VS 2008 : How To Use Context Menu
Oct 17, 2009
I'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)
[code]....

VB 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.

I 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]

I'm using a RichTextBox and I would like to have the standard contextmenu (Right Click menu) that the standard TextBox control has (i.e. ifyou use TextBox instead of RichTextBox, there is a standard contextmenu with Cut, Copy, Paste and few other selections right out of thebox, you don't need to do anything).

I created a context menu so that when I right click on a file name in a list box, the context menu is displayed.
Private Sub ListBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ListBox1.MouseDown
If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then
[Code]....
The problem instead of appearing just over list box, the context menu is appearing even outside my form!
How do I make it appear just besides my listbox?

Anyways, 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.

I'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.

I open a context menu by right clicking it.
It stays open when the cursor leaves it.
I click a main menu item.
The drop down opens at the top left of the screen.
Not under the main menu item I clicked.

I have a blank form and when the use right clicks on the form, they get a context menu with any number of names in the menu. This changes depending on the situation. I can get the context menu to add/remove the list of names but when I click on one of the choices and it goes to my routine (from addhandler) I can't find the property that tells me what they clicked on...

Is there another way to add a Context Menu to a ToolStrip other than using the MouseDown Event? I want to use it to let people select to either show text labels on buttons in the ToolStrip or turn them off.

I have an application that is simply an icon that sits in the system tray, with a context menu that opens upon right-clicking. One of the options in the menu is a text box where the user can enter a number, and press enter to perform a specific action (which is not significant to my question). The problem with this, however, is that if the mouse moves away from the text box, the menu closes.
Is there a way to keep the menu open as long as the text box has focus no matter what?

I have an application. If I press a button, a menu show up.
How do I get a handle to that menu?
I use spy ++. It seems that the menu is not a child of the button.
I use FindWindowEx but I don't think I got the right handle.
Here is another possibly related question
Why the handle of a menu is of type HMENU rather than HWND?
In VB.net they're both integer right?
