Sep 19, 2011Trying to remove shortcuts from a contextmenu at runtime. The shortcuts are added at runtime btw.

This works fine, but now I'm trying to remove them when the contextmenu closes. I've tried several events (popupclose, disposed) , but nothing seems to work. Perhaps someone know how it actually works. The code I use to remove a shortcut is simply:

Move Down Desktop Icons At App Startup?
Oct 15, 2009I am currently developing some application that's useful for me. And now I have one doubt about something..

View 6 RepliesWinforms Menu Item Shortcuts Overriding Default Shortcuts?
Aug 19, 2010In a VB.NET Winforms application, I have a form that contains both a datagridview and a textbox. I have some menu item entries that have shortcuts of Ctrl + X, Ctrl + C, and Ctrl + V that operate on the datagridview. However, these override the default cut, copy, and paste shortcuts for the textbox. How can I make the menu shortcuts only apply when the datagridview has focus?

View 4 RepliesRemove An "orphan" Dll From File System > Application Folder?
May 4, 2011In a solution with multiple projects, one project that compiles to a .exe and a .dll has hitherto been successfully included in the Application Folder list and worked fine. After a recent revision to that project I deleted the .exe reference in the Application Folder list to remove both files prior to using Add > File to relist the new versions, but somehow although the .exe has gone the .dll remains in the listing and I now can't get rid of it - the right-click Delete function is disabled, and I can't see another way to remove this orphan file reference. Also if I now Add > File and point to the new .exe to bring it into the File System Application Folder list, after a couple of seconds the whole VS environment closes without an error message and I have to open VS again to restart.
Does anyone know how to unscramble this - presumably by editing something to remove the orphan .dll from the list? I use VS-2010 but this solution was imported and updated from VS-2005 some months ago, and since then has been fine.
Form Application That Launches A Bunch Of Shortcuts?
Jan 18, 2011I've written a very simple form application that launches a bunch of shortcuts. There's one particular one I want to launch, but it's got a lot of switches with special characters. I can't figure out how to make the switches/arguments into a string so that VB2010 will pass it to the executible cleanly.. Here's what I did, I'm sure it's laughable, but I guess everyone starts somewhere:
Private Sub Button11_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button11.Click
Dim MyString As String = ","/CitrixShortcut: (1) /QLaunch "CHCFarm:Citrix Console""
Process.Start("C:Program FilesCitrixICA Clientpnagent.exe",MyString)
End Sub

View 1 RepliesCreating Shortcut To Startup Folder?
Mar 8, 2009How would I create a shortcut of my exe file when its run, I can work out the directories and stuff but how would I actually create the program that it starts when windows boots?
I have done quite a few google searches and have found nothing to interesting or useful but I did find out that there is two main ways of doing this registry or startup folder and im more pulled into the startup folder because I dont think that I yet know enough about controlling the registry to be confident of using code like that, so I fall to my other alternative using the startup folder to trigger my program, I read somewhere that this doessn not work for vista but im not sure of that. What I would like to as is how you actually create a shortcut as I cant really understand VB6 Code very well its all I could find.
