i have develop a procedure to load a ContextMenuStrip with some items and sub items dinamically, but im having problems with the itemclick of the control where only items fire the event ItemClick, but not the the subitems of each item (How can items benn firering the event and not the subitems if both was created dinamically) this is my event
[Code]....
I have a context menu strip associated with a listview. Everything work just fine however one of my menu options on the context menu strip has a pop-out menu (you know, you hover over the selection, and another menu strip expands out).I can seem to get these to work correctly.
Public Sub ReleasedToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ReleasedToolStripMenuItem.Click
FileEntries(ListViewSelectedIndex).Status = "Released"
[code]....
So I changed my sub to read as the one VB created, and still didnt work. So I went back to edit the context menu, double clicked "Reserved" menu items, then VB creates a sub w/o the _1 (like I had before).Also the check-box status for these menu items works fine.
So I have a bit of a problem and maybe I'm going about it in the wrong way UNPOSSIBLE! :-D
All I'm looking to do is create a few popup menus using contextmenustrips, it seems reasonable enough to me. What I want to happen is when I mouse over a label I want it to open up the contextmenu and THEN close once I am off the label and the contextmenu strip WITHOUT having to click the form. so I can go up and down a set of labels and popup menus as I move the mouse over each. This has turned out to be much harder than I anticipated. :-o
So at first I though ok lets try this code below. But this just causes the menu to flicker I "thought" focus would go to the contextmenustrip but i doesnt seem that way
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Label1_MouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles label1.MouseHover
ContextMenuStrip1.Show(Label1, 20, 0)
End Sub
Private Sub Label1_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label1.MouseLeave
ContextMenuStrip1.Visible = False
End Sub
Private Sub Label2_MouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label2.MouseHover
ContextMenuStrip2.Show(Label2, 20, 0)
End Sub
Private Sub Label2_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label2.MouseLeave
ContextMenuStrip2.Visible = False
End Sub
End Class
So then I thought ok well I'll just try to have it where when I leave the contextmenustrip I'll close that. THIS WORKS but not exactly how I want it to I can hit a label then jump onto the menu then off to another label but cant go label to label up and down the form.
Private Sub ContextMenuStrip1_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ContextMenuStrip1.MouseLeave
ContextMenuStrip1.Close()
End Sub
Then I thought ok well how about something like
Private Sub Label1_MouseHover(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.MouseHover
If Label1.Focus Then
ContextMenuStrip1.Show(Label1, 20, 0)
Else
ContextMenuStrip1.Close()
End If
End Sub
But that didnt work either, I have another vb.net guy with me and hes all *shrug* I'm probably just going about this in the wrong way your suggestions are welcome. Thanks mucho everybody
I am formerly a VB6 programmer learning the .Net world of VB2008. I am confused and need assistance with the following.I am attempting to get a ContextMenuStrip to work on a DataGridView. I want my program to add the ContextMenuStrip and fill in its menu items. I would then like a right-click on a menu item to take me to a unique click event to handle the specific menu action.The example below is a simple form with a datagridview (1) and contextmenustrip (1). I could not get it to work without adding the ContextMenuStrip control manually.
View 6 RepliesI have a windows form application that has two tabs on it. On each tab there is a RichTextBox which i want the user to be able to copy, paste etc from within.I have tried to set this up but am finding that when i paste anything into the RichTextBox1 it is also copied into the RichTextBox2 on the second tab?My code is below, can you spot any errors with this? I only have 1 ContextMenuStrip within my form, should i have more than this?

I have a lowlevelkeyboard hook in my program. The keydown event checks the active window title to see if a microsoft word document is open, and when the letter 'y' is pressed a contextmenustrip is called. Everything works great except for the arrow keys. When the contextmenustrip is visible, the arrow keys will not select or move through items in the contextmenustrip. I set up some IF statements to check if the contextmenustrip is open, and when it is the up/down arrow keys select the next item in the menu. The problem is that the word document has actual focus and the up/down keys are still sent to the word document (causing the line the cursor is on.)I have tried using e.suppresskey in the keydown event to try to prevent this, but the keys are still pressed on the word document.
View 1 RepliesIn vb.net (2008), I want to be able to control when a contextMenuStrip (context menu) is displayed. I don't want it to always appear when the right mouse button is clicked...only when certain criteria within my program are met. I figure I would use addHandler but I'm not exactly clear on how to completely control the opening of the contextMenuStrip. I know I would issue a call to the "open" method to render the contextMenuStrip. However, I am unclear as to how to completely take over control of when to render the contextMenuStrip.

I have made it so that as soon as the form opens it puts an icon in the tray and when you right click the icon it comes up with a contextmenustrip. in the form I have put a button and a textbox. when you click the button, it creates a new item in the contextmenustrip What I wanted to do was add a peice of code to this new item, is this possible?
View 9 RepliesI am trying to build a context menu for a little "random quote" generator project. Most of the context menu for the NotifyIcon I can create at design time, but I need to create a submenu of file names that the user can choose (check) to be included in the quote population.
I originally did this in VB6 and it worked, now I get a Null reference error. The problem occurs in the Sub BuildChooseFilesMenuItems. Code follows. (Basically, I need to read in the filenames, make them menuitems and keep track of their "checked" state. It is dynamic because the user could add new quote files to the directoryy where they are stored.

View 12 RepliesWhen creating a right click (ContextMenuStrip) menu for a systray (NotifyIcon) icon, how do I give it the same style as most other context menus? Most other menus have a nice fade inout when right clicking on the system tray Icon. In addition they respond immediately when moving between nested levels. I cannot replicate this in Visual Studio 2008 using a simple form, NotifyIcon and ContextMenuStrip assigned. The menu appears harshly with no fade effect regardless of any property.

View 1 RepliesThis seems like it should be simple but I am not finding it. In a nutshell, I have placed a treeview on my form and added a contextmenustrip and associated it to the treeview in the treeview properties. I am creating the tree parent and child nodes programmatically.
The problem is, I do NOT want the context menu to activate for the Parent nodes when you right click. I need to do one of two things:
1. Disable the context menu for the Parent nodes. OR
2. Remove the context menu association from the treeview and add it to the child nodes programmatically.
I have been unable to find either.
I have a class clsContextPopUpMenu to create a ContextMenuStrip with some basic functions (e.g.copy) that I can use in different controls.

Can I always dispose objects/resource in Dispose Sub as shown above?
