I want to have a drop down menu with the values:
Year 7
Year 8
Year 9
And I want to display different tables for each the values selected in the drop down menu. For example, when the "Year 7" value is selected in the drop down menu, a table is displayed for that year.
I have to write an application that consists of mainly one main form, but several different things I wanna display. Pretty standard I guess. So there is a menu, some controls, and the main stuff below (ranging form graphs, tables, dropdown boxes, print preview, etc). I would like to use it like one would use frames in html, design an object that is limited to a box or panel that I define. The literature I have does not give me a clear idea of how to do this (yet). The most obvious seem to be the use of MDI, open a predefined form with no borders, maximize it before showing and remove all minimize/maximize options. But that does not work so well. The form inside the MDI parent does not fit the size that is given for it when it is loaded. e.g.
[CODE]:......................
So my main question is: Is MDI the way to go here at all or are there better/easyer ways to achieve this? If MDI is the way to go, how do I sucessfully restrict a child form inside another object, without giving the user any opportunity to resize (i noticed that I have minnimize/maximize/close buttons, even if I disable them on the child forms themselves)
I have a list of servers in the first dropdown. I want to get list of all databases in the second dropdown depending on the server selected in the first dropdown.

I'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).

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
Private Sub LanguageSelectDialog_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub
[Code]....
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.
Other 2 things that I didn't figured out:
- how can I make a form unresizable?
- how can I make the dropdown menu not editable?
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.
View 2 RepliesI have two drop down boxes in my program. When you select an item from the first drop down, it populates select-able items in the second.

what is the best way to load dropdown lists from reference/lookup tables for a desktop application? the application is layed out into 3 tiers. I've built up my entities.the front end has a form with 6 tabs. and one big save (another discussion :)Should I load them all when the form is initially loaded? Are there any caching mechanisms I could use?

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?
How do I remove the area in a dropdown menu where the menu item icons are typically displayed?
I just need to remove the grey area in this particular dropdown, other dropdowns of menu items in the same menu bar need to retain this area because they do have icons.

I have a toolstrip along the top of my program. There is a right aligned drop down button that displays a menu. I have a 2 monitor system, and for some reason, the menu wants to open up on the other screen - the screen the program isn't on. How can I keep this menu on the proper screen?
