View 3 RepliesI am looking at creating a Dynamic Menustrip.I have managed to write the code to add subItems to a Item. The root item is called item1 and when the form is run, item1 gets populated by items called subItem[0-5].I am wondering how do I assign an action to a subItem when click? At the moment I want a message box to popup with the subItem's name that has been clicked. I.E If subItem3 is clicked, I want a msgbox to pop up with "subItem3".
code
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
For j As Integer = 0 To 4
Dim subItem As String = String.Format("subItem{0}", j.ToString())

View 1 RepliesI have a DB table with the names of my Menus and a User names. After a User is logging succesfully I go through the table with the Menuitem names and enable /disable the menuitems accordingly.
Can anybody kindly show me a workaround on how to do this. For example i have this table below and after succesfully loging in as username "aaaaa". Menustrip items with name accounts and finance should be enabled and the rest like billing will be disable.

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?
When i drag the menuStrip control onto my form and use SmartTag to insert standard items , i get only menu Items no Icons .. VB 2008 Express edition
View 7 RepliesLet's say I have a menustrip, which has a category "Colors" for example, and in that category there is an option of 20 colors, but I want only 1 to be checked at any one time, now to do that with what I know, I'd have to check every other one of the check boxes and uncheck them in every single click event, is there no cleaner way to do this?
View 5 RepliesI want a menu with just two dropdown lists, the menustrip puts a strip right across the form, is there any way to change the width of the strip? Changing in properties does not work. Is there a different type of menu I can use?

I need to represent the following query using LINQ:
DECLARE @PurchasedInventoryItemID Int = 2
DECLARE @PurchasedInventorySectionID Int = 0
DECLARE @PurchasedInventoryItem_PurchasingCategoryID Int = 3
DECLARE @PurchasedInventorySection_PurchasingCategoryID Int = 0
[code]....
Now, I know that a query in .NET doesnt look like this, this is my test in the SQL Design Studio. Naturally VB.NET variables will be used in place of the SQL local variables.My problem is this: All of the conditions after "WHERE" are optional. In that a query might be made that uses one, some, all, or none of the conditions. V.PropertyID and V.Value can also appear any number of times.In VB.NET I can make this query easy enough by simply concatenating strings, and using a loop to append the "V.PropertyID/V.Value" conditions.I can also make a Stored Procedure in MS SQL, which is easy enough.However, I want to accomplish this using LINQ.
Ive managed to dynamically create a form, and dynamically create a timer, but i have not been able to create the timer on the dynamic form. Specifically, i need to be able to have the timer itself create another form with a timer. (I realize that this would create a new form every interval on the timer, that is what i want to do)
1. A way to add the timer to the dynamic form, and maintain the timer sub on my main form.
2. A way to create the whole thing over (dynamic form and timer) through the previous dynamic form and timer.
I was thinking i could use a collection/array to store the forms and timers, but i'm still having trouble figuring out how to add entire forms or timers into a list. (A timer is not considered a control, so i cant use a controlcollection...)
Heres my code;
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim frm As New Form
[Code]....
*EDIT* Btw, my idea was to use i as a variable that increases every time a form is created, then insert the form into the array, with i as the integer. i just need to know how to create a new form with a different name each time. (as with timers)
I need to be able to hide 2 options that are displayed from my dynamic bulletedlist (which is built inside of a DetailsView). Every time I try writing a loop through the BulletedList, I get an error saying that it is not a collection type, so I thought I could loop through the DetailsView to find the items I want to hide.
I can't change the SQL because this particular bulleted list gets used on 2 different pages, it's just that on one, I only need to show 2 of the 4 items that are associated with the ID.[code]...

View 4 RepliesSmall problem on vb2008 express:I have added a menustrip on a form, and I would like to add a drop down list or a combobox on that menulist and populate the fields from my access database.
Unfortunately I can't find the data source connection I would usually find on combo boxes used inside the form and not in a menu strip.Can someone please tell me how I can populate a combo box or a drop down list that is located in a menu strip?
How can i access the other icons for the menustrip control?When you add a menustrip, icons as new, open and save is allready included, but i want the other ones, like undo and such.
View 7 RepliesI am working on a MDI form application. I have got a menustrip control and some toolstrips. I want to add a button to the menustrip, to close active document. In the Word 2003 or Excel 2003 there is a similar �close button� at the very right side of the menustrip. Menustrip only allows me to add menu item, textbox and combo box. I can�t add a button?
View 4 RepliesI am used to working with menubars in v2003 and before and could merge menu items with no problem. I used the code below in combination with merge order settings in the menu bar and it worked great. Now using Menustrips, I find my code does not want to convert since there are Items in the menustrip and menuitems in the menu bars.
'Determine if a Menu exists.

I need to merge a child menustrip into the parent menustrip when the user opens a module from clicking an item in the parent menustrip item.
I have a Menustrip in Visual Basic 2008. My question is how do I check only one menu item at a time? Lets assumed I have a MenuScript that is titled Fruits. When you click on Fruits, you get a drop down of four fruits. Apples, Orange, Bananas and Mango.

When I open a form the caption is added to my menustrip under open windows. This is fine. However I want to remove this from the menustrip when i close the form.

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 a listview box full of items, image below:
when i click a button i would like a msgbox to pop up displaying how many are alive.
How would i do this ?
Also how would i remove all items that status is "Dead"
