Can I create a control that has 2 menu's characteristic:
Do not take form's focus on clicking. Automically disappear when clicking outside.
I intend to draw it manually, but I realise I can't draw outside of form's border like system menu.
I've search the net in order to create a custom control but nothing I find is worth looking at, The main thing I want to do is create a skinengin via DLL and import it in my vb 2010 then using or creating some sort of skin builder where I can create a full setting file which contains all the details of the customization regarding the Form(Look, Feel and the controls such as a menu), I have used Iriskin and multiple apps doing this for me and when a user installs my application they still recieve a message about buying the registered DLL file, I would like to create it completely from scratch.
View 2 RepliesI 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)

I have a masterpage where I have placed a menu control with names Menu1, Menu2, Menu3. All the menu items have code behind pages and I want to change the color of menus when someone clicks on it i.e. when someone clicks on Menu1 it should be selected and its color should change to yellow and others should be Blue and so on.
I have tried static selected style but its not working when the menus have code behind pages.
I have a menu control and what im looking to do is change the color of each of the menuItem but dont have a cssClass property to do so. How could I accomplish this.[code]...

View 2 RepliesI want to create an application, that has a menu. Every menu option represents an action a user can choose. For some actions the user has to input a date and a string. For others the user has to choose from a list, and then some results are presented in a datagridview depending on his selection. Some actions mean that the user has to check some check boxes. etc. So there are quite a few controls needed in this application, and they cannot all be on the screen in the same time (obviously).I don't know how to design this:
-should I make a single form with all the needed controls in it and depending on the action the user selects some become visible and some hidden?
-should I design a form for every action he chooses and the forms become visible or hidden depending on the action the user chooses?

View 13 RepliesI downloaded a nice menu control from this webpage [URL]. I added the control to my toolbox, and dragged and dropped it onto my form. The problem is I can't see any way of adding menu items. There is a property named items, but that doesn't seem to add menu items to the menu. There doesn't seem to be any other property that would add the items. Any way of adding code to add the menu items.

View 4 Repliesi have 9 different picture boxes and one context menu assigned to all the 9, this is so because the functionality of the context menu remains the same except to display which picture box was selected
View 1 Repliesi have various options in my app, some complex some not, these 2 save on application exit and reload on application start themes, and layouts. There selected via a comobox each.So onto the question, how does everyone create options menus? With out using a menustrip/toolstrip?
The method i was using , was to have a picture box show a panel when it was clicked on, the panel had all the various options etc on it. This idea worked great, but meant working in design mode was a pain because the panel and everything on it had to be moved round to see the items under it on the form.
So today i decided to see what other ways i can implement a menu, and i changed it so the picturebox/button now opens a dialog, and all the options etc are on that dialog, this works great except options such as the combobox 1 and combobox2 last used setting (text data binding) doesn't load when the application is started, they only load when you go into the options. Which defeats the point, if a users going into the options just to load the settings its useless them been saved.
The time to initialize the dialog (for it to appear and be click able) is 5 - 15 seconds, not alot i know but the 1st method of using a panel it initializes instantly, but then its never really closed just made hidden, so i uses more system resources.So how does every one else implement there options menu?
