How To Add Recent File History (Last 3) To Main Menu
Mar 11, 2011
How to add a file history to my Main Menu. I open my windows application and select a txt file to open called "File 1". Later I open "File 2" and "File 3". I have now closed the windows application. A day later I open my windows application again. How do I view the recent files selected to my FILE menu? For example, I would expect to see "File 1", "File 2", and "File 3" under recent files. This would allow the user to easily reference the past recent files that were opened. Word and Excel have the feature and I am sure it can be done in VS2005.

I open a context menu by right clicking it.
It stays open when the cursor leaves it.
I click a main menu item.
The drop down opens at the top left of the screen.
Not under the main menu item I clicked.
I want to search the Internet but can't guess what key words to use.

My solution includes 9 projects, each project includes lots of forms. I want to make History menu, it's alike Windows Menu in Visual Studio. When I work in one form, it will save this form name in History Menu, so that I can reopen this Form after that, we can choose the number of Forms saved in History Menu.

I'm trying to load the most recent file from a directory, but my following code doesn't work. Am i getting something obvious terribly wrong?!
Dim myFile = Directory.GetFiles("C:UsersJoeDesktopXML Logs").OrderByDescending(Function(f) f.LastWriteTime).First()
I get two error messages:
Data type(s) of the type parameter(s) in extension method 'Public Function OrderByDescending(Of TKey)(keySelector As System.Func(Of String, TKey)) As System.Linq.IOrderedEnumerable(Of String)' defined in 'System.Linq.Enumerable' cannot be inferred from these arguments. Specifying the data type(s) explicitly might correct this error.
And:
'LastWriteTime' is not a member of 'String'.

I'm a beginner VB.Net programmer using VS 2008.I'm planning a new winform project whose main form should look more or less like this:
[Code]...
The user can either choose from the Main Menu (by clicking an item) or enter the item number in the textbox. For example, if the user clicks DoSomething3 in the Main Menu (or alternatively enters 3 in the textbox), another form will be opened and hide the main form.What would be the best way to implement it?Specifically, I would like to know how I make so that choosing from the menu and entering a number in the textbox fire the same event.

I have a main form that is set to be an MDI Container (IsMDIContainer - True). I have a number of child forms to that parent. When I first display a child (Maximized and .Dock= DockStyle.Fill) in the MDI Window, all is fine, but if I click the maximize button to bring the child down into the MDI window, then click the maximize button again to dock it again, the size of my menu in the main form doubles. I have that main menu setting "Allow Merge = False."

Any way I can set parent of the MainMenu control? I don't want to use other controls because there is no windows 7 or vista style as in picture. Other controls have just ugly blue and white color. When I add MainMenu it sets position on top of the form. I want to set MainMenu Parent to one Panel. Other controls have just ugly blue and white color.

I'm trying to make a main menu which accepts user input and then checks inputted password for validity against passwords I hardcoded into an array. Firstly, in the for loop, only the first password index is being checked. I'd like the inputted password to be checked against EACH password inside the ValidPasswords() array.
Second, My for loop isn't doing what I want it to do. I'd like to give the user 3 chances to enter a password... If he/she exceeds 3, it tells them they've tried 3 times and exits the form. Right now, it just loops 3 times and exits without giving the user a chance to try again. If I put a return statement in, it just keeps returning and doesn't loop 3 times.
Public Class frmMain
Dim ValidPasswords() = {"1234", "2222", "8918", "9911"}
'Dim ValidPWList As New List(Of String)
[Code]......

I am new to VB, I am currently trying to make a basic Lottery application for me and a few friends. I have a couple of questions regarding that. Basically the reqs are:
1) we should be able to input for 2 lotteries (super 7 and pick 3) the amount of money spend individually. IN a separate menu Should be able to input the winning numbers for past draws, in a notepad or access.
2) Should be able to see the most picked 3 numbers in the previous draws for both the lotteries.
Question. Say I have menu entries: Lotteries- Pick 3 and Super 7. This is my main form. If I go pick 3, enter last draw numbers should it open up a new form or can I just repaint and work in the same form?

I have a project (Written in Visual Basic, using Visual Studio 2005) which has several user controls. I have had no problem setting it up where you click a button and it load a user control, but I cannot get it to remove the control that is currently open. For example The program opens on a starts screen, which has the choices, Control1, Control2, and exit. When you click Control1 button it should open up a screen to display an inventory. It does this just fine, but it does not close the main menu screen.
Here is the code for the initial startup of the project:
Public Class Form4
Public Sub Form4Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim CtrlMain As New ControlMain()
With CtrlMain
.Location = New Point(0, 0
[Code] .....

I want to clear the history in an open file dialog, so that previous opened files won't be shown if a user clicks on the drop down arrow behind "File name". I have created an open file dialog and named it "ofd_openen".
Then I 've tried:
ofd_Openen.SafeFileNames = False
and also
ofd_Openen.FileNames.Clear()
but that doesn't work.

I would like to add in a section for recorded high scores but have no idea how to attempt this at all.
