View 1 RepliesI have a toolstrip in my main form, at the bottom. The main form has menus that lead to other forms. I am trying to get a button to appear on the toolstrip each time a form opens. My button creation code works. Here is what I have so far:
Public Sub buttons()
'Each form has a Me.FormClosing and MyBase.Load event that links to this sub.
ToolStrip1.Items.Clear()
ToolStrip1.Items.Add(ToolStripDropDownButton1)
For Each frm As Form In My.Application.OpenForms
[Code]...
I have tried using the Tag property to choose the form, but it hasn't worked.I have also tried using the My.Application.OpenForms property to open the form, but this also hasn't worked.I really don't fancy using loads of If Then Else statements to hide and show buttons that have already been created, as this seems rather messy.
I have a textbox, a standard button and a toolstrip containing a couple of buttons. In the validating event of the textbox i coded to check whether it is blank. If yes then it shows a message 'Enter Value'. When the standard button is clicked while the textbox is empty, it's validating properly and showing the message but when the toolstripbutton is clicked it's not not validating the textbox and no message is being shown. It seems that I gotto write the validation code explicitly in the toolstripbutton_click event which is too troublesome when there are multiple textboxes and toolstripbuttons on a single form. What I want to know is whether the textbox_validating can be fired while the toolstripbutton is clicked? Handling toolstrips is really a headache. I'm badly in need of it.

I want to display a ContextMenu when a user clicks a ToolStripButton. I'm using the following code to do so, and it works great, but I want to prevent re-displaying the ContextMenu when the user clicks the ToolStripButton when the ContextMenu is already visible.
If Me.ToolFilter.Checked = False Then
Me.ToolFilter.Checked = True
Me.ContextFilter.Show(Me.ToolStandard, New Point(Me.ToolFilter.Bounds.X, Me.ToolFilter.Bounds.Bottom))
Me.ToolFilter.Checked = False
End If
I have in MDI parent this code to close MDIchild:

activeChild.Close()
Try

But condition activeChild Is Nothing is not working properly. And Status ToolStripButton stay in True value. How can I setting change status ToolStripButton after all MDI child is closed?
I'm making an MDI child window switcher (to set focus on selected child) sort of in a windows-style taskbar at the bottom of the program. I've got things set up so that when a child window is opened, a toolstripbutton is created and added onto the toolstrip and contains the window number and window type (what the window does). All that runs very well, but when I want to close a child form, I need to dispose the button that corresponded to it. I tried something like this:
For Each C As Control In frmClient.Controls
If TypeOf C Is ToolStrip Then
For Each tButton As ToolStripButton In C.Controls
[Code]....
But nothing happens at all. Is there a practical method to do this or am I missing something?

I have an editable datagridview that's been databound with dataadapter and datatable, and a normal button on a form. When i edit the dgv's cells and click the save button it fires the datagridview_cellvalidating event and if the cell validation is correct it updates and saves the current record to the datasource. Also, before save it commits change in any cell under editing. But when I use a toolstripbutton to do the same work, though it saves the dgv records but doesn't update the current change i.e. it saves the old records that are being fetched when the dgv was populated first during form load. Also, clicking the toolstripbutton doesn't fire datagridview_cellvalidating, datagridview_rowvalidating etc events. What it seems to be is it's not committing the change in any cell under editing. [Code]
Why isn't it happening and how can I make it work? how can I fire datagridview_ cellvalidating, datagridview_rowvalidating and other events; and commit cell value change by clicking toolstripbutton.
I am overriding the OnRenderButtonBackground method in order to use custom colouring, but I want to know if the mouse is currently over the button. I tried to get the parent control (the toolstrip) and the parent form and add all the co-ordinates together but this is not correct:

View 2 RepliesI'm attempting to copy a rather complex form from one part of my project and use it (modified) within another part (ie, depending on whether it's maintenance or an outage, you'll get a slightly different email screen).
My first attempt failed miserably, as I had simply right-clicked and pasted the form within the project, assuming renaming the controls would work. nope, I didn't realise that there was stuff in the original form that was renamed as well, and that created a monstrous pile of errors.My second through fourth attempts also failed, generating errors in forms that (I thought) weren't related or connected. Once I deleted the copied form, all was fine.
So, short of trying to rebuild the form from scratch (using a different naming convention for my controls etc.), is there a simple way of doing this? This seems to be such a simple task, but alas I was wrong....(or, at least it's not easy with the information I have right now.
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 m dynamically assigning data to the ToolstripButton like its Text & Image. At one stage i want it to be cleared i.e. ToolstripButton.Text="" and ToolStripButton.Image = To its default image (The image which
is available on design time or ToolStripButtons default image byVS2008)..

I have a VB. Net App where I want the user to open a modeless form which contains reference information about items in a select box. If the user double clicks the item selected in the list box a modal form is opened to edit the item.I want the previously opened reference form to remain active/enabled, that is, I want the user to be able to click on it, move it, etc.I was able to get the form to at least show up on the task bar by setting it's "ShowInTaskBar" property to true, however, when it comes to the front the user can still not move it to the side to view all of the Edit Forms information.
View 7 RepliesI have been creating a call management application and I am having a problem with something that I have spent weeks on trying to get working and nothing I try is working for me. My application is an MDI application written in VB.NET 2005 Professional, using .NET Framework 2.0. It uses a back end database using Microsoft SQL Server 2005.When the MDI application launches, a form is displayed to the end user asking for phone number (MaskedTextBox) and a partner name. The partner names are within a ComboBox.
When the end user types in the phone number and selects a value from within the ComboBox, s/he clicks on the start button. This then opens a second form. The phone number from the MaskedTextBox is to default in a second MaskedTextBox (this I am able to get working without issue.) The partner name selected from the ComboBox is to default on the second ComboBox. This is the part where I have been working on it for weeks and not able to get it to function.
The second form has many ComboBoxes, all of which pull down items from a particular table within the database. Some of them are editable and some are not. The ones that are editable are also auto complete Suggest/Append on the ListItems.I wrote a sub to handle the population of these ComboBoxes and also to handle if they are editable or not. All of this is working. However, my main issue is that I can't get the value on the second form to default to what ever was selected on the first form. I do not get any errors but regardless of what I do, the second form always stays as the first item in the list regardless.
The code I am using is as follows:
<CLSCompliant(True)> Public Sub PopulateDropDownListFromDB(ByVal cboName As Elegant.Ui.ComboBox, _
ByVal TableName As String, ByVal ColumnName As String, _
ByVal UseAutoComplete As Boolean, _
ByVal UseSQLDistinct As Boolean)

My project has a single dataset with about 6 datatables. Each of those datatables has a TableAdapater and a Bindingsource on the main form (due to various databound controls).
Now, I want to have a second form for adding a new record. If I bind the controls to the datasource it creates new TableAdapaters and new Bindingsources on that form. I was wondering if it's possible to simply use the ones from the main form instead like this
