I'm using .Net Framework 2.0 with VS2005. I want to create a form associated to an external program (Microsoft Word, for instance). I want it to stay in front of this external program, but I don't want it to be modal.

So I have a ToolStrip menu item "New", when pressed it creates an MDI child window and adds new toolstrip menu item to the parent window and when clicked it focuses on the window I created before, so I could easly navigate if I have loads of windows. This code perfectly works in VS2008:
Private Sub NewToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NewToolStripMenuItem.Click
Dim frm As New Form()
Static ic As New Integer
ic += 1

View 2 RepliesHow do you change Color of all the ToolStripMenuItem on a Windows form. It seems as though you can't.
Here is the code that fails
For Each a In Me.ToolStripItems Then
a.BackColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromOle(InterfaceColor)
a.ForeColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromOle(LabelColor)

We use a 3rd party engineering application that does not expose an automation model. We can 'automate' it after a fashion by using low level Win32 API calls. I can get the Process by iterating the GetProcesses method. Is there a way to attach to the app by using the NativeWindow class?
View 4 RepliesI am using a class derived from NativeWindow to get access to WndProc for various text boxes on my form. I am trapping the WM_CONTEXTMENU message. I assign the handle in the Enter event and release it in the Leave event. Everything is working as expected except for one situation. If the user right clicks to select a new textbox, the first WM_CONTEXTMENU message is either skipped or is fired before the handle is assigned in my code. If I set a break point in the Enter event, the issue described above does not occur.
In all other cases, tabbing into the textbox, setting the focus to the textbox in code or left clicking in the textbox to select it, everything works as expected. To test the above, I also trapped WM_RBUTTONUP and display a message box. In all of the cases noted above except for selecting the textbox by right clicking it, the message boxes are displayed and then the context menu is displayed. When selecting a textbox by right clicking it, the message boxes are not displayed and the context menu is. Could this possibly be a bug in the NativeWindow class?
I want to use images as resources from another library.When I set it in the from.designer.vb-file and debug it, then it converts the value from:
ImgLib.Img1
i wanted to ask how to make picturebox1 ,to which functions are already assigned, perform the same function as picturebox2 ,to which no functions are assigned.For example:I have already made picturebox1 and have assigned it alot of function like when play button is pressed then picturebox1.visible = true and when we press pause button picturebox1.visible = false. So now i decided to make a theme and have to remove the picturebox1 and want to allow the picturebox2 to havefunction of picturebox1.But when i disable the theme the function of picturebox1 should go back to picturebox1.
View 6 RepliesThe company has a Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate project that is written in Visual Basic. The project has several strings in the resources file (Resources.resx). One of those strings (VersionSuffix) contains "" when we are distributing a normal version of our product and "BETA" when we are distributing a beta version of our product. Most of the time we distribute a normal version of our product. Therefore, most of the time the resource string VersionSuffix contains "".
Recently, we attempted to distribute a beta version of our product. Therefore, we changed resource string VersionSuffix from "" to "BETA". However, it quickly became apparent that the resource string VersionSuffix was being used as the default value for several control properties in the form designer. For example, if I draw a rich textbox on a form then file FORMNAME.Designer.vb will contain the following.
Me.RichTextBox1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(286, 306)
Me.RichTextBox1.Name = "RichTextBox1"
Me.RichTextBox1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(134, 33)
Me.RichTextBox1.TabIndex = 32
Me.RichTextBox1.Text = Global.PROJECTNAME.My.Resources.Resources.VersionSuffix
We are unable to find anything anywhere that indicates that this resource string should be used as the default value for control properties. Therefore, we have no idea why this resource string is being used for this purpose. We would like to change the control property assignments in the designer from Me.RichTextBox1.Text = Global.PROJECTNAME.My.Resources.Resources.VersionSuffix
Me.RichTextBox1.Text = "" However, we don't know why these strange assignments are being made. Therefore, as soon as someone adds another control the problem will most likely return. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to prevent it from happening again?

Below is the code that is adding a toolstripmenuitem at runtime. I do need to check elsewhere to see if it exists. What I have below is incorrect. How would I change the conditional check below?

If ToolStripMenuItemFile.DropDownItems(2) IsNot Nothing Then

I am having trouble figuring out a way to add click events to ToolStripMenuItems generated off data from a ListView object.In short, i have a ToolStripButton called 'View', in that i have a ToolStripMenuItem called 'Group'- What i have already accomplished is adding sub-items to the 'Group' ToolStripMenuButton. These items are based of ListViewGroups inside of my ListView.
Here is the code for what i've done so far:
Code:
Private Sub ToolStripButton3_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton3.MouseEnter
'LOAD GROUPS INTO MENU LIST
GroupToolStripMenuItem2.DropDownItems.Clear()
[code]....
As you can see, this will generate a ToolStripMenuItem inside the 'Group' ToolStripMenuItem for each group that is located inside my ListView- as well as add a constant ToolStripMenuItem, 'All', for viewing all groups again.What i am unsure on how to do is program in the OnClick Event for each of the generated ToolStripMenuItems?
I have in a menu a ToolStripTextBox where the user can enter a CASE NUMBER to FIND. And I have a ToolStripMenuItem below that says QUICK FIND - clicking this will find the case you put in the textbox. Tabbing out of the textbox puts you at this TOOLSTRIPMENUITEM so that ENTER on the keyboard will trigger the FIND. I want to make it so that pressing ENTER while still in the textbox will trigger that same TOOLSTRIPMENUITEM action. Do I have to trap keypresses or is there a more natural way to accomplish this?
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to do MVP where I have a view specific model that the presenter manipulates and the view binds to. There is no other connection between the presenter and view (the view fires off commands to the domain model via a gateway type pattern).
As you can guess, this makes the ability to bind to any property of any object really important.
I'm having trouble finding the correct way to bind to the Enabled property of a ToolStripMenuItem. Most controls have a .DataBindings property, but this one seems to lack it. I haven't found much info online about how to do this. Is it even possible?
