Correct Way To Make A Standard Menu

Jan 14, 2010

I've just started out fiddling with WPF in Expression Blend and now I'm trying to design a "normal Windows GUI" interface with a menu at the very top and some other stuff which takes up the rest of the window.Which panel do I use to make the menu always stay at the very top, take up only as much height as it needs to fit the menu items and fill the entire width of the window, in such a way that I can just fill in other panels and what-not in the rest of the window?

Add Standard Button To Toolstrip / Make Toolstripbutton As Standard?

May 27, 2009

I usually use standard button and do the settings like causevalidation etc if required.

i decided to use toolstrip and inserted some buttons but end up that it doesn't do the validation for control and also doesn't call leave event of textbox control.

so my question is, anyway to use regular button functionality for toolstripbutton or there is a way to add regular button on toolstrip.

Adding Standard Menu Icons?

Jan 10, 2012

know how to insert standard items to a menu strip. And I wonder how I can get access to those standard icons like the ones that are used for New, Open and Save? I know how to place an image on an existing menu command. For instance, how can I place the generic New icon on Export or Exit (without using copy & paste)?

Add Custom Options To Standard Context Menu Or Use Standard Options In Custom Context Menu

Dec 16, 2010

I have a text box field for which I want to use a couple of custom commands accessible via a context menu. I can add my custom context menu to my text box, but then I lose the standard windows ones (i.e. Undo, copy, paste, etc).

What I really want is a context menu with both my custom options and the standard windows options. I want that to take place only within my application (i.e. not like a shell extension).

Make A Menu Item On A Menu Strip Link To Another Windows Form?

Jul 25, 2009

How do I make a menu item on a menu strip link to another windows form (like a menu item that links to an about page already created in the project). I know that every coder knows how to do this, but i've read most of the instructions in the world for Visual Basic coding, but can't find ANYTHING I know coding fairly well, so I can modify it, but I can't create it my self.

C# - Standard Windows Menu Bars In Windows Forms?

May 6, 2010

I noticed that adding a MenuStrip (from the Toolbox) to my form design doesn't yield a menu bar like many native Windows applications. Instead I get a menu bar like Visual Studio's own. None of the style settings for MenuStrip appear to mimic the much more common native menu bar.Is there a way to add a menu bar to my Windows Forms application that looks the same as the one you see in Notepad, Task Manager and others? (Preferably with the designer, but I wouldn't mind adding it programmatically either.)

Make A Standard Button Quite Small?

May 26, 2012

I want to make a standard button quite small. maybe as small as 16x16

FlatStyle.Popup
TextAlign MiddleCentre
Margin and padding are all zero

The text in the button is an upper case letter X (sanserif 8pt)But even though there's enough space the text is too low and half of it is off the bottom of the button with lots of empty space above the text.

if I make the button slightly bigger. 19x19 then all the X is visible but there's just LOTS of space above and it doesn't look good.I 'could' make my own button class but surely there's an easier way. Is there something I'm missing ? maybe some combination of margin and padding that I haven't thought of ?

I will add that if FlatStyle is Standard then it isn't as bad at 19x19 but that has thick border. I'd really like to use flatstyle popup and possibly a bit smaller than 19x19

Get The Standard BackColor Of A Standard TabPage?

Mar 11, 2009

I am trying to add a TabPage containing a UserControl to a TabControl at runtime, because the number of TabPages to add are determined at runtime.

The UserControl (objDataInfo) is just two Textboxes, two labels and two Radiobuttons, nothing too exciting...

The TextBoxes have their Anchor properties set to Left, Up, Right so they scale with the width of the usercontrol.

The TabPages are added in the constructor of the form, which takes the number of tabpages to create (n) as an argument:

vb.net
Dim cList As List(Of objDataInfo)
Public Sub New(ByVal n As Integer)

[Code]....

So... How can I get the standard BackColor of a standard TabPage?

(I tried leaving out the usercontrol all-together, but the TabPage still has a gray background...)

.net - Make A Custom ComboBox (OwnerDrawFixed) Looks 3D Like The Standard ComboBox?

May 3, 2011

I am making a custom ComboBox, inherited from Winforms' standard ComboBox. For my custom ComboBox, I set DrawMode to OwnerDrawFixed and DropDownStyle to DropDownList. Then I write my own OnDrawItem method. But I ended up like this:

How do I make my Custom ComboBox to look like the Standard one?

Update 1: ButtonRenderer After searching all around, I found the ButtonRenderer class. It provides a DrawButton static/shared method which -- as the name implies -- draws the proper 3D button. I'm experimenting with it now.

Update 2: What overwrites my control?I tried using the Graphics properties of various objects I can think of, but I always fail. Finally, I tried the Graphics of the form, and apparently something is overwriting my button.

Here's the code:

Protected Overrides Sub OnDrawItem(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs)
Dim TextToDraw As String = _DefaultText
__Brush_Window.Color = Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Window)
