I've got a menu with checkable items that appears on two different forms, and I'm making sure the two forms always have the same check states, so Form1 would have something like this:
Private Sub mnuWarnings_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnuWarnings.CheckedChanged
'when one of these is checked, the other should also be
[code].....
But that yields this error:
An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: The form referred to itself during construction from a default instance, which led to infinite recursion. Within the Form's constructor refer to the form using 'Me.'
There definitely aren't any references to Form1 within Form1.It only occurs when I use CheckedChanged--if I use mnuWarnings.Click, it works fine. And it only occurs in Form1 (the main form); CheckedChanged works fine on Form2.
I want to use property bindings under application settings to store settings for my program. However I have run into a problem. For some reason the checked property is not binding to drop down menu item's checked state. The binding works for text boxes and other controls. I have tried to bind both using the checked property, and checked state property. Auto check on click for the menu items are set to true.
Anyone have any recommendations in getting the app-settings property binding to work without the need to manually set that info and manually run My.Settings.Save?
I have the following linq statement to go through a dropdown menu's sub items and get what items are checked: vb Dim UnselectedItems = From xItem As ToolStripMenuItem In tsiSelectObjects.DropDownItems Where TypeOf xItem Is ToolStripMenuItem AndAlso CType(xItem, ToolStripMenuItem).Checked = False
I get this error tho: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripSeparator' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripMenuItem'. As you can probably guess i have ToolStripMenuItems and separators in there
However the AndAlso should short circuit in the case where the item is not a ToolStripMenuItem and it doesn't seem to be doing so (as TypeOf xItem Is ToolStripMenuItem=false in this case)?
I am able to have checked menu items show the variables that I need to show, but they don't uncheck themselves unless I go back and click them. I want to have only one checkmark on a country at a time...is there any way? I've tried if...elseif , but that doesn't work....example below (If I only want Mexico checked and NOT United States, but both are checked still).
If MexicoToolStripMenuItem.CheckState = CheckState.Checked Then UnitedStatesToolStripMenuItem.CheckState=CheckState.Unchecked... End IF
I have two menu items from which I choose the interface language of a program (English or French).I want either of them to be chosen, both can not be chosen at the same time. I went over the properties of ToolStripMenuItem object and saw three properties that are confusing (Checked, CheckState and CheckOnClick), how can I mix them so that I get that functionality, I mean that when I check the French, the English gets unchecked and vice versa.

Why is this code having the opposite effect? If It's checked in the checkedlistbox it's not check in my view, if it's not check in my checkedlistbox it is checked in the grid.
EDIT: More specifically. The CheckState.Checked is always the opposite. .Checked means it's not checked.
Private Sub CheckedListBox1_ItemCheck(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemCheckEventArgs) Handles CheckedListBox1.ItemCheck Try
I have a situation where I have a hierarchy. I'm trying to use LINQ to get all of the items throughout the hierarchy as opposed to For Each loops. I spent some time looking for examples, but most where C# using lambdas, and I'm not quite sure I understand it. I'd like to try to get all of the Items for a specific system, the levels of items could be n-levels deep.
How do I get the set of checked items in a checkedlistbox when an item is checked or unchecked, given that ItemCheck event occurs before the check state is actually updated? (The SelectedIndexChanged event won't work in my case.)
I have a menu strip. In the menu strip I have something for some saved urls in the database, I called it Bookmarks. So I'm trying to fetch the items from the database and have it load in to the menu items.. but it keeps adding items and I only want them added once. [Code]
I have currently changed the color of background Menustrip using this code
[Code]...
How do i change the Hover color of menu items and dropdown menu items to orange including the background color which holds icons in menustrip dropdown.....
I want to display distinct items from a column in a checked list box then make a selection or selections and perform commands based on info from a second column in that database the database is a small Access 2010 database in the application directory right now I added the data source and items dont display even though I selected that source in the checked list box properties
Dataset = MyDataSet1 CheckedListBox = MyListBox1
I tried it with a combo box and it shows items but includes duplicates, did I setup the datasource wrong?
I've got a checked listbox on my form which saves the checked items to a spot in my database on the .ItemCheck event.But there's a problem, when I begin checking items, I check the box and click off it, but it doesn't save. (This is if I've only chosen one item)
If I choose two or more items it will save, but unchecking them takes a lot of clicking around to figure it out.Is there a better event that I can use? I've tried the SelectedIndexChanged and that has the same result, there's a lot of clicking around in the checkboxes to end up with the desired selected items, and it does not allow a single item.
I've tracked a recursion error down to one subroutine, So when my form loads, it populates some listboxes from a database; any one of these causes the error: ListboxQuery("select sculptname, sculptid from sculptures;", CloseSculptList, "sculptname", "sculptid") ListboxQuery("select distinct eventtype from events;", EventTypeList, "eventtype", "eventtype") 'etc, etc
And here's the subroutine (it's querying a MySQL database): Public Sub ListboxQuery(ByVal queryText As String, ByVal resultObject As Object, ByVal resultDisplay As String, ByVal resultValue As String) 'queries the database for a 1- or 2-column list of values to display in a listbox Dim myCommand As New MySqlCommand Dim myAdapter As New MySqlDataAdapter [Code] .....
The error is the standard recursion error: An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: The form referred to itself during construction from a default instance, which led to infinite recursion. Within the Form's constructor refer to the form using 'Me.'
This is weird for two reasons: One, as you can see, the subroutine doesn't refer to the form at all, so I don't see how it could cause a recursion error, and two, I wrote this subroutine almost a year ago and it only caused this error last week.
