VS 2008 Loading Few Icons To The Toolstrip?
Mar 24, 2011
I have a base form which has toolstrip. I am loading few icons to the toolstrip through the code as given below
mnuFind.Image = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath & "ImagesSearch.ico")
mnuSave.Image = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath & "ImagesSave.ico")
This code is in the form load event of the base form.
At the design time the images are displayed in the form.
The problem is in the inherited form. The inherited form is not loaded in the designer window. It gives the following error.
The service System.Windows.Forms.Design.IEventHandlerService already exists in the service container. Parameter name: serviceType
Some times it says it cannot find the image in the installation path of Visual studio.
If I remove the icons loading in the base form it works fine.

In what file are the icons for the Standard ToolStrip items (New, Open, Save, Print, etc) located?
Where can I find additional Microsoft ToolStrip icons, such as: Save All, Next, Previous, Play, Undo, etc?

How do you use the progressbar of the toolstrip to display the loading of the webbrowser?

I really want to make use of the toolstrip and databinding but these two technologies keep conflicting with each other. I think the root cause is something to with the fact that the toolstrip buttons don't recieve focus in the normal way.
I invite you to try the following:-
1. Create a form and put some text boxes a tool strip with a save button on it.
2. Write a query or sproc to get a datatable back and bind your text boxes to the field in the datatable.
3. In the code behind your Save ToolStripButton put some code that makes an arbitrary change to a field on the dataset (it doesn't matter whther this field is bound to a text box or not). eg:-
m_DataTable.Rows(0).Item("CommissionRatePerc") = "0.0000"
4. Put a breakpoint in the save and run the form.
5. Make some changes in the text boxes. Do not leave the last text box but rather click save while a text box whose contents you have edited still has focus.
6. When your code hits the breakpoint, query the value of the data table field that is bound to the text box you were editing when you clicked save - it will still contain the unedited value. Unless you do something about it that unedited value is going to get saved back to your DB.
We did get around this problem by explicetely setting the focus to another control on the form before saving. That worked most of the time because it prompts the text box to flush it's value back to the datatable (nb EndEdit does not work, although you'd have expected it to). However, and this is the reason I suggested you add a line of code that changed a value in the underlying datatable in step 3, if you change a value in code in this way before the value from the text box get's flushed back then it doesn't seem to matter what you do, the user's current edit is simply lost. They will still show in the text box, though, leading your user to believe that the change has been committed when it hasn't. Our final solution is that we never ever change a value in the adtaset in the code behind our toolstrip buttons. That's working but it's a pretty big restriction.

TortoiseSVN and Dropbox both have Windows shell extensions that make file icons within Windows Explorer show a small icon beside the main one, showing the file's status - has it been synced, etc How can I make my application show icons beside files like that using the Windows API? Or is there some file attribute to do that?

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?

In my project, I was first using two ListViews with a few buttons on the side to control actions (add files, remove files, etc). Now, I thought it looked neater if I incorporated those buttons into a ToolStrip, and put the ListViews into a SplitContainer.So I did... One SplitContainer, on the left side a ListView (docked Full) + ToolStrip (docked Top), on the right side exactly the same.
All of a sudden, (it seems to be pretty random), the right ListView (never the left one) seems to jump 'on top of' the ToolStrip. It looks as if the Z-Order changes so that the docking screws up, but after looking at the Document Outline, it is all still fine. The ToolStrip just seems to disappear from view completely. I have no idea where it went.Then, when I select the ToolStrip in the Component bar (what is that called? where you can see the control icons only for controls such as Dialogs etc), it suddenly pops up again, in the right place! And the ListView scales down a bit so everything is correct once again...
As soon as I select another control, the Listview jumps back up and the Toolstrip disappears again...At first I thought well, not really a problem since I can just select the ToolStrip from the component bar... Nope... It seems that the ToolStrip is also hidden during
I thought it was just a one-off bug and deleted the whole SplitContainer to build it up again. Five minutes later, it happened again.I decided to throw away to complete project and go back to a slightly older version (with the Buttons instead of the ToolStrip) and try it again.Nope, same problem! I have tried to reproduce the bug in a clean project, but no luck...

Now, I allow the user to drag the ToolStrip to the bottom and sides of the form. But when they drag it to the sides, the ToolStripPanels become completely stretched because the text is still drawing horizontally. I know I can set the TextDirection property to make it draw vertically, but I can't figure out how to check the current position of the ToolStrip, and when to check it (which event?)
I have tried the LocationChanged event and did this:
vb.net
Private Sub ts_LocationChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

I was able to extract icons from the current running processes and then put them into a ListView.
I am trying to do the same with files in a specified directory:
vb.net
[Code].....
When I use this code, I get an error stating: "'MainModule' is not a member of 'System.IO.FileInfo'." If I remove the very first line of the sub that specifies the directory, that error obviously goes away.
So, is there another method of extracting the icon? Or must I declare the directory in another way?
I'm getting ready to check MSDN to see if I can something withing the FileInfo Class,

I'm sick of my EXE files only looking decent in one view in explorer (ie List or Tiles etc) because I can only figure out how to specify one icon file for my projects so it has to be a specific size and if its too big it looks rubbish at smaller sizes in explorer, and vice versa if its too small. So how can I embed more than one icon file and make it automatically select the correct one to display in explorer depending on the view? I believe you can store more than one icon in an ICO file, so do you have to just combine the various size icons into one ICO and then explorer will automatically select the correct sized on? Or is it something you have to do within the VB project?
