I somehow lost a MenuStrip & StatusStrip from my form. Now I have all these MenuStrip items in the dropdown box of my properties window & I can't seem to delete them.
View 3 RepliesI have on my form load to add items to a menu as a dropdown item.from within the same sub I try to output the menustrip dropdown items in a msgbox but I get a blank response for all my items.
Private Sub PopulateLoadChildMenu()
msItemLoad.DropDownItems.Clear()
Dim fi As FileInfo

I have my program set up to read the contents of a Directory, and then populate a drop down menu with the names of the files in the directory. (I am using the MenuStrip). Inside my program, it is also set up to create a new file in that directory, and I wish to add this item to the dropdown menu upon creation. The list is entirely created and populated from the code, and the contents of the list depend entirely on what's in the directory.
I have tried using MenuStrip.Items.Remove(menuItem1). Now, when this command gets executed, it does remove the top level Menu, however when I go to repopulate the menu, I end up with duplicates of my files listed in the drop down. I am stuck with how to clear these out as well?
I have the following linq statement to go through a dropdown menu's sub items and get what items are checked: vb Dim UnselectedItems = From xItem As ToolStripMenuItem In tsiSelectObjects.DropDownItems Where TypeOf xItem Is ToolStripMenuItem AndAlso CType(xItem, ToolStripMenuItem).Checked = False
I get this error tho: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripSeparator' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem'. As you can probably guess i have ToolStripMenuItems and separators in there
However the AndAlso should short circuit in the case where the item is not a ToolStripMenuItem and it doesn't seem to be doing so (as TypeOf xItem Is ToolStripMenuItem=false in this case)?
i have managed to add menu strip items and add a Click Handler to it fine But now i am going to remove the click handler, and want to add sub items in the menu instead the current code i have so far..

We have an application with an mdicontainer form which has a menustrip with many toolstripmenuitems. Each of these toolstripmenuitems has dropdown items. We want to be able to set the Visible properties of these dropdown items to true and false in various situations. We are able to do this e.g, mnuFileOpen.visible = True and it does make the menu item visible.

I added a setting in my.settings, the setting is a listbox, and I know you can put controls in a listbox, but for some reason it will not let me add a toolstripmenuitem to the listbox in my settings. Is there a fix to this?
View 5 RepliesThe dropdown box displays all the items previously added to that column.
I want the user to be able to enter a new value OR just pick a previous value from the dropdown list. (This is when inserting a new row)
Problem:
Whenever I enter a value, it jumps around in my table like its on acid or something. Whenever I select a value from the list, it takes me to the line in which the value was originally entered.
How do I get it to do what I want.
I need to load a large txt file that is in a fixed width format. There are over 45K lines, so speed is important.I need to load one of the fields into a dropdown box and have another field (label) display the text of another field in the related line.I could import the file to an access db if needed, but would rather not as i also want the txt file to update from a link on a regular bases. So having it in a DB would be more work to process that part.[code]

I am making some kind of calendar where I can add tasks, so I can easily organise my tasks. For it to complete, I have 3 things I can't figure out how to do it:
1. When I launch the program, I want the items in my listbox to be sorted alphabeticly.
2. I want to save the items in the listbox, so if I close the program and reopen it the items are still saved in the listbox.
3. The items in the listbox all start with a date, fe. "13-4" for today. If that date already passed I want that item to be deleted.

I am trying to build a context menu for a little "random quote" generator project. Most of the context menu for the NotifyIcon I can create at design time, but I need to create a submenu of file names that the user can choose (check) to be included in the quote population.
I originally did this in VB6 and it worked, now I get a Null reference error. The problem occurs in the Sub BuildChooseFilesMenuItems. Code follows. (Basically, I need to read in the filenames, make them menuitems and keep track of their "checked" state. It is dynamic because the user could add new quote files to the directoryy where they are stored.

View 1 Replieshow to add further items to a dropdown control on the ribbon.
So far I have been able to create a number of items manually and then afterwards change the label of these items using
Globals.Ribbons.Ribbon1.DropDown1.Items(i).Label
Furthermore I found that some recommend using this to add further items to the dropdown control. But I am having a hard time trying to understand how to use it.
Globals.Factory.GetRibbonFactory.CreateRibbonComboBox.Items.Add
I would like to see a sample of how others have done it.
In my VB.NET (desktop) application I'm adding items to a dropdown box like this:
Me.mnuSetup.DropDownItems.AddRange(New System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem() {Me.mnuAddUser, Me.mnuDeleteUser, Me.mnuChangePassword, Me.mnuClearLog, Me.ToolStripMenuItemClearStatusWindow, Me.mnuSep1, Me.mnuRefreshFileTypes, Me.mnuOptions, Me.TestHTTPSUploadToolStripMenuItem})
I only want the Me.TestHTTPSUploadToolStripMenuItem to be added if a boolean is true. How would you put an if condition inside this AddRange method?

I'm making a program that uses recursion to transform the nodes in a treeview to the items in a contextmenustrip. The nodes will have tags within them that when I add a handler to the menuitem, it will run through a script from the tag to tell the program what to do, the only problem is that I don't need a tag or an even handler for any of the menuitems that have dropdown items. How could I do this?
