Im using buttons from A to Z in a toolstrip which I need to capture the text property of the button which trigger click event. I do it this way which took a long coding to mention all buttons (A-Z) click events.
vb Private Sub az_btn(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles A_ToolStripButton.Click, B_ToolStripButton.Click ... Z_ToolStripButton.Click
'shows text property of the clicked button
MessageBox.Show(sender.ToString)
End Sub
I would like my ToolStrip button to actually look like a button instead of this flat thing that is the default. I would also like for it to depress when the user clicks on it, just like a standard Windows form button. I've spend a couple of hours searching
I created a toolstrip with some buttons. I have a form with some objects (like textbox,checkbox,button etc.) and when i get the focus on last item,when i finish to compile i need with tab on keyboard to get focus on save button on the toolstrip.
I used a toolstrip and set an image for it's button but I removed this image from resource in solution explorer and all toolstrip is gone. I removed images that have !sign in resource tab of properties but toolstrip is not visible in design view. how it returns? before I had typed tooltip instead toolstrip and I edit it now.
It seems that if I use .ShowDialog for a printdialog from a toolstripbutton then the dialog does not have focus, I have to click on it twice to change any options.. If I call it from a regular button or menu, it works fine...
I found that this was a confirmed bug but there was no posted workaround..
I want to select a button("Exit") on the ToolStrip after pressing a button ("ButtonFocus To Exit") outside the toolstrip. I used ExitToolStripButton.Select() on ButtonFocusToExit.Click but which seems like its selecting the button ("Exit") but when i pressed enter it never execute the code in "ExitToolStripButton_Click" .
So the button is still not active. Can anyone have fix to it?
I have two Toolstrips(tsp). Among the two the second one is hidden. There is a tsptextbox on the second tsp. When the user checks the button on the first tsp, i want the second tsp to be shown and the tsptextbox should be selected. I use the following code but the tsptextbox isnt getting the focus
I know this may sound really stupid, however, I really do not know. Though I have been programming with VB2005 for about the last 4 years or so, I have never used toolstrip at all. Just simply never has a need to, until now. So, I tried it by simply clicking it in the toolbox, which is simple enough, and choose the toolstrip button for the toolstrip as well. I change the button image to the image I have and want, which seems to be piece of cake operation. Everything looks good in design time. However, when I ran the program, I have the toolstrip simply look blank (no show of the button or the image at all)! The button was there alright, as when I clicked it, it responded. However, it just simply not visible at all, nor the image. When I ran my mouse over it, it did change color (which I guess indicate it is there), but no image either.
how i can make a button (UpdateBtn) in my toolstrip Act like a NotifyIcon so i can use the BalloonTip features i have looked on goggle all over and cant find a single thing about it (unless im looking for the wrong thing) im thinking it either cant be done or no one has bloged about it yet
In wndProc method WM_MOUSEACTIVATE is not working. When I click on Toolstrip button m.Msg is not returning the value 33 and m.Result is not returning value 2. know how to handle the WM_MOUSEACTIVATE
I have a toolstrip on a winforms application and below it a DataGridView. Everything looks fine when the program runs initially. If I maximize the form though, the DataGridView covers part of the toolstrip. How can I make the toolstrip lock in place so that nothing will overlap it?
I have been playing with the Windows API.A Windows application typically has a TitleBar (with a caption on it), underneath is a MenuStrip, under that a ToolStrip (with the tool icons on it), and under that the main application area.I want to be able to strip everything off, except for the main application area.I have found how to hide the TitleBar, using:
GetWindowLong (and passing to it the handle of the form, and GW_STYLE to get the current windows style)SetWindowLong (and passing to it the handle of the form, the InitialStyle, and ORing with it WS_DLGFRAME) how to remove the MenuStrip and ToolStrip to leave just the main application area?
Code so far:
Public Class Form1 Private Const WM_SYSCOMMAND As Integer = 274 Private Const SC_MAXIMIZE As Integer = 61488
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.
I have just been editing some of the icons on a toolstrip and now I find that I have completely lost all of the toolstrip, menustrip and statusbar data.All I have left is blank controls.
I have a Main form, called Main.vb, that is a Parent Form. I have another form called Notes.vb. Inside Main.vb I have a toolstrip with a button on it called Notes. I'm wanting to change the checked status of the Button to either True when the Notes.vb window is open inside the parent or to false when it is close. Is this possible?

I have a favorites bar in my web browser and when I display them on a toolstrip as a toolstripbutton but the bookmarks are stored as a string collection in my.settings and It only displays the url of the bookmark (not the document title of the site)Is there a way to have a toolstripbutton that has the text of the Document Title of the url and the url as the tag of the toolstrip button?
I usually use standard button and do the settings like causevalidation etc if required.
i decided to use toolstrip and inserted some buttons but end up that it doesn't do the validation for control and also doesn't call leave event of textbox control.
so my question is, anyway to use regular button functionality for toolstripbutton or there is a way to add regular button on toolstrip.
I have a save button on toolstrip which is "SaveToolStripButton". When the button is clicked, then "Save_Data()" is executed like #2 below. I try to implement to save changed data by pressing the SaveToolStripButton other than "BindingNavigatorSaveItem" like below #1.
This is my problem. It detects the change and correctly update themi if I use #1, but #2 does not detect any chnge at all.What is wrong with my code which is #2?
Public Function AddNewButton() As System.Windows.Forms.Button ' Create a new instance of the Button class. Dim aButton As New System.Windows.Forms.Button()
I would like to create a group/collection/set of unfinished rows that I can later add to a datatable.I have tried to do this by creating a DataRowCollection, and then create a new row based on the table I want then add it to the collection. Doing that I get a NullReferenceException though.Using the new keyword for dr does not work.[code]......
I have a Collection, the keys are strings and the values are Collections. In the sub Collections the keys are strings and values are Singles/Floats. How would I loop through all of the data? I need to get the keys and values not just the values. I've tried this but it produces a cast error:
Is the memory from primitive data types (int, char,etc) immediately released once they leave scope, or added to garbage collection for later release?
consider:
For x as integer=0 to 1000 dim y as integer Next
If this doesn't add 1000 integers to the garbage collector for clean up later,how does it treat string objects? would this create 1000 strings to clean up later?
For x as integer=0 to 1000 dim y as string="" Next
How about structures that contain only int,string,etc... data types?
