View 1 RepliesI'm using VB.NET 2008. I have a form with about 10 or so labels on it, and that could increase the more I develop my assignment. I would like to give each of these labels a context menu, which says "Whats this?" and provide a message box to the user with the appropriate help text. Now what I've done so far is created a contextmenustrip on my forum, and linked all the labels to that single contextmenustrip. I have also added a menu item to that strip called WhatsThisToolStrip MenuItem, but I am at a loss, on where to go next, and find out on what label the contextmenu was activated on?
So for example if a user right clicks the lblStatus label and selects "Whats this?" item a different message box will appear than if the user right clicked the lblSid label.
I have made it so that as soon as the form opens it puts an icon in the tray and when you right click the icon it comes up with a contextmenustrip. in the form I have put a button and a textbox. when you click the button, it creates a new item in the contextmenustrip What I wanted to do was add a peice of code to this new item, is this possible?

So, I am creating the Menu items from a database (no problems here). But I cant seem the get certain menu items to a checked status when creating the menu item from the database.
The Code below is a sample of what I am using.

View 1 RepliesI have single ContextMenuStrip attached to more controls.In use the Opening event of ContextMenuStrip to filter/disable some context entries.In this case the property ContexteMenuStrip.SourceControl is set correctly.The problem I have is on the Click event of a ToolStripMenuItem. This item is inside a ToolStripDropDown. I get the parent item with code:
Dim tsmi As ToolStripMenuItem = DirectCast(DirectCast(DirectCast(sender, ToolStripMenuItem).Owner, ToolStripDropDown).OwnerItem, ToolStripMenuItem)

How someone would select an item from a list box and click a button and have that item go into another listbox with it's price? I seem to be stuck on this part.
Here's my code:
I want to select the first option from the first listbox and I want to put it into another listbox along with the price of that item on the same line in the listbox. I can't seem to figure out how to that.

View 3 RepliesVB 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 have a VB.NET form which was generated when I dropped some fields from a data source table onto a form. To add new records using this form you click on a '+' on the toolbar at the top of the form. What I would like to do is make it so this form functions as if the button had been clicked automatically when it is opened. How do I invoke the add new item ('+') function on a form before the user sees it? When you click on the + a -1 appears in the id field which is on the form but I can't figure out how to cause this with code.

View 1 RepliesI'm using a comboboxcell in a datagridview with the combobox autocompletemode set to SuggestAppend.When I enter the cell and start typing, the autocomplete window pops up. When I click an item in the autocomplete list, the cell value is set and the cell exits edit mode. This has the same effect as selecting an item with up/down arrow keys from the autocomplete list and pressing the enter key.)
I want to copy that behaviour when an item is selected from the combobox dropdown list.E.g. if the user clicks the dropdown arrow button to open the dropdown list, then clicks an item in the list, the cell value should be set to that item, the dropdown should close, and the cell should exit edit mode.I've tried adding a handler to the combobox mouse click event, but the combobox only seems to receive that event if the main part of the combobox is clicked, but not if the mouse is clicked somewhere in the dropdown part. I don't think this matters if the combobox is used in a datagridview or by itself. how to capture a mouse click in the dropdown part of the combobox?
[code] when i click the add button, i can see the item on the datagridview but when i stop the debugging and start again, it appears that the data previously added was not saved on the database.

I have a tool strip menu item who's collection is filled from a subroutine that loads all available com ports on the computer at for load. I know how to generate a click event for menu items that are filled, but not if they haven't been filled already. I guess it doesn't need to be a click event. It just needs to do something that I can get the .text and use it to configure a serial port.
View 6 RepliesI have a listbox that when you click on the item it displays a picture in a picture box and a message in a label. It works fine when an item is manually selected, but I want forward and back buttons that will do this. It works once but it doesn't highlight the new item in the listbox, so it gets stuck. I can't use a loop either.

i'm working on a simple drop down button. all the stuff i tried with context strips ended up misplacing the menu in all the wrong places, so i'm doing a dropdown button with a combobox and a button placed infront of the combobox but not the comboboxes arrow click. what i would like, is to click on a item in the combobox and proceed with command, instead of having to click a go button or such..
also, is it possible to fully customize a combobox? trujade..so much work to do and so many choices to choose from...
