I see many programs using a menu strip similar to the folowing: My grey menu style just looks ugly... I guess I should not use the image as background, because XP has other style menustrips, so it must be some sort of menu strip. How can I make a menustrip with that style?

View 4 RepliesI use a menustrip as the main navigation for my program. Currently I have separate code for the menustip on each page. Recently I found that I could create a form template using inheritance and include the menu strip on the template. The problem I run into is that when I open another form using the menu strip the original form is still open and my references to me.close are no longer active. Is there a way to close the form that the user is leaving?

View 1 Repliesmy application has "picked up" the old style button design. In Vista the buttons have a slight shadow / 3d effect, however, my application appears not be using the default style and instead applying the older XP, Win98 typ appearance. At first it didnt bother me, however, not its annoying and rather than rip all my code out and apply it to a new project, i would prefer to remove the offending code call.
Its a long shot, but i thought i would see if anyone here knew what might be causing it?

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to make buttons that will open each of the "special folders" in Windows Vista. Here's an example:
Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click
Process.Start("explorer.exe", Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments))
End Sub
As you can see in the above code, the button will open the Documents folder. My problem is the only folders this method can open are the documents, pictures and music folders, while I also want to open these folders below:
Downloads
Videos
User folder (aka the folder that has the user name on it)
Computer (aka My Computer in XP)
how to do that?

View 3 RepliesI am learning VB at the moment and i'm planning how i'm going to make a simple quiz style web application. I want to have a series of questions, one per panel, that a user can select from multiple choice and proceed to next question with at least one option needing to be selected before going to the next question. At the end users get their score out of X.
Forgetting the validation and other bits i need. My thinking is to use a series of panels that have my questions in, so one panel per question, and by default they are all set no invisible bar the first question. Then as the user selects the question the next panel is revealed and the previous hidden, and so on etc.
I'm working with a ListView. I wanna make listview like Windows Explorer style.
