VS 2010 Custom Shutdown Menu Item?
Oct 1, 2011
I have thought that it would be pretty cool to make Boot Snooze, iReboot and similar programs accessible from the Windows Shutdown menu. It would be a pretty neat way to interface with such programs. I realize that this may be extremely advanced stuff here, but I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this. I would prefer to be able to do this in VB.Net, but I realize it may only be possible in C++, if it is at all. I have tried Googling it, but, most likely due to the advanced nature, I have not found any good results (only "Add Hibernate", "Change default action to Hibernate", etc.).

I've got a dynamically filled datagrid view. When a user right clicks a cell in the datagridview, it opens a context menu, located by that cell. The context menu has two choices: A and B. I want to set the value of the cell to A if they pick A, and B if they pick B.I would like to pass the relevant cell as a field in the event args passed to ContextMenu's ToolStripItem.click. So the handler for ToolStripItem A's click event would read the relevant cell from the event args and set it to A , like this...
Private Sub A_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Customized System.EventArgs) Handles A.Click
e.relevantCell.Value=A
End Sub
how to pass a custom event arg. Or if there is some easier way to do this? I can't just use the X and Y coordinates, because the context menu/mouse won't necessary by over the relevant cell.

I have written a VB.Net Windows Application using VS2003.Net under the 1.1.4322 framework. This application loads a lot of data on startup (about 4MB, taking about 30 seconds) and that data needs to be readily available to the user, so I wrote it to sit in the system tray, using the NotifyIcon and ContextMenu objects.Everything is working fine, even the menu (I have simple options like 'Update' to update the datasets, 'Show' to show the form, 'Hide' to hide the form, and 'Close' to actually close the application).However, when the user attempts to do a Windows 'Log Off', 'Restart', or 'Shutdown', the system refuses.After shutting down every application on the users' computers EXCEPT for my application, the system still refuses to perform the LogOff, Restart, or Shutdown event.In fact, the application I wrote does not even perform it's 'Dispose' method.[code]Therefore, I am convinced that it is my application interrupting the system's process somehow.I have written other Windows Applications WITHOUT the context menu / notify icon objects (apps that don't sit in the system tray) and this problem does not occur.I have also written other applications that DO sit in the system tray, and the same problem occurrs.To summarize this problem: I believe there is something wrong with the way my application is responding to the System events 'Log Off', 'Shutdown', and 'Restart'.This is occurring on Windows XP SP2 computers (has not been tested elsewhere).Could someone explain to me why this happens?? Is there some workaround or some known bug in .Net that causes System Tray applications to interact differently with Windows system events than expected??

I have a menu item which is set to be the MdiWindowListItem. If I open several child windows, they appear in the Windows menu on the MDI Parent as expected. If I minimize one or more of the child forms they appear along the bottom of the parent and are still in the list. So far so good. If I select one of the non-minimized child forms which is behind another, then it comes to the front, which is what I expect. However if I select from the Windows menu item one of the minimized child forms, the it's title bar is activated showing it is selected, but it doesn't restore to its previous state. How do I get the minimized child form to automatically restore (to normal or maximised) when I select it from the Windows list.
I have tried using the Activated event for the child, but it has undesirable effects (ie restores at times when you don't want it to!)

How do I make a menu item on a menu strip link to another windows form (like a menu item that links to an about page already created in the project). I know that every coder knows how to do this, but i've read most of the instructions in the world for Visual Basic coding, but can't find ANYTHING I know coding fairly well, so I can modify it, but I can't create it my self.

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 recently installed WSP Builder on a machine with Visual Studio 2008 already installed.Quite expectedly, the WSP Builder sub-menu appeared (and still appears) under the Visual Studio 2008 Tools menu.Having then installed Visual Studio 2010 Professional and installed WSP Builder a second time, I can not seem to find the WSP Builder sub-menu anywhere under any of the Visual Studio 2010 menus.Can anyone throw some light on this "missing menu" problem?

I'm trying to make a program that adds a menu item when right clicking files.I got a C# code here:[URL] and converted it to VB.
It's working perfectly but the trouble is, it adds a menu item to folders and not files.
These are the registry entries i added:
Private Const MenuName As String = "FoldershellNewMenuOption"
Private Const Command As String = "FoldershellNewMenuOptioncommand"
convert them so it adds the menu item to a file?

I have a text box field for which I want to use a couple of custom commands accessible via a context menu. I can add my custom context menu to my text box, but then I lose the standard windows ones (i.e. Undo, copy, paste, etc).
What I really want is a context menu with both my custom options and the standard windows options. I want that to take place only within my application (i.e. not like a shell extension).

how to delete a item from the context menu.. i can add a item with this code:
Private Sub Button7_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button7.Click
ContextMenuStrip4.Items.Add("delete file")
End Sub
no problem there. and to delete this item, i figured since it is the 4th item in the contextmenu (and i can't type the "delete file" either w/o error) it would delete it by index, with this code:
Private Sub Button8_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button8.Click
ContextMenuStrip4.Items.Remove(3)
End Sub
the (3) is giving me a error "value of type 'interger' cannot be converted to 'system.windows.forms.toolstripmenu'".. i think that means that the context menu does not support indexing.
