I want my console application to be able to do one function I have when you click one option on the windows context menu, and another function when you click another option.
View 3 RepliesI did some research and i found that i will need to edit the registry.So if i make a folder called "Get Path" in the ContextMenuHandlers folder.When i click on the file in windows explorer or desktop etc i will have the option called "Get Path".Now for the value key what do i put inside?What i want is when the user right - clicks on the file my program starts up and displays the path of that file on a msgbox or listbox. I was thinking of letting the Windows Installer (.msi) doing this for me.

View 1 RepliesVB express 2008 .net 3.5 or .net 4.0 VB express 2010?I have written application to convert RTF to HTML. The main Purpose of the application is to copy VS code to the clipboard and covert it then put it back into the clipboard as a HTML Document so that it can be pasted into a HTML document such as Windows Live Mail. I found that code copied and pasted is spaced out in in the wrong positions.
The applications works perfect with no bugs so far. I then asked Myself how to go about doing the copy with the least amount of operator interaction. So I added an Icon to the Icon Tray with a right click menu to use to convert once the Rich Text Format was copied to the clipboard. This works fine except you have Five steps, Select the text, Copy to clipboard, Right Click the icon, Select the Converter and Paste. The normal is three steps.
To this the best solution is to add a context menu item to the active form such as the RTF editor or window. So that when you select the Rich Text to copy and right click on the form to bring up that menu then to Just Select the menu Item such as "Copy RT and Convert" I searched and found about 544000 Items and tried to restrict down to no avail. I read until I finally gave up. I did not find any code examples of this. Almost every thing I found related to the web or some other explicit document like Excel and not to the Various windows that could be active with RT in it.
how do you add a context menu item to the context menu of an active rich text format window such as WordPad or VB?I have test in my application that tests to see if it is a RTF in the clipboard so if it is not the converter does nothing.

For example, I've installed anti virus, if i right click on my desktop there is a there is a new item within the right click list which lets my right click on files and scans. What I want to know is, how to I add my application into the right click menu, how to get my application to respond when I click on the entry in the right click menu and any other thing anyone thinks will be useful. I have never done this before, and I have never been taught in class.
View 1 RepliesWorking in the interface I find it very frustrating that when you double click something in a form, it automatically enters code that you have to delete, then exit out when you were only trying to single click. Is there any way to disable this double click feature? Or possibly change it so if you press CTRL and click it automatically brings up the Code?

i want to put a menu item for my application to the right click menu of windows explorer.I do not want to do it programmatically but i want to do it with the .NET installer.Until now i have found that i have to insert into the registry the following keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/shell/MyApplication/command
and i have to put there a new value of
"[TARGETDIR]MyApplication.exe" "-file=%1"
The problem is that i want to be able to select multiple files and then call my application with parameter all of these files.Now when i right click with many selected files my application is run for each file sepparately.I want to run my application only once and with an input parameter of all the files that are selected.Also until now i cannot add a value to the (Default) key. It only adds a new value to the registry...Also i want to be able to do the same thing with folders...
I have a flowlayoutpanel populated with custom thumbnail controls. I have code set to display a context menu on the thumbnail controls and the panel. Once a page is displayed, I have to right click on a control twice before the menu will be displayed. I have debugged and followed code execution all the way down the line. There seems to be no difference in code execution on the first click which does not display a context menu, and the second click which does. After a context menu is displayed, everything is normal. All thumbnails will display context menus as they should. But...not the panel....I have to do the same to the panel, then it is fine.

I have a ContextMenuStrip click event. I was hoping to use this whenever a user clicked onto the ContextMenuStrip or one of its subitems. I have noticed that it does not fire when the user clicks on the sub items. Is there another click event that includes both the main menu And its sub items. Note that I also have added individual events to the individual menu items and sub items to capture specific code for these items. As such, I already know that I can use these events and call my desired code snippet in each of these if I have to. However I was wondering if there was another general click event that captures all the items (main + sub).

I'm hoping someone can help me here. I've been having trouble positioning a Contextmenu when a user right clicks a specific column within a Datagridview.
The Contextmenu is just a list of names and whatever name is selected then populates the 'Right-Clicked' Cell. My problem is the Contextmenu appears in the top left of the screen. I would like it to appear where the user 'Right-Clicked'
Here's the code I am using witih Datagridview1_CellMouseClick1
[Code]...
I'm a newbie and it's taken me a while to get it to work this far. I did originally assign a Contextmenu to the Datagridview Column, and it appears very neatly where the user 'Right-Clicked'
Unfortunately doing it this way I couldn't populate the Cell. So decided to use the method that I have posted above.
I have a context menu strip on my application but I would like to associate it when a user right clicks on a list box in my application. The context menu appears on my mouse right click event in my listbox, but it appears at the top of my application instead of where I right clicked. How do I associate the list box control with the contextmenu.
NOTE: Maybe there is another control besides a contextmenu that I want to use here.
I have a panel on my form, and at runtime I create 19 panels within it. Each of these panels then holds a rich text box, and a picturebox.I'm feeding the content to the picturebox and the richtextbox from twitter, but I'd like to make a ContextMenuStrip for each image at runtime, to reply/retweet/view that user's profile.I have a sub for reading tweets, but I'm not sure how I'd have the context menu customize for each image to contain the user id.I can't for the life of me think of a way to pass the twitter information to the context menu to facilitate this.Here's a sample of the code I'm using (it runs in a foreach loop) to populate the controls create at runtime.
int_pnl = int_pnl + 1
int_wbb = int_wbb + 1
Dim pnl_contain As New Panel

below here is a picture of the form itself in use, to try and show what's being done above.
I drag menu strip on the form..Now I add two menu items...I want that when the user right click on Item1, ContextMenuStrip1 should be shown.
Sir with your code,Contextmenu is shown,when i right click on toolstip..
I have tried the foll. Code
Code: Private Sub Item1ToolStripMenuItem_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Item1ToolStripMenuItem.MouseUp ContextMenuStrip1.Show(DirectCast(sender, ToolStripMenuItem).GetCurrentParent.PointToScreen(e.Location)) End Sub
But the probs is that when i right click on Item1ToolStripMenuItem(drop down menu),context menu is shown...but drop down menu is diappeared,I dont want the drop down menu to be disappeared..
