View 7 RepliesI am using vb.net 2008. I have a MDI form with a menu strip added. From different menu's i calling related Exe's and opening in side the MDI form. In this case setting of MDIparent properties to the child form (Exe) in not possible. In my Exe i am reading my MDI windows handle and using the setparent API function. In this case the exe is opening inside the MDI below the titile bar but it is hiding the menu strip. (In vb6 it is working fine - Means the exe opens below the menu strip). Is their any way opening the exe below the menustrip or toolstrip.

View 12 RepliesThe last language I programmed in was Visual Basic 6.0.In VB 6.0, if I added menu items, the menu items would reduce the size of the container.For example, if the form had a height of 1000 and I added a menu item then the inside of the form would be 1000 - menu height.In 2010, if I add a MenuStrip control and dock it to the top and then I add another control and dock it to fill, the top part of the other control appears underneath the MenuStrip.I would like to make it so that the other controls I add to the form cannot resize above the lower part of the MenuStrip.

View 4 RepliesI want to include the clipboard from the menu strip of my MDI form, ie Cntrl/C and Cntrl/V. I need a more generic clipboard facility than the examples provided. I want to be able to copy from external programs, like Word, or controls within my program to either a Textbox, RichTextBox or whatever, of which there may be several, on a child form. In VB6 this was so simple, but I'm afraid it is proving frustrating, to say the least, in Visual Studio 2008. I have succeeded in getting data onto the clipboard from an external program, but my problem comes when trying to determine the active control on the child form to where I want to paste the data, so I know how to handle it.

One of the VBF member was asking how to add a close button on the BindingNavigator control once and reuse it on all other forms, so I try to create a custom bindingnavigator class that inherits the BindingNavigator class.Below is the inherited class:
[Code]...
The thing that I can't figure out is that it looks OK in design mode, but at run time, the custom binding navigator shows 2 "Close" buttons. Only one of them will close the form when clicked, the other one doesn't function. See the attached image.

I have an application that queries DHCP and pulls scope/subnet information. There are roughly 8k scopes on our network to query so reporting this data takes a little bit of time. I currently have this running on it's own thread and reporting to a progress bar so the applications doesn't seem inactive.
The DHCP api functions can report a total, a max read and a resume argument. This means that I can, in theory start 4 threads and have each thread read through 2k subnets, so it will only take 1/4 of the time to read all this data. Would I need to create four separate background worker handlers, do_works, runworkcomplete, report progress etc.?
I have put this code in the global form Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form. And then in the form that will inherit this from the global Inherits MenuStrip.
