I have in a menu a ToolStripTextBox where the user can enter a CASE NUMBER to FIND. And I have a ToolStripMenuItem below that says QUICK FIND - clicking this will find the case you put in the textbox. Tabbing out of the textbox puts you at this TOOLSTRIPMENUITEM so that ENTER on the keyboard will trigger the FIND. I want to make it so that pressing ENTER while still in the textbox will trigger that same TOOLSTRIPMENUITEM action. Do I have to trap keypresses or is there a more natural way to accomplish this?
I am placing 2 of these on my form and want to do the following:
1. When the control is not Focused and the user clicks inside the control, I want to highlight all text within the control. I expect to use SelectAll() to accomplish this.
2. When the control IS Focused and the user clicks inside the control, I want standard actions to occur; i.e., the user can click-and-drag to highlight, double-click to highlight,
3. When the user leaves the control (clicks on something elsle), if the control is empty, I want to populate it with pre-defined text. If it's not empty, leave text as-is.
I'm having problems, though, with figuring out #1 and #3. I have tried Enter/Leave, GotFocus/LostFocus to no avail. With Enter/Leave, the text will highlight the first time a user enters the control, but I can't seem to get the program to think the user has "left" the control. That is, the "Enter" code will not fire again.
I also thought about using the Click event, but I don't want the SelectAll() code to fire for EVERY click in the TextBox controls.
I have a ToolStripTextBox on a ContextMenu that opens upon right-clicking a NotifyIcon in the systray that I'm using to 'filter' what is shown in the menu. My trouble is that as soon as the text box loses focus, the menu closes. Is there a way to force the menu to stay open?
I tried changing "AutoClose" to false, but then my menu wouldn't open at all when the NotifyIcon was clicked.
i want to loop through toolstripmenuitem child of toolstripmenuitem but i dont fine yet :
For Each mnu As ToolStripMenuItem In Trangchu.MenuStrip1.Items For Each mnu2 As ToolStripMenuItem In mnu ( red word is error ) Please show me) MsgBox(mnu.Text) Next Next
I'm developing an application which is having Menustips with few elements. My structure is as follows;
Add-on Modules |_ Data Export | |_ Back Office export
[Code]....
I set the visibility in each leaf element as per the permission given in DB. But I want to set visibility=false in case all the leaf elements are set to false.
e.g If POS interface and Backoffice Interface are set to False, Then I need to hide the Parent (Interfaces) too.
here is what i want to do have a ToolStripMenuItem in a ToolStripDropDownButton menu what i want to do is have an option to not hide the menu when the ToolStripMenuItem is clicked so i wrote the following:
I had a lengthy subroutine with handler routines, like this, before:
Private Sub CompMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles _ ToolStripMenuItem3.Click, ToolStripMenuItem4.Click, ToolStripMenuItem5.Click,
Dim oLanguages As SortedList = Languages() 'Languages() is my custom Function Dim oLanguageMenu(oLanguages.Count) As ToolStripMenuItem For n As Integer = 0 To oLanguages.Count - 1
[Code]....
The last line produces an error: "value cannot be null. Parameter name: value".
I'm trying to add functionality to my application to let user define "custom actions" in one of the context menus.Essentially, these would be command lines that can be executed against remote machines.I've got the code to add the menu items working but I'm not sure of the best of storing the data related to the menu items. At the moment I'm using a Specialized.StringCollection in the project settings but this only allows me to store a single line (i.e. the command line).This means that the text of the menu items is whatever command line the user has defined (not ideal).What I would like is to have a "friendly" name for the menu item (e.g. Start Notepad) and have that associated to notepad.exe.What's a good way to store this data so that I best dynamically build the menu items every time?
I have a toolstriptextbox and a custom context menu strip with a "Cut" menu item. When you select text in the textbox, display the context menu and select the menu item, the cut method of the textbox is being executed, the text is pushed to the clipboard, but the text is not being removed from the textbox. The code is as simple as follows.
Sub menuItemCut_Click (byval sender as object, e as eventargs) handles menuItemCut.Click textbox.Cut() End Sub
I have verified the event is fired, and the selected text in textbox gets sent to the clipboard. For some reason the selected text is not removed from the textbox. Has anyone ran into this issue before when working with a toolstriptextbox?
I have a ToolStripTextBox (the name of it is SearchBox) and I would like it when after the user types something and presses enter it takes them to a URL. I've got the URL part sorted out, but I need to know what goes afterI don't see any event in the intellisense popup for something when the user presses "enter."So, in other words, how do I perform an action after the user presses enter?
