C# - Prevent A ContextMenu From Hiding Once Shown?
Mar 27, 2012
I have a ContextMenu in my form which I want to be shown all the time. But when I click one of its items or anywhere in the form it hides itself. Is there a way to prevent it from hiding?
I have a VB.NET 2010 Forms Application which includes a form with a textbox, and two buttons which I call from the main form using .ShowDialog
I've messed with something such that I can no longer prevent the dialog from closing when the user clicks the Ok button but has entered invalid information.
Here is the handler for the OK button's click event:
Private Sub cmdOK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdOK.Click If SomethingIsWrongWithWhatTheUserEntered Then
I've searched for a while and I just can't get it working I have a context menu that has some items (I know how to edit those) but I just can't get the ContextMenu to pop up when I right click my PictureBox3!
i have a datagridview. On right click it shows a contextmenu but it is always in the right upper corner. I want it so that the menu appears on the cell where user right clicks. It could be Cell 1 or two or whatever.
I have a ContextMenu attached to a tray notifyIcon and I already have it on the form in design mode. If I look at it in design mode I can see evereything that I have on the main pop-up context menu. What I am trying to do is add to one of those choices programatically. Worked fine in VB6.I am reading in a list of filenames from a directory and want to place them as menu items in the 2nd level of the context menu. Example:

I tryed button1.focus() when the right mouse button is pressed on the combo but it doesn't work (it makes the focus and then the menustrip appears), I also put a msgbox but that's not a solution.Maybe something when the form is loaded? or globally disable the right click ability....

I have a form with contextmenu where you can get the menu items on shockwave. I uses the menu items event to get the method of working when clicking them on shockwave by using right-mouse button. When I debug the project and when I clicked on testmenu item, nothing have happens.

Public Class Form1 Private Sub testmenu_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles testmenu.Click
I am in the process of converting VB6 applications to Dot Net. I am using VS2008 to do the conversion.I need to change some of the converted VB6 menus from MainMenu to ContextMenuStrip. Is there an easier way of doing this then recreating them?
I have a contextmenustrip. I want to create many groups items in that contextmenu. I mean Line which separate each groups. I can do that in Dotnetbar. but with contextmenu in win form I cant.
I've done a lot of work to customize the template for ContextMenu in my app, and it worked great as a "right-click" popup window.To my enormous surprise, when I wanted to add the same ContextMenu to a button to work as a kind of "drop-down" menu, it reverted back to the default template. It is really, really, weird, considering it's the exact same control I'm using, and when I right-click the button the template is the one I customized, but when I left-click it(and open it with ContextMenu.IsOpen = True) it uses the default template? I'm pretty baffled right now, and hope that this isn't one of the (many) quirks with WPF that will require me to write hundreds of lines of XML code to fix something that shouldn't even be an issue in the first place.
I'm trying to show a NotifyIcon in the Systray via an event:

I'm actually trying to help another member over at CG with this problem, on this thread url...And I'm clueless as to what to try anymore.The thing is, we're trying to add a Context Menu on a Menustrip. If you were to right click on any menu on the System's Start menu, you'd see, that you can right click any menu item, and do whatever with it.I have sourced some code, and eventually got a sample worked out - the problem is, it only works with top level menus, not submenus.[code]If you were to run this code, you'd see that only right clicking Testing ( the top menu ) works. Can anyone see any reason why this doesn't work with Submenu items
i have this app im developing that has a list box and a ContextMenuStrip that when you right click on the listbox it opens the menu strip at the top of the menu there is a item called USER that changes to the value of the selected item in the list box but my issue is this when the user right clicks in a blank space it opens the menu with the user text empty and this is causing me problems my question is how do i close the menu or stop it from opening if the value is null
how can i get contextmenu information from my system tray programs? i have the process handle + the notifyicon handle, but GetMenu doesn't find the contextmenu

I'm wanting to add a menu to my project that is going to be dual controllable (touch screen and physical buttons). For when it is being used with only buttons, i need a way to 'scroll' through the items in a ContextMenu. I've tried using SendKeys to send up and down keys but this did nothing and i've also tried using 'GetNextItem' but this also did nothing.
Can a contextmenu be used in a .Net 2005 console application? If so, how do I create the necessary events. I know how to create the control but not sure about the needed events. I'm thinking the only one I really need is the "Click" event.

I know it's doable, I've tried searching Google and on the forums... but I don't know how to add one to the menu items. I have it working on the menustrip, but not on the menustrip items.

I have been a programmer for 36 years (COBOL,FORTRAN, etc.) but I am new to VB.NET. I am writing a random quote generator program to teach myself VB.NET. On a context menu of a NotifyIcon I have some main menu items, one of which is "Choose random quote files". When I mouse over the main menu item the sub-menu opens. I can click on one of the filenames that has been loaded from a directory to include (or exclude) it from the population. As soon as I do, the context menu closes. I want the user to be able to click on more than one file name before the menu closes.

I want to display a ContextMenu when a user clicks a ToolStripButton. I'm using the following code to do so, and it works great, but I want to prevent re-displaying the ContextMenu when the user clicks the ToolStripButton when the ContextMenu is already visible.
