I am new in VB Forms. I am using a MenuStrip. How do I get the selected sub menu content to a MSG box? This is working for the top menu, but what for sub menus?
Private Sub MenuStrip1_Clicked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ToolStripItemClickedEventArgs) Handles MenuStrip1.ItemClicked
'Get the text of the item that was clicked on.
Dim s As String = e.ClickedItem.Text
MsgBox(s)
End Sub
I want a menu with just two dropdown lists, the menustrip puts a strip right across the form, is there any way to change the width of the strip? Changing in properties does not work. Is there a different type of menu I can 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?
I have a Sub Menu which has a list of values and when the user selects one it sets a variable to the checked value. I was wondering if it is possible to group them into a control so only 1 can be checked at a time? And also so the menu structure doesn't close each time one of these options is selected.
I have attached a quick ScreenShot to show what i mean of the menu.
I have been trying to work out how to change the content of a picture box using a context menu. The idea is that the user would have a choice of three images which are saved in the resources file to change the main picture on the form. Is this possible?
These are the few options that I have tried from looking around on the net:
Private Sub ButtonImage1ToolStripMenuItem_Click
(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Handles ButtonImage1ToolStripMenuItem.Click
PictureBox1 = (My.Resources.button1)
End Sub
[Code] .....
None of these have actually worked.
I've been trying to figure out the easiest way to populate a menu to allow for easy updating in the future. I would like to add anything to a specific folder and when the program runs it would be populated by the contents of the specific folder. Is this possible? What should I look into to do this? Not sure of the process to use to do this, that is if it is even possible.
View 8 RepliesLet's say I have a menustrip, which has a category "Colors" for example, and in that category there is an option of 20 colors, but I want only 1 to be checked at any one time, now to do that with what I know, I'd have to check every other one of the check boxes and uncheck them in every single click event, is there no cleaner way to do this?

I want to add a context menu to a datagrid in VB2008 and I need to find out which menu item the user selected.
I don't want to use the ContextMenuStrip that's available in the toolbox since it doesn't allow for dynamic placement depending on what row is active in the grid (I haven't found a Top and Left property in the ContextMenuStrip)
Here's what I've got so far, I'm aware of the fact that the MsgBox uses a non-existing property, it is meant to show my intention.
Given the available properties in the ContextMenu object, I would think that there would be something like a SelectedItemCaption property but a search of the object tree yields no results.
dim grdContextMenu as ContextMenu
grdContextMenu = New ContextMenu
grdContextMenu.MenuItems.Add("Insert")

View 2 RepliesIn my winform app in VB.NET I want to use the localization option. But i have a few questions/problems. I'm using a menu strip to select an other language. But it seems that is doesn't change my menustip text to my selected language. It does change my labels, buttons, and textboxes but menu strips don't seem to change when I choose another language. Also is it possible to get those resx files such as MyForm.fr-FR.resx compiled so it isn't an external file outside my app? Or to get those files in an Language folder at the same location of my app, so i don't have all those fr-FR & nl-Nl folders in the same location as my program?
