i dont want this text to be in the item list. also when i set the dropdownwidth to a value larger than the combobox width, it will align left.
Just a quick qquestion. My application opens a web browser window with the click of a button. Today it looks like this: Process.Start("[URL])(It's not this website, but this is just an example.) This will open the requested website with a specified number at the end of the adress.
I dynamically create buttons on a form and use the button text as ids so that I can pass that to an SQL query to pull saved data about that button when necessary, but I also use an image over buttons that have information saved about them. What I need to know is how do I keep the text on the button from appearing when there is an image assigned to that button? By default vb.net shows both the text and the image and no TextImageRelation values allow for the image to take precedence. I tried changing the text color to transparent, but the outline of the text is still visible through the image. Is there anyway to keep the text value as it is but just show the image on the button?
Main Form is my startup form and then 2 buttons on the form button 1 open form2 and main form hidden. button 2 closes and in the form 2 I have a textbox where I write some text and a button to save the text in a txt. File Once I've saved my text in txt. file so I click on a button that closes form2 and open main form My problem is that the button on the main form I should like to have button text is from the txt. file. And I do not know how I reload the button or form.
if I close the program and start it again, then my button text has change to what i write in txt file..
I am writing a program that programmatically generates buttons based on database information. The buttons CANNOT be more than 75,75 in size. The problem is, if the text is longer than 9 characters, it moves the rest on to a second line. How can I make the font size automatically adjust to have larger text if it can, and if not, have smaller text to fit on one line
I have built a program in where I have to add and remove items from two listboxes. Listbox1 consists of a file which I have picked up on my C:/. Within this file, are different lines of items. At the end of the item line is a figure. I have a textbox in where when someone adds the an item from listbox1 to listbox2. On clicking the add button, it will add the total which was in the file. If I add more items, it will give me a running total of the items I have added to listbox2.
Now, I'm bamboozled in how to subtract the items from listbox2 with the remove button. So that when a user wants to remove an item that they currently placed in Listbox2. On pressing remove it will subtract the running total from the item which has been removed.. Here is my code in where I add products to the textbox. I have two other text boxes which I use to have these running totals. FYI, Textbox where value is outputted is Textbox5. Textbox6 is used to refresh the data and the other textbox is named 'Total'.
Public Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click If ListBox1.SelectedIndex < 0 Then MsgBox("Please select a Batch")
I have created user control for menu bar and loading in Master page. User control has Link buttons. Now I want create drop down menu for one of Link buttons. I dont know, how to do that? Is there any other control that supports?
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..
Is there any way to do it with a standard toolstrip or I should write my own usercontrol for that?Basically, I need a drop-down button with another toolstip as a dropdown.
I have a data grid on my form with 6 columns. 5 of the 6 are combobox fields. When just looking at the datagrid all the drop down buttons on the left really clutter up the grid. Does anyone know a way to hide the drop down button on the combo box until the time the user actually clicks in the cell. I have tried changing the style to flat which helps but I would rather it wasn't visible at all until the user is actually in the cell.
ok, i've been able to figure out that i can add a button to a menubar (like the file edit view, ones at the top of most programs) and so far i have figured out:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click form1.MenuStrip1.Items.Add(TextBox1.Text)
Sorry about asking all of these questions, but I am making an app and I have had a request for when the user types into the text box he can automatically hit Enter and it will navigate to the specified destination. However I have tried EVERYTHING and I cannot get it to stay default when the user clicks the text box. So it's like this. The user clicks the text box.
I have a form with a button which is disabled by default, and a CheckedListBox with 68 items in it. What is the simplest way of enabling the button, when an item in the CheckedListBox is selected or unselected? I'm looking for something like If CheckedListBox1...any of the items state changes...Then Button1.Enabled = True End If
I want to find a way to make a specific button, the form's default button,I.e. the button that is highlighted when the form opens for the first time. I tried the AcceptButton property but when I run the program, that does not work.
I'm working on some project for Windows Mobile (Pocket PC 2003).And, i can't find AcceptButton property for Form object.how can I set default button property for Form in VB.NET project for Windows Mobile.And also CancelButton.
I have created a form to similate the use of a messagebox. The main reason for creating it is so I can specify an "action"button on it. I.e., instead of just offering Yes or No to the question "Are you sure you want to remove the record?", I can have an "action" button which says "Remove Record" and a No button.
The problem I am having is that I cannot get the No button to be the default button when I do form.showdialog. Instead the action button is the default button. At design time I set the No button as the AcceptButton. I also set it in the code, which I realize I should not have to do. Then I set Focus on the No button. I do the doevents just to be sure the code has finished manipulating the buttons.
I'm using gridview with templates to show and edit some information from a sql database.
When I edit and change the data in that row and then click enter it automatically presses the highest on page button which uses submit to server set to true which means it'll try to delete instead of update.
I've have tried setting a panel round the gridview and setting the panel's default button to the "updatebutton" but it won't allow that because it can't 'see' the buttons.
In design mode - how do I change the default back color of buttons? I am using a white font and can not see the writing with the back color. The backcolor is transparent so in runtime it is fine (back color goes to blue and white shows).
I come from using REAL Studio (formerly REALbasic)on the Mac + Windows.I just got MS Visual Studio and I am using the "Basic" language part of VS. in REAL Studio there is a property pane where you can select a button and make it the default button.I looked at the property pane in Visual Studio and couldn't figure out how to make one of my buttons the default button.
I've been scouring the Net, but I can't find anything really useful on how to set a default button in a user control (everythings for ASP). I can imagine the brute force method of handling the keypress for each control within the control and checking to see if the Enter key was pressed, and if so, calling a PerformClick on my desired button... But I just have difficulty imagining that this will be the best method, especially on Search Controls that have 30-40 subControls on them. I've tried just handling the KeyPress event at the control level but it never gets called when a sub control has focus.
Another problem with the brute force method is that some of the controls within my UserControls are themselves UserControls containing several controls, so I would have to handle each sub control within the sub-user-controls and create EnterKeyPressed events that were raised when one of the sub-sub-controls received an Enter KeyPress. This could go on for several levels. Then I would need to handle all these events. This seems like an unnecessary layer of complexity.
Is there some way to create a routine that perhaps automates the above? Or just a simple workaround? I know I can set the Accept and Cancel Buttons of a form, but I have a form with a TabControl that has a UserControl on each tab. Each one of these tabs needs its own Default Button.
I have a form that uses a button to draw a line and a second button to draw a rectangle. I have a third button to clear the form but can't find a code example to code the Clear button.