I have a form which has a menu bar. This bar then has sub-menus i.e. the top menu is passwords and the 2 sub menu's are change password and delete password.This works fine when the user selects the menu item by clicking with the mouse
Private Sub ChangePasswordToolStripMenuItem_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ChangePasswordToolStripMenuItem.Click PasswordForm.ShowDialog() End Sub
What I want to do is under certain conditions run the menu item automatically from within the code.
I have a Windows form with a menu strip (the built-in one, nothing custom).I want to add a new list of items to one of the current menu items programmatically (no problem, done that).The new list of items I am adding is unsorted, but I want them to appear on the menu in alphabetical order.
Is it possible to make this function iterative or must it be recursive?
The Function traverses a grid of x length and y height. At each point in the grid, it checks all of it's neighbors to see if they are valid, meaning they exist in the grid and haven't been used yet.
The function works in it's current form but I was wondering if an iterative version would be more efficient.
PathManip is a Stringbuilder, stores the path currently being manipulated. PathQueue is a List(Of String), stores all paths yet to be traversed.
IsPathAlreadyUsed is a boolean function that checks whether or not a specified point has been used in the current path.
Sub FindNeighbors(ByVal coords As String) Dim x As Integer = CInt(coords(coords.Length - 2).ToString) Dim y As Integer = CInt(coords(coords.Length - 1).ToString)
I have two forms. A main form and then another form that you can change settings in. Now when I click on the menu item to get to the settings form I get this error. "An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: The form referred to itself during construction from a default instance, which led to infinite recursion. Within the Form's constructor refer to the form using 'Me.'"I've tried these codes.
frmSettings.Show() Application.Run(frmSettings)
those didn't work so i tried these
dim settings as new form = frmSettings settings.show() dim settings as form
[code]....
and those didn't work. I'm using visual studio 2010 Pro.
I developed an app, tested on few computers and all seemed fine. But now, some people suddenly get an error, which I can't repeat on my computers. Part of the exception:
** Exception Text ** System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'NumoABC.functionsBurtuSummas' threw an exception. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: The form referred to itself during construction from a default instance, which led to infinite recursion. Within the Form's constructor refer to the form using 'Me.' at NumoABC.My.MyProject.MyForms.Create__Instance__[T](T Instance) in 17d14f5c-a337-4978-8281-53493378c1071.vb:line 180 at NumoABC.My.MyProject.MyForms.get_MainForm() [Code] .....
The If Me.Created = False Then is because while the form is loading, some events fire the updatePersonDataHandlers() sub, but I don't want it to happen until form is fully loaded. In the module functionsBurtuSummas line 2 Module functionsBurtuSummas Private f As MainForm = MainForm I have many modules who work with the MainForms' controls, so I use a private variable f to refer to the MainForm.
I have combed these forums and the 'net and can't find an answer to my specific problem. My menu strip disappeared (after deleting a small secondary form within my project). I therefore created a new strip and while recreating the menu items realized that the original menu items are still present, showing in my properties list. I have checked my design file as well and the original menu strip is definitely gone but the original menu items are there. I don't have many items so I would have no problem just deleting the original ones but I can't see them to delete them! I have checked and they are all set to visible. I have also moved everything on my form to see if it is behind anything else.
Suppose I have ToolStripMenuItem mnuOrderOptions that contains the three drop down items. I want to copy all the items are their respective event handlers to Contextmenu on button click & then bound that context menu with the form.
Private Sub AToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AToolStripMenuItem.Click MsgBox("A") End Sub[code]....
how to clone the menu items and then bound it to form context menu.
I am wanting to create a menu based on items in my MS SQL database i have 3 tables
FormTbl
FormID - Int Eg (1)
FormName - nvarchar(50) Eg (Form1)
[CODE]...................
I can get the form names to be populated in to the menu and can open it my question is how do i set where the menu items will be placed. Eg File with FormHierarch 0 will be the very first one. Exit with FormHierarch 0.1 will be the very first one under File
Private Sub Main_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim menu As New MenuStrip() Dim dst As DataTable = User.MenuItems(Me.ToolStripStatusLabel1.Text)
My visual studio 2005 has been running great up till now The menu items in the menu toolbar display exactly as follows:File File Edit Edit View View File File Edit Edit View View Tools Tools Tools Tools Window Window Community Community Help Help Window Window Community Community Help Help
Error List is displayed as follows:(I've excluded the icons)0 Errors 0 Errors 0 Warnings 0 Warnings 0 Messages 0 Messages The standard toolbar images are also displayed in 'duplicate'
This is before I open a project and visual studio is on the start page. The 'duplicates' do not go away even when a project is open.When project is open, Solution explorer displays duplicate images as well
I've tried all the following but still cannot get it to display normally. Restored my computer to a time when it was working ok. Full scan on my computer with AVG premium which includes spyware etc (No viruses , etc found) All software is updated fully
I am reading information on missed deadlines from a database. For each missed deadline I add a item to the checked listbox and store the deadline's information in an array. I now want to disiplay all the selected (in the checkedlistbox) deadlines' information in another control, but at the moment I am getting an error. This is the code I am currently using to check which items have been selected
Dim x as integer For x = o to array.count - 1 do If checkedlistbox.GetItemChecked(x) = true do 'Here I am displaying array.item(x)'s information in the other control end if next
1) Say I have five items in the checked list box and I select all five items, when it gets to x= 3 it gives me the following error "ARGUMENT OUT OF RANGE EXCEPTION was unhandled: InvalidArgument=Value of '3' is not valid for 'index'. Parameter name: index" 2) Say I have five items in the checked list box and I select ONLY the first two items, when it gets to x=4 it gives me the same error as above only for the number 4.
I have tried the methods/functions GetItemCheckedState, SelectedIndices and GetSelected as well, but they all give the same or similar errors. According to me the index cannot be out of range as I have five items in the checkedlistbox as well as the array.
