View 3 RepliesUninstall A Shell Context Menu Dll?
Nov 19, 2010Ive created a shell context menu dll using the great example at [url]...
This dll can be included in a vb.net setup project and installs ok but upon uninstall Windows prompts the user to close explorer.exe for the uninstall to complete. If the user clicks ok then the windows GUI is lost and the user either needs to reboot or know how to run task manager and startup another instance of explorer.exe to get their desktop back.
Does anyone know how to go about uninstalling a context menu dll which is currently in use by explorer without ending the explorer.exe process.
Multiple Shell Context Menu Calls
Jul 12, 2009I have a VB2008 music-player program with a listview that acts as a playlist. I created Windows Shell Context Menu entries in the registry for MP3 etc files, so if I right-click such a file in Windows Explorer it gives the option: Play in MyProg. If multiple files are selected in Windows Explorer and sent to be played in MyProg, the first one must be sent to the music player (part of same prog) and the others must be added to the playlist (listview). For this reason I must know whether a commandline call is just a single one or whether other context menu calls will follow.

When Left Clicking Notify Icon On System Tray For Context Menu, Blank Form Shows In Taskbar?
Jul 3, 2010Simply saying I've added an Notify Icon to my project and then added context menu showing up when the left mouse button is pressed. The problem is that with the context menu some blank form is showing in the taskbar. There is no such form within the project.Does anyone know why it may be happening or how to get rid of the effect? I might add that I have other context menu attached for mouse right click button and it works fine, no blank forms and such showing on the taskbar it's just the left mouse button that works that way.Here is the code that I am using to show the menu:(the visible state to false is necessary for the other menus not to pop up with the one i want... unless anyone knows better method)

Insert A New Right Click Context Menu Item To The Existing Right Click Context Menu For The Active Window?
May 15, 2010VB express 2008 .net 3.5 or .net 4.0 VB express 2010?I have written application to convert RTF to HTML. The main Purpose of the application is to copy VS code to the clipboard and covert it then put it back into the clipboard as a HTML Document so that it can be pasted into a HTML document such as Windows Live Mail. I found that code copied and pasted is spaced out in in the wrong positions.
The applications works perfect with no bugs so far. I then asked Myself how to go about doing the copy with the least amount of operator interaction. So I added an Icon to the Icon Tray with a right click menu to use to convert once the Rich Text Format was copied to the clipboard. This works fine except you have Five steps, Select the text, Copy to clipboard, Right Click the icon, Select the Converter and Paste. The normal is three steps.
To this the best solution is to add a context menu item to the active form such as the RTF editor or window. So that when you select the Rich Text to copy and right click on the form to bring up that menu then to Just Select the menu Item such as "Copy RT and Convert" I searched and found about 544000 Items and tried to restrict down to no avail. I read until I finally gave up. I did not find any code examples of this. Almost every thing I found related to the web or some other explicit document like Excel and not to the Various windows that could be active with RT in it.
how do you add a context menu item to the context menu of an active rich text format window such as WordPad or VB?I have test in my application that tests to see if it is a RTF in the clipboard so if it is not the converter does nothing.

VS 2008 : How To Use Context Menu
Oct 17, 2009I've attached a context menu to a richtextbox. This textbox contains lines of data, and I want to find the text of the line which the user has pressed.I found how to do it after the user has chosen one of the context menu items. But I can't figure out how to do it before or when the context menu is opened. The reason for that is that I'd like to disable one of the context menu items if the line of text is missing some text. I tried the following but it's not working:
Private Sub ContextMenuStrip1_Opening(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs)
RichTextBox1.GetLineFromCharIndex(RichTextBox1.SelectionStart)
Dim line As Integer = RichTextBox1.GetLineFromCharIndex(RichTextBox1.SelectionStart)

2008 Context Menu Strip
Feb 26, 2010I have an INI file that contains several of these following entries.The Section names are all labled ASSET_CONTROLS_#.[code]The "Name" field should be added to the ContextMenuStrip control as a ToolStripMenuItem.If there is a value in "SubMenuNames" in the INI file, the ToolStripMenuItem created from the "Name" field, should have a DropDownItem created under it. I have separated multiple SubMenuNames with a SemiColon, so a loop would be used to create the separate menu items.Command and Parameters are to be used with the Process.Start function when the Menu Item is clicked. What is the best way to code this? I have been trying to do the event handling for the menu items for hours now and can't get it right. I basically want to call a procedure and pass the "Command & Parameter" values to it to use the Process.Start function.[code]

View 5 RepliesVS 2008 Context Menu Left & Right Click Events
Oct 26, 2009Anyways, after thorough researching as much about context menu, I have tried to do a left and right click context menu, including the events that will happen by opening the context menu. I wanted this to happen on a specific place, not the form itself (In this case, a picture).The left click context menu works fine, but when I try a right click context menu, the left click context menu will pop-up as soon as I release the right click button.[code]By using this code, I have a small nuisance of the right click event, where when released, it also uses the left click event. Any ideas of how to, well, stop it opening the left click menu when I release the right click button?Alternatively, I was thinking of using a mouse hover event to replace the right click event, but I'm not that advanced of a programmer.

VS 2008 ContextMenuStrip - Give Labels A Context Menu With Message Box
Jan 1, 2010I'm using VB.NET 2008. I have a form with about 10 or so labels on it, and that could increase the more I develop my assignment. I would like to give each of these labels a context menu, which says "Whats this?" and provide a message box to the user with the appropriate help text. Now what I've done so far is created a contextmenustrip on my forum, and linked all the labels to that single contextmenustrip. I have also added a menu item to that strip called WhatsThisToolStrip MenuItem, but I am at a loss, on where to go next, and find out on what label the contextmenu was activated on?
So for example if a user right clicks the lblStatus label and selects "Whats this?" item a different message box will appear than if the user right clicked the lblSid label.