Private Sub ToolStripComboBox1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SearchBox.**?????** Dim SearchString As String
i want to make it so my toolstriptextbox will smoothly size with the form as i resize it. I tried using a timer and just say txtbox1.width = me.size.width - 100 or whatever space for the buttons and handling it for when it reaches negative numbers (with autosize off on the textbox) but its not at all smooth.
I have mainform which has a menustrip and it contains many level of menuItems every thing works fine, but my question is when I display the form form any MenuItem by the click event and when I close or dispose the called form it dose not display where thelevel where it was called from, instead it come back to the top level menu and no one is selected.
I have a custom toolstrip renderer, which works perfect. But I want to change the forecolor of the toolstripmenuitems too. How can I achieve this?This code should be completed:
Public Class mymenu Inherits Windows.Forms.MenuStrip Public Sub New()[code]......
Below is the code that is adding a toolstripmenuitem at runtime. I do need to check elsewhere to see if it exists. What I have below is incorrect. How would I change the conditional check below?
ToolStripMenuItemFile.DropDownItems.Add("Save") ToolStripMenuItemFile.DropDownItems(2).Click += New EventHandler(SaveFile_Click) If ToolStripMenuItemFile.DropDownItems(2) IsNot Nothing Then ToolStripMenuItemFile.DropDownItems(2).Text = rm.GetString("Save") End If
Am facing the below issue while converting my application from vb6 to vb.net.[code]The menu is getting displayed always at the top left. I need to set it exactly as wher I right click.
I have this: For Each oToolStripMenuItem As ToolStripMenuItem In oToolStripMenuItemMain.DropDownItems '... Next First line produces an exception because it runs into a ToolStripSeparator. How to modify this loop so it won't?
I am having trouble figuring out a way to add click events to ToolStripMenuItems generated off data from a ListView object.In short, i have a ToolStripButton called 'View', in that i have a ToolStripMenuItem called 'Group'- What i have already accomplished is adding sub-items to the 'Group' ToolStripMenuButton. These items are based of ListViewGroups inside of my ListView.
Here is the code for what i've done so far:
Code: Private Sub ToolStripButton3_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton3.MouseEnter 'LOAD GROUPS INTO MENU LIST GroupToolStripMenuItem2.DropDownItems.Clear()
[code]....
As you can see, this will generate a ToolStripMenuItem inside the 'Group' ToolStripMenuItem for each group that is located inside my ListView- as well as add a constant ToolStripMenuItem, 'All', for viewing all groups again.What i am unsure on how to do is program in the OnClick Event for each of the generated ToolStripMenuItems?
I'm trying to do MVP where I have a view specific model that the presenter manipulates and the view binds to. There is no other connection between the presenter and view (the view fires off commands to the domain model via a gateway type pattern).
As you can guess, this makes the ability to bind to any property of any object really important.
I'm having trouble finding the correct way to bind to the Enabled property of a ToolStripMenuItem. Most controls have a .DataBindings property, but this one seems to lack it. I haven't found much info online about how to do this. Is it even possible?
I have single ContextMenuStrip attached to more controls.In use the Opening event of ContextMenuStrip to filter/disable some context entries.In this case the property ContexteMenuStrip.SourceControl is set correctly.The problem I have is on the Click event of a ToolStripMenuItem. This item is inside a ToolStripDropDown. I get the parent item with code:
Dim tsmi As ToolStripMenuItem = DirectCast(DirectCast(DirectCast(sender, ToolStripMenuItem).Owner, ToolStripDropDown).OwnerItem, ToolStripMenuItem)
How do you change the color of a toolstripmenuItem when it is selected?
When Clicked on to open up the drop down menu.
I can change the Background for everything else, but when I click on the toolstripmenuItem the dropdown shows up correctly but the MenuItem changes to an incorrect color.
I understand that Checked is a boolean, which is not the case of CheckState.I understand that CheckState also have a undeterminate possible value.But I don't understand why we have them both. I think that CheckState would be sufficient. What is the need for Checked ?
I have a context menu attached to a panel, that should mirror commands available in a toolbar menu.Currently in my MouseUp event, I set the enabled state of the MenuItems, and add them to the context menu:
So I have a ToolStrip menu item "New", when pressed it creates an MDI child window and adds new toolstrip menu item to the parent window and when clicked it focuses on the window I created before, so I could easly navigate if I have loads of windows. This code perfectly works in VS2008:
Private Sub NewToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NewToolStripMenuItem.Click Dim frm As New Form() Static ic As New Integer ic += 1
