in vb6 I wrote a program that had a context menu attached to the systray icon, and using an array I was able to create a group of menu items that if you clicked on one of them it became checked but unchecked the rest of the items, I can't seem to find a way of doing this in vb2008,

When adding the items the VB code is

Simply saying I've added an Notify Icon to my project and then added context menu showing up when the left mouse button is pressed. The problem is that with the context menu some blank form is showing in the taskbar. There is no such form within the project.Does anyone know why it may be happening or how to get rid of the effect? I might add that I have other context menu attached for mouse right click button and it works fine, no blank forms and such showing on the taskbar it's just the left mouse button that works that way.Here is the code that I am using to show the menu:(the visible state to false is necessary for the other menus not to pop up with the one i want... unless anyone knows better method)
Private Sub NotifyIcon_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles NotifyIcon.Click
If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then

Using VB2010. I want to create an animated icon to go in the SysTray, and I have created all the individual frames as .ico files. Now, I don't like hard coding file names in the code, so I created an ImageList with the .ico files, which I then want to walk through using a Timer. Now, apparently NotifyIcon doesn't accept ImageLists? I get errors when I try to use it. I searched the web, and saw a tip to instead pass the handle of the ImageList to NotifyIcon. So I did this in the timer:
Static Index As Integer = -1
Dim IconHandle As IntPtr
If Index = AnimationIcons.Images.Count - 1 Then

I have an app which displays its icon in SysTray but sometimes it is not being displayed for a reason I am aware of, the app is alive but its icon is not shown, the only way to force it to show is to close and re-open the app, is there an alternative way to let it show its icon in the SysTray?
View 2 RepliesTo restore an application from "minimize to system tray" mode to "Normal" mode (visible) from another application, I am using "Showwindow" method of "user32.dll". The API is working as expected i.e. displaying the application on Normal mode. Moreover, I want to remove that application's System tray icon as soon as its mode changes from "minimize to system tray" to "Normal".I had tried using "Shell_NotifyIcon" method of "shell32.dll" by passing "NIM_DELETE" & reference of "NOTIFYICONDATA" but no luck.The API method declaration is as follows: Shared Function Shell_NotifyIcon(ByVal dwMessage As UInteger, ByRef pnid As NOTIFYICONDATA) As Boolean.

View 1 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.

View 10 RepliesI have an application that is simply an icon that sits in the system tray, with a context menu that opens upon right-clicking. One of the options in the menu is a text box where the user can enter a number, and press enter to perform a specific action (which is not significant to my question). The problem with this, however, is that if the mouse moves away from the text box, the menu closes.
Is there a way to keep the menu open as long as the text box has focus no matter what?
I have an application. If I press a button, a menu show up.
How do I get a handle to that menu?
I use spy ++. It seems that the menu is not a child of the button.
I use FindWindowEx but I don't think I got the right handle.
Here is another possibly related question
