View 1 RepliesI have a button on my form where I'm showing a ContextMenu when the user left clicks on it, I'm actually using MouseUp right now to show it.What I would like to have happen is the user click on the button, the button stays pressed while the ContextMenu shows, it returns to normal when the ContextMenu closes (Either a menu item was selected, the user hits the escape key or they click/tab to somewhere else). Also I'd like to position the ContextMenu in the lower left corner if the menu opens down or the top left corner if it opens up. So the left edge of the ContextMenu is flush with the left edge of the button.Moreso the button staying pressed until the ContextMenu is closed.
Edit: I'm also ok with this being it's own control inheriting the FW's Button that used the assigned ContextMenu as well.
Is there a way in VB .Net to add specific icons to a desktop like "Computer", "Network",Recycle bin", and "User" files? I want to be ablse to use it for XP and Vista, but Vista as a main priority. In vista you can Right Click the desktop select "Properties", click "Change Desktop Items" in the left hand corner, and then select the icons you want. I thought that maybe there is a way to do it by calling that, or maybe a way to do it in the registry.

View 8 Replieshow can i get contextmenu information from my system tray programs? i have the process handle + the notifyicon handle, but GetMenu doesn't find the contextmenu

how to use a notifyItem component with a contextMenu. At the moment I have an icon which starts when one of my mainform loads up, it has an option to exit and it loads a form on click which is mainly what I need. But because I have more than just one form I need to know is there a way of having one notifyItem for all of the forms (for the whole application) or would I have to create a duplicates for other form. Because it closes when he form closes and the other form doesn't have a notifyItem.
Another thing I would like to know is how to get the form dissapear when closed, I mean I could just do visible = false but I want it shrink towards my notifyIcon like all the other applications do
I'm working on one of my applications and I'm trying to find a way to use the "Go To Desktop" function that goes directly to the desktop without minimizing any window (This can be achieved by clicking on the Win + D buttons or on the desktop icon in the quick launch toolbar), but how can I activate it using vb? I thought about sending keys but I guess there is more offical ways to do it.

View 1 RepliesSome of u already know I'm making a 'virtual desktop'- thing.Only one problem. When switching to a new desktop it starts a new instance of my app in that desktop (works) and on the form load event it says process.start("explorer.exe") <- here is the problem.

The explorer bar does show up.
