Toolstrip Menu And The .break Or .breakbar Property?

Oct 2, 2008

My program creates and populates a toolstrip menu at runtime dynamically. I would like my program to break the menu up into a new coloumn after say 40 menu items have been added to the toolstrip so the user doesnt have to do a long continous scroll to reach the bottom (Cascade). From my research i have found out that there is a feature called '.break' or '.breakbar' that allows for this kind of facility however this feature isnt available for toolstrip dropdown menus.

Example of how menu should look:
Item1|Item6|Item11
Item2|Item7|Item12

Add A Context Menu To A ToolStrip?

Is there another way to add a Context Menu to a ToolStrip other than using the MouseDown Event? I want to use it to let people select to either show text labels on buttons in the ToolStrip or turn them off.

VS 2005 No 'break All' In Debug Menu

Mar 18, 2011

I've used VS2005 where there was an option to basically break into the code via menuitem on the debug menu. I can't exactly remember what it was called although I seem to think it was "break all". I know this has something to do with the setup/layout/whatever MS called it, I picked when I first installed VS. I went into the options and couldn't find a way to enable it. It is disabled if you enable "edit and continue" or something?

VS 2010 - Clicking Subitem Of Toolstrip Menu And Get Text

Jan 7, 2012

I'm trying to make it where when I click the subitem of a toolstrip menu, I can get the text I am clicking.

For example: This is my toolstripmenu, I'm trying to make it when I can get the text of what I'm clicking like the My Subscribers, My Contacts etc.

I tried this:
Private Sub ContextMenuStrip1_ItemClicked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItemClickedEventArgs) Handles ContextMenuStrip1.ItemClicked
End Sub

But all this does it get the main menu item click such as Add Selected Users to New Group. The subitems are added programmatically through this.

.net - Pass Custom Event Arg After User Clicks A Context Menu's Toolstrip Item?

Mar 28, 2012

I've got a dynamically filled datagrid view. When a user right clicks a cell in the datagridview, it opens a context menu, located by that cell. The context menu has two choices: A and B. I want to set the value of the cell to A if they pick A, and B if they pick B.I would like to pass the relevant cell as a field in the event args passed to ContextMenu's ToolStripItem.click. So the handler for ToolStripItem A's click event would read the relevant cell from the event args and set it to A , like this...

Private Sub A_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Customized System.EventArgs) Handles A.Click
e.relevantCell.Value=A
End Sub

how to pass a custom event arg. Or if there is some easier way to do this? I can't just use the X and Y coordinates, because the context menu/mouse won't necessary by over the relevant cell.

VS 2008 : Get The Viewer To Maximize Properly Without Hiding The Toolbar Of The Crystal Control Behind The Menu And Toolstrip?

Working with a form that has a menu, toolstrip and Crystal Viewer control. I cannot seem to get the viewer to maximize properly without hiding the toolbar of the Crystal Control behind the menu and toolstrip. I've played with the options of Dock and Alignment, as well as autosize and I just can't get it to work.So do I need to handle the sizing myself to do this and position the control where I need it?

ToolStrip On A Databound Form - Toolstrip Buttons Don't Receive Focus In The Normal Way ?

Mar 24, 2009

I really want to make use of the toolstrip and databinding but these two technologies keep conflicting with each other. I think the root cause is something to with the fact that the toolstrip buttons don't recieve focus in the normal way.

I invite you to try the following:-

1. Create a form and put some text boxes a tool strip with a save button on it.

2. Write a query or sproc to get a datatable back and bind your text boxes to the field in the datatable.

3. In the code behind your Save ToolStripButton put some code that makes an arbitrary change to a field on the dataset (it doesn't matter whther this field is bound to a text box or not). eg:-
m_DataTable.Rows(0).Item("CommissionRatePerc") = "0.0000"

4. Put a breakpoint in the save and run the form.

5. Make some changes in the text boxes. Do not leave the last text box but rather click save while a text box whose contents you have edited still has focus.

6. When your code hits the breakpoint, query the value of the data table field that is bound to the text box you were editing when you clicked save - it will still contain the unedited value. Unless you do something about it that unedited value is going to get saved back to your DB.

We did get around this problem by explicetely setting the focus to another control on the form before saving. That worked most of the time because it prompts the text box to flush it's value back to the datatable (nb EndEdit does not work, although you'd have expected it to). However, and this is the reason I suggested you add a line of code that changed a value in the underlying datatable in step 3, if you change a value in code in this way before the value from the text box get's flushed back then it doesn't seem to matter what you do, the user's current edit is simply lost. They will still show in the text box, though, leading your user to believe that the change has been committed when it hasn't. Our final solution is that we never ever change a value in the adtaset in the code behind our toolstrip buttons. That's working but it's a pretty big restriction.

Get Ctrl+Break On Laptop Without A Break Key?

Nov 12, 2009

-new Dell laptop without a Break key.

-VB6 and VS2008 IDEs use Ctrl+Break to pause execution for debugging.

-I need a way to map another key combination to trigger a Ctrl+Break

My setup may make this easier or harder but to be clear I am running Kubuntu 9.10 (latest stable) and WinXP in a VirtualBox VM. Obviously all VB6/VS2008 dev is taking place in the virtual machine.So maybe it's possible to have the linux host send through Ctrl+Break based on a key mapping, or maybe it's possible to remap directly in WinXP. I'd settle for any solution as atm I need to use the XP On-Screen keyboard to send a Ctrl+Break.

ApplicationPath Property Windows Start Menu

I have got a surprise when my app did not work as I expected when I started it from the Windows Start Menu. I explain: When starting the program from the application directory, it works fine, because the "Application Path" property gives the right path to find the access database located in the same directory, BUT, the problems comes when I start the program from the Windows Start Menu. What can I do to solve this?

VS 2010 - ApplicationSettings Property Binding For Checked State Of Menu Items

Nov 19, 2010

I want to use property bindings under application settings to store settings for my program. However I have run into a problem. For some reason the checked property is not binding to drop down menu item's checked state. The binding works for text boxes and other controls. I have tried to bind both using the checked property, and checked state property. Auto check on click for the menu items are set to true.

Anyone have any recommendations in getting the app-settings property binding to work without the need to manually set that info and manually run My.Settings.Save?

Menu Strip Has Disappeared But The Menu Items Are Still Showing In Properties List?

Oct 6, 2011

I have combed these forums and the 'net and can't find an answer to my specific problem. My menu strip disappeared (after deleting a small secondary form within my project). I therefore created a new strip and while recreating the menu items realized that the original menu items are still present, showing in my properties list. I have checked my design file as well and the original menu strip is definitely gone but the original menu items are there. I don't have many items so I would have no problem just deleting the original ones but I can't see them to delete them! I have checked and they are all set to visible. I have also moved everything on my form to see if it is behind anything else.
