MenuStrip With Dropdowns And ToolStrip With Buttons
Jul 14, 2010VS2008 .NET 3.5SP1
I've got a MenuStrip with dropdowns and a Toolstrip with buttons. I don't want the button images in the image margin of the dropdown because they are too small to read properly. I can't seem to find the ShowImageMargin property (in either the MenuStrip or the ToolStripMenuItems) to turn the margin off. I've constructed the menu items in the designer.

View 9 Replies[2005] Hiding The Titlebar, MenuStrip, ToolStrip Etc?
Feb 1, 2009I have been playing with the Windows API.A Windows application typically has a TitleBar (with a caption on it), underneath is a MenuStrip, under that a ToolStrip (with the tool icons on it), and under that the main application area.I want to be able to strip everything off, except for the main application area.I have found how to hide the TitleBar, using:
GetWindowLong (and passing to it the handle of the form, and GW_STYLE to get the current windows style)SetWindowLong (and passing to it the handle of the form, the InitialStyle, and ORing with it WS_DLGFRAME) how to remove the MenuStrip and ToolStrip to leave just the main application area?
Code so far:
Public Class Form1

Display A Toolstrip Directly Beneath A Menustrip In Application?
Nov 18, 2009I need to display a toolstrip directly beneath a menustrip in my application, but setting RenderMode = Professional for each does not give identical results. They both show a background gradient, but not the same one.
Is there some way to use menustrip rendering for the toolstrip, or vice versa? Or can someone advise how best to implement a gradient myself, that I can perform in a sub-classed renderer?
There's just one more issue -- if I base my custom renderer on the ToolStripProfessionalRenderer and override OnRenderToolstripBackground, I still get curved right-hand corners on my ToolStrip but not on my MenuStrip. Is there some internal logic that provides a different Region for filling by the background renderer? I've turned off (overridden with a do-nothing function) the border renderer.

View 1 RepliesToolStrip On A Databound Form - Toolstrip Buttons Don't Receive Focus In The Normal Way ?
Mar 24, 2009I 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.
IDE :: Toolstrip Dialog Objects Do Not Appear In Component Tray In Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional On A Windows 7 System
Oct 5, 2011I am running Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional on a Windows 7 system.While working on a visual basic exercise in chapter 4 of the Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Step by Step book on the MyMenu program I added a Toolstrip to my form and then I was trying to perform the add OpenFileDialog and ColorDialog controls to the component tray as described at the bottom of page 111 under Using Dialog Box Controls. I could never get the controls to appear in the component tray as instructed in the book.
I added a toolstrip to the form. According to my instructions I should be able to click on the Open file icon on the toolstrip to select it and then click anywhere else on the form. When I do that, the OpenFileDialog should appear on the component tray where I can then select it to enter code. This however does not happen.The only way I was able to get them to appear in the component tray was by opening the Menu program supplied on the DVD under chapter 4, selecting both of the above controls on the component tray, right clicking and then press copy. I then closed the Menu program and opened the MyMenu program that I created and then I was able to paste the two object controls to the component tray.
I went back to the original Menu program to see if I was able to place any other controls on the component tray by following the instructions in the book but was not able to. I also tried the same thing with MyMenu and it also still would not work.I have been unable to find anything that might explain why the component tray does not work as explained. Perhaps there is some setting somewhere that needs changed, but all searches have been unsuccessful.
PS. I have entered this on one of the other MicroSoft forums and although it has gotten multiple views I have not yet received any feedback.I also get the following error: Cannot add component of type 'ToolStripButton' to container of type 'form'.
VS 2010 Creating A Dynamic Menustrip?
Aug 18, 2011I 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".

Dim subItem As String = String.Format("subItem{0}", j.ToString())

Apr 16, 2010I am trying to create an infrastructure library to be used by all my projects where one of the project in that library contains the base forms for different things like ViewBase, EditBase, SearchBase & DialogBase. They all are inherited from a Base form which contains a toolstrip control with 3 common buttons for OK, Close & About.Now depending on the type of base form I would like to add few more buttons and controls on the toolstrip during the design time. For example the SearchBase would have a Search, Clear buttons and so forth and so on.

VS 2008 Software-Only 3D Renderer
May 31, 2010That's what I'm planning on making, for the unfortunate people like me who don't have DirectX8-compatible videocards. So, I'll put a poll similar to chris128's. First of all, is this is even possible in VB.NET without a truly ridiculous amount of code? What would be the performance cost? Is there a formula I can use to incorporate the Z coordinate and the viewing angle to X,Y coordinates? I've got a lot of it done already, and this is a rather key component I'm missing
View 2 RepliesVS 2010 - Clicking Subitem Of Toolstrip Menu And Get Text
Jan 7, 2012I'm trying to make it where when I click the subitem of a toolstrip menu, I can get the text I am clicking.
For example: This is my toolstripmenu, I'm trying to make it when I can get the text of what I'm clicking like the My Subscribers, My Contacts etc.
I tried this:
Private Sub ContextMenuStrip1_ItemClicked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItemClickedEventArgs) Handles ContextMenuStrip1.ItemClicked
End Sub
But all this does it get the main menu item click such as Add Selected Users to New Group. The subitems are added programmatically through this.
