View 1 RepliesI want to use this function in my program
EnableMenuItem Function - [URL}
how to use it, i am trying to edit right click explorer context menu
I want to add an option to the explorer context menu that appears whenever a user right clicks on a folder or drive. So I add the following reg key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTFoldershellMyProgramcommand
"(Default)" value within is set to:
C:MyProgram.exe "%1"
and all works fine for folders, the %1 gets expanded to the relevant folder path that the user clicked on. However, when right clicking on a drive (e.g C drive in My Computer) the fact that the path then has a trailing backslash seems to seems to mess things up as the backslash acts as an escape character and makes the last quote mark get passed in as part of the command line (and the backslash is removed completely).For example if the following command is called from a context menu generated by the user right clicking on their C drive: "MyProgram.exe" "%1" You would expect the final command line to be this:MyProgram.exe C:But what actually happens is this: MyProgram.exe C:" I can add a backslash in manually (e.g "%1") but then it works fine for drives and not for folders.

View 4 RepliesUsing VB 2010 Express, I will try to explain what I want to achieve:1. The user installs my program.2. In an Explorer window (Vista/Win7) the user will right click any file.3. The program checks if there is an item called "MyApp" in the context menu (i.e. the menu with for instance the "Open with..." item). If not, then create the "MyApp" item which launches "TheRealApp.exe" that the user installed. Place the item after the "Print" item.

I have a ContextMenuStrip click event. I was hoping to use this whenever a user clicked onto the ContextMenuStrip or one of its subitems. I have noticed that it does not fire when the user clicks on the sub items. Is there another click event that includes both the main menu And its sub items. Note that I also have added individual events to the individual menu items and sub items to capture specific code for these items. As such, I already know that I can use these events and call my desired code snippet in each of these if I have to. However I was wondering if there was another general click event that captures all the items (main + sub).
Private Sub ContextMenuStrip1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ContextMenuStrip1.Click
'Some code here
End Sub
I made context menu for UltrawinGrid, when i click right mouse button then the context menu open. This is the code that I use for my menu:
Private Sub ShowContextMenu(ByVal mousePoint As Point)
Dim cMenu As ContextMenu = New ContextMenu
cMenu.MenuItems.Add("Delete")
cMenu.MenuItems.Add("Copy")
cMenu.MenuItems.Add("Paste")
cMenu.Show(UltraGrid1, mousePoint)
End Sub
Now I want when I click on context menu item, for example delete, to call function that gone do something, how i can do this? How I can make connection between menu items and functions?
I don't even know where to start with adding a command to a newly added item in the context menu. So much work to do and so many choices to choose from...

VS2010 Professional crashes when I select Choose Items from the toolbox context menu (right click). All has been working well since it was installed in March but just suddenly started with this behaviour. I had an issue with one of my apps which caused a total VS freeze at about the same time this issue started but the app is now working correctly.It had stopped me from using VS2010 and I reverted to vs2008 but that has developed a bug which prevents me from creating / accessing any data connections. A bit stuck now.I have removed and installed VS2010. Initial reinstall attempts failed due to unverified msi file (??). However, I have now successfully installed VS2010 back on the machine. Crash problem still remains.
