I have a button on my form where I'm showing a ContextMenu when the user left clicks on it, I'm actually using MouseUp right now to show it.What I would like to have happen is the user click on the button, the button stays pressed while the ContextMenu shows, it returns to normal when the ContextMenu closes (Either a menu item was selected, the user hits the escape key or they click/tab to somewhere else). Also I'd like to position the ContextMenu in the lower left corner if the menu opens down or the top left corner if it opens up. So the left edge of the ContextMenu is flush with the left edge of the button.Moreso the button staying pressed until the ContextMenu is closed.
Edit: I'm also ok with this being it's own control inheriting the FW's Button that used the assigned ContextMenu as well.
how do i insert text for the designated object when the help button (next to the 'close' button) is pressed?

I have a button on a form, and I want to increment a counter an display it in a lable, while the buttion is pressed. Similiar to a numberic up down control. The reason is that I want to use a custom looking button, rather than the look of the numeric up down control.
Is there an easy way to do that while the button is being pressed? Or would it make sense to change the look of the numberic up down (I don't want UP and DOWN on the same control, though).
I'm developing a interface in VB.net which will control two stepper motors. Counting on your tips I managed to control them manually I mean, there're 4 buttons used to move the motors clockwise and anti-clockwise. The point is, the main part of our project is control the motors automatically. Our idea is based on two editable fields, X and Y, where the user would insert the displacement value he'd like the motor to move. After filling up both fields, the "GO" buttons would be pressed. So the loop would run depending on the displacement values in X and Y.
Attached you can find the main screen:

Im looking for guidance/example on how to track if a button was pressed so that I can turn on another button and turn off the first button. I am saving a bunch of user data to a text file & that works fine. Once the user enters all of the required data, I turn on button "btnCBSave". What I am trying to accomplish is once button "btnCBSave" has been pressed once, turn itself off and make button "btnCBNew" visable so that the user can enter new data.
My little chunk of code is below:
CODE:
On an form i have few labels, upon clicking on that labels i want to display an another form which contains 3 textboxes(Default,Current,New) and 3 buttons(Default,Current,new). I need to save the values of all the textboxes to the label's tag, but the label's text will contain the value of the textbox based upon the button which is pressed. i.e if 'Default' button is pressed then the 'Default' textbox text should be the label's text. I have created a class with three mem. variables to the save these class objects in the labels tag. But how should i know which button was pressed.
View 3 RepliesI have a simple windows application that pops up an input box for users to enter in a date to do searches.
How do I identify if the user clicked on the Cancel button, or merely pressed OK without entering any data as both appear to return the same value? I have found some examples of handling this in VB 6 but none of them really function in the .NET world.
Ideally I would like to know how to handle the empty OK and the Cancel seperately, but I would be totally ok with just a good way to handle the cancel.

View 10 RepliesIn my program, if something goes wrong an ErrorForm is supposed to show up and tell what was going wrong.
And if the error is a "fatal type", then I want the program just display the ErrorForm (which gives some information about the error), wait for a button press, and then close the program (terminate run).
In case of error, the form is displayed.. That's good.
But as the program is supposed to terminate after showing the error form, the error form disappears immediately after showing up (so it doesn't allow the user any time to read what's going wrong).
How can I make the program wait until a button press (on the error form) and then terminate?
I've got a basic VB.net 2.0 application together in VisualStudio 2005. Within a form, I've tied [enter] in several text boxes to a button. What I'd like to do is "press" the button from getField_KeyDown() to give the user a visual indication of what's happening.With the code below, the button click work is done but the button's look doesn't change and the user is left without feedback.
Private Sub getField_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles txtGetKey.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
e.Handled = True
Call btnGet.PerformClick()
End If
End Sub
How can I make the button looked pressed while the btnGet.PerformClick() work is being done?
I'm trying to get a print preview to load only after a button is pressed. This program uses a printDocument and a PrintPreviewControl.The printDocument (prtDoc) is loaded/printed when the user clicks the button. Then I click the "clear" button. This resets some variables, and SHOULD reset the document's text so that it can be changed later. But it doesn't; How would I go about changing the prtDoc document after it's already been rendered?
