Tool Strip Container Tools Strip Lost Focus And Double Click?
Aug 19, 2011
"Form1" has a ToolStripContainer1.TopToolStripPanel which contains a ToolStrip with buttons. The buttons work on ONE click when "Form1" is active.If I click on another window and then return to "Form1" the ToolStrip buttons take TWO clicks to activate.The first click returns focus to "Form1" and the subsequent click fires the button event.I want the buttons to work on the first click and not require two clicks.Note that ordinary buttons on "Form1" that are not part of the ToolStrip work on the first click when returning from another window/form?

This is a VB.Net newbie question. I am working through the Microsoft Press "Build a Program Now!" book using VB 2005. I am in Chapter 6 where you build a simple browser. But, my problem is with Tool Strip Containers. I am running Visual Studio 2005.

I have a program which runs mainly though a NotifyIcon in the bottum right of my windows screen (XP). Whenever I open the ContextMenuStrip that appears when the icon is right clicked, a box also appears in the task bar. I also have nested menus inside the menu (mouse over one item leads to another menu), and each additional menu also creates a taskbar box upon appearing. So once I am at the third or fourth nested menu, there would be 3 or 4 windows appearing in the taskbar. After the menu disapears, so do the windows in the taskbar.How can I stop the taskbar from displaying boxes to represent these menus? I have done nothing in my code as far as I know to create this type of behavior. I have searched for similar problems but have found nothing similar. There is no "showintaskbar" property for these items as far as I can see, and no other property that I can find which would affect this. I have investigated the owner of the contextmenustrip since I read the owner may effect these type of behaviors, but that doesnt seem to be helpful as there isn't an owner property of the contextmenustrip.

I copied across all the code and got it going, but when I copied across the tool strip menu it came up with a Red X, where on the old project it was displaying fine. I removed the copied tool strip and dragged a new one onto the form, but even a brand new one with no modification comes up with a Red X. I tried a couple of the suggestions I could find on the internet, but none of them seemed to make any difference.
I tired stepping through the code (F8) but it does go anywhere near any tool strip code. I added a New Sub complete with InitializeComponents, but when it gets to initialise it goes yellow and then next step goes to End Sub. I though in previous projects it went to another class and setup the components on the form. Just got home and thought I would throw a button on the form to see if it would display that and it does.

Ok, I'm a very inexperienced programmer writing my first "non-example" program without step by step instructions provided by the learning material. That said, I am still trying to grasp all the different concepts, syntaxes, tools available, etc. So I wanted someone to take a look at my code and give me some input as to how I can make the code more efficient because I can already envision some bugs that could come up from the code I have written right now.
So I'm writing a program that will have two controls (as of now, which I might think of other controls that might become useful) that will be in a boolean state. I have a checked tool strip menu item and a check box item. I need to have the clicked event run some statements that will either set a textbox's visible property. But my question is whether I should keep the code as it is, if I should create a new module, use a sub procedure, or what is the most efficient way of dong this? Here's my code but I can already see some functionality problems if I decide more controls that accomplish the same task as having to go back and add code to the existing controls. Should I not try to keep the code in a seperate module so all I have to do is change the code getting called in that seperate module instead of actually going through the event code and changing/adding statements repetitively? Anyway:

I'm still unclear as to how this works. The examples in the tutorial don't help very much, and, sorry, I could not make the examples in the previous thread work either and I don't understand the Lost Focus event. What I want to do is fairly simple. 1.) Enter the Test Duration as a string in the tool strip menu item text box in form1. 2.) Make the variable TestDuration equal to the string in the tool strip menu item. 3.) Print the value in a message box after button1 is pressed so I know that it's been captured. Attached is my simple code. This is probably very elementary and I'm sure I'm doing it wrong but I haven't a clue just yet.[code]...

I need to be able to add buttons to a tool strip at run time. As of now I've been able to get the buttons to display with a nice little picture just how he wants and some text under it. Just can't figure out how to "enable" the click event for these buttons. Obviously I need them to do something rather than just sit there looking good and this is where I'm stuck. Right now I'd be happy for a message box to come up saying yep I'm working as I could then work with that. This is what I have for code so far... this is just to get it working I'll work on the actual code later.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim btnSomething As New ToolStripButton
btnSomething.Text = "Test 1"

I'm trying to create a toolstrip using the system render mode, but the split button control doesn't look right in Windows 7 It's almost like the drop down button is offset to the right by 1 pixel, or part of the border is missing.

I'm creating a Win Form app in VB Express 10, which includes an animation. While the animation is running, it would be helpful to fade (maybe 50% opacity) a tool strip menu item's image so that it would not distract from the animation. I've tried to change the item's transparency in the property drop down, with no effect. I think I would need a function to add to the animation start button to fade the tool strip menu item's image to 50%. Then if the animation stops, or the image is clicked, a function to re-establish 100% opacity.

I'm trying to match on some inconsistently formatted HTML and need to strip out some double quotes.
Current:
<input type="hidden">
The Goal:
<input type=hidden>
This is wrong because I'm not escaping it properly:
s = s.Replace(""","");
This is wrong because there is not blank character character (to my knowledge):
s = s.Replace('"', '');
What is syntax / escape character combination for replacing double quotes with an empty string?

Windows form, it has a section with Tabs, in those tabbed areas there are menu strips. Also on the form there are buttons, and 1 menu strip not on a tab control.
The following work with one click; buttons.
The menustrip take 2 clicks. However after the form has been clicked for the first time, they only need one click to operate. Take the focus away from the form, set to always be on top and repeat above.
What I need is this
1./ stay on top (Done)
2./ Buttons single click (Done)
3./ Menu strip single click

My application has a form which contains several Textboxes where user is required to fill up data. Once data is filled up user can click on "Save" button to save the data. I have added lost focus events to all textboxes so as to validate user input. When I click on cancel button, i want to detect cancel button click, but textbox lost focus is fired first so I get error message for textbox before my code moves to cancel button click handler. Is there any way to detect button click before lost focus event?

Is there a more efficient/easier way changing the backcolor of a control when it has focus and lost focus? Let's say I've got 10 text boxes. Right now I would have 20 different events...10 for Enter event and 10 for Leave event. Of course, entering would change the back color to "green" and leaving would change it back to "white".
