I'm trying to show a NotifyIcon in the Systray via an event:
Private Sub OnRegChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
If InvokeRequired Then
BeginInvoke(New EventHandler(AddressOf OnRegChanged))
Else
Return
how can i get contextmenu information from my system tray programs? i have the process handle + the notifyicon handle, but GetMenu doesn't find the contextmenu
vb Public Declare Function GetMenu Lib "user32" Alias "GetMenu" _ (ByVal hwnd As Integer) As Integer
I have a problem with the combox its only displaying the first item in the list its being populated by a webserice call the drop down in question is comboboxmodel now the manufacture one is fine and sets as it should any reason as to why the comboboxmodel would not. [code]
The program goes and "Hides" itself as the very last step (InitializeNotifyIcon - does a close which triggers the Form1_FormClosing), but for some reason it shows back up right after it hides iteslf.Here is my code:
Public Class Form1 Private contextMenu1 As System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu Friend WithEvents menuItem As System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem

I don't want my application's main form to be displayed when it opens; I just want the notifyicon control in it to show in the taskbar.This is the code I have been using:
Module: Code: Module mdlStartup Public Sub Main()
[Code]...
The NotifyIcon control is in my frmMain. However, when I run my program I get mulitple instances of the Notify Icon being displayed. I even get two frmMains getting launched if I try clicking the other tray icon that has been made. I'm guessing this has to do with the New instance.If that's the problem, is there a way I can move the notifyicon control to some completely separate class?
I'm currently coding a multi-form project that requires a NotifyIcon. The first form is the Login form which then opens a 'logging-in' form and then finally another form (they're all opened using FormName.ShowDialog() and they hide themself before opening the next form).Login Form -> Logging In Form -> Final Form.When the final form is opened, the NotifyIcon's visible property is set to true and it appears in the tasktray like normal. But when I use Me.Hide on the final form, the NotifyIcon disappears with the form.Any ideas about what is going on? The program still runs in the background despite no forms are visible (which is how it's intended to be) but without a NotifyIcon, there's no way of making the forms appear again.
Has anyone got any ideas on how to display a numeric value in the systray? The only method I can think of is to create an image for each number and change it as required.
I'm trying to have my NotifyIcon show the native context menu of the Operating system. When I use ContextMenuStrips they have the custom skin made from Microsoft which I dont want. I want to use the original menu that all other applications use on my computer. How Can I use that menu? I have tried using the "old" ContextMenu control but It doesnt work with NotifyIcons, it only displays with other controls.
I've searched for a while and I just can't get it working I have a context menu that has some items (I know how to edit those) but I just can't get the ContextMenu to pop up when I right click my PictureBox3!
When 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.
I created a new WinForm application then dragged a notify icon onto my designer. I coded my desired functionality for the NotifyIcon's behavior inside the Form1.vb file.I think I remember something about adding a module to the project, and setting the project to launch the aforementioned module instead of the form...but I can't figure out/recall how to keep the functionality I've coded into Form1.vb.
I want to have a NotifyIcon in the system tray that when clicked, opens a context menu on the NotifyIcon with several options that open different forms.
I have read I need to use a ContextMenu and after Google'ing and trying out various code I can't seem to get it working
I've got a NotifyIcon that signals downloadable application updates. I want the download page to open on a Left Click on the NotifyIcon and on a Left Click on the NotifyIcon balloon (on screen for 10 seconds). However, when I handle the BalloonTipClicked event I can't figure out if it was a Left or a Right click. Thus, while the balloon is still on screen and the user Right clicks on the icon, I get both the popup menu and the download page opening. How do I detect the Right mouse button was used?
I have a program which when you press a button it minimises to a notifyicon in the system tray then you right click to bring up a contextmenu which allows it to be maximised again. What I want to do is add a shortcut, ctrl+shift+P for example so when that's pressed the program maximises again. But at the moment the only shortcut I can get to work involves right clicking the notifyicon before it works?
I am writing program in VB 2003 .Net and Framework .Net 1.1 I'm using NotifyIcon class without form.
Private WithEvents _niTray As System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon Private Sub _niTray_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles _niTray.Click Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", sender.ToString, e.ToString) End Sub
How i can detect which mouse buttons (left or right) cliks?
i have a datagridview. On right click it shows a contextmenu but it is always in the right upper corner. I want it so that the menu appears on the cell where user right clicks. It could be Cell 1 or two or whatever.
I have a ContextMenu attached to a tray notifyIcon and I already have it on the form in design mode. If I look at it in design mode I can see evereything that I have on the main pop-up context menu. What I am trying to do is add to one of those choices programatically. Worked fine in VB6.I am reading in a list of filenames from a directory and want to place them as menu items in the 2nd level of the context menu. Example:
I have a contextmenu on my winform appplication. I have a bit of trouble with clicking on the menu items event. When I click on menu items event, the menu items do not fade or even hide. I want to know how to hide the contextmenu?
I have a shockwave on a form in my VB.NET application. Everything works great. Although, when a user right-clicks over the flash movie a flash context menu is displayed. How do I use the form contextmenu on flash??
I'm having an issue with an app where my NotifyIcon displays an extra icon. The steps to reproduce it are easy, but the problem is that the extra icon shows up after any of the actual codebehind we've added fires. Put simply, clicking a button triggers execution of method FooBar() which runs all the way through fine but its primary duty is to fire a backgroundworker to log into another of our apps. It only appears if this particular button is clicked.Strangely enough, we have a WndProc method override and if I step through until the extra NotifyIcon appears, it always appears during this method so something else beyond the codebehind must be triggering the behavior. Our WndProc method is currently (although I don't think it's caused by the WndProc):
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message) 'Check for WM_COPYDATA message from other app or drag/drop action and handle message If m.Msg = NativeMethods.WM_COPYDATA Then[code].....
what might be causing this or how to possibly further debug this?
