When i drag the menuStrip control onto my form and use SmartTag to insert standard items , i get only menu Items no Icons .. VB 2008 Express edition
View 7 RepliesI am still messing around with Cntrl/Copy and Paste from a menustrip. Paste is working fine. The copy is working to a certain extent. It will copy the complete text field from one control to another. how do I determine what is the selected text only. My code below:
Private Sub CopyToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles CopyToolStripMenuItem.Click
Dim activeChild As Form = Me.ActiveMdiChild ' Determine the active child form.
Dim activeControl As Control = activeChild.ActiveControl

I was wondering how to drag items in a form, such as a picturebox. I know how to get it to follow the mouse when you click on it but I was wondering if there is any mouse down function, so it will only drag when the button is pushed down then it will let go when the button is released.

I want to include the clipboard from the menu strip of my MDI form, ie Cntrl/C and Cntrl/V. I need a more generic clipboard facility than the examples provided. I want to be able to copy from external programs, like Word, or controls within my program to either a Textbox, RichTextBox or whatever, of which there may be several, on a child form. In VB6 this was so simple, but I'm afraid it is proving frustrating, to say the least, in Visual Studio 2008. I have succeeded in getting data onto the clipboard from an external program, but my problem comes when trying to determine the active control on the child form to where I want to paste the data, so I know how to handle it.

I have my program set up to read the contents of a Directory, and then populate a drop down menu with the names of the files in the directory. (I am using the MenuStrip). Inside my program, it is also set up to create a new file in that directory, and I wish to add this item to the dropdown menu upon creation. The list is entirely created and populated from the code, and the contents of the list depend entirely on what's in the directory.
I have tried using MenuStrip.Items.Remove(menuItem1). Now, when this command gets executed, it does remove the top level Menu, however when I go to repopulate the menu, I end up with duplicates of my files listed in the drop down. I am stuck with how to clear these out as well?
I have 10 textboxes on a windows form. Each textbox has the same contextmenu. Say they are named textbox1 - textbox10.

So if I am over textbox2 and right click for contextmenu then select menu item #2 in the click event I need to capturethe textbox control I called the contextmenu from (textbox2) so I can send that name to a function to process my other code.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to use a menustrip to control the 'bookmarks' function of my webbrowser.
The idea being, when the user opens form2 to add a new bookmark, he enters the url and name they want associated with the bookmark and then when they click the "save" button, it will add a new toolmenustripitem to the menustrip in form1, that, when clicked, will take the webbrowser in the currently selected tab to the url they specified in form2 the adding of the toolstripmenuitem was simple under the save_click event:
Code:
Dim bookmrk As New ToolStripMenuItem
bookmrk.Text = TextBox1.Text
bookmrk.Name = "bkmrk"

I want to insert a Windows Media Player object in my Form, but I have not the control on my Toolbox.
I have done the steps:
Right-click
the Toolbox -> Choose item -> COM Components -> add Windows Media Player component
(which references to C:WindowsSystem32wmp.dll)
But there is not the control on my Toolbox.
In my project references I see "MediaPlayer" into "Imported namespaces" and it is checked. In the references window it is also present "Windows Media Player". Where is the error?
I want to know how can i drag files in controls:

I am trying to autoselect pre-programmed items in a listbox when a form opens with the control on it.but i cannot find a proper method to select all the items in the listbox and hold the resulting text as a string that will later be saved to a text file. i do not need help with saving the text to file but rather selecting the items in the listbox.so, after alot of trial and error and no luck I think I am supposed to use
ListBox.ObjectCollection
propriety. but i have no clue whats so ever in how to manage to select all the items in the listbox when this form opens...if this does not make sence then I will rephraze it.
I have an MDI application that uses the menustrip control. When the MDI Child window is maximized, there is no way to restore its size. There's a restore on the MDI parent but that restores the entire application. However, when I use the Main menu, there are two sets of Maximize/Minimize controls, one for the MDI parent and one for the MDI Child. The Mainmenu control adds a band that is used to display the Maximize/Minimize controls but the band the menustrip creates is not used to do the same.

I'm having trouble with my panels. I taught myself VB (and the other languages I know) so I don't know all the terminology, so bear with me. But I'm making an application, and in this application I have a set of radio buttons, and because I only wanted one to be checked at a time, I put them in a panel. The problem is, I want to add more stuff to the application (form?) and anytime I add something that is in the area of a Panel, it becomes part of that Panel.
This is all fine and good when you are trying to drag and drop something right into the panel, it makes it really easy. But when I'm trying to drag and drop something else in that area where the panel just happens to be, I don't want it to be in that panel. So how can I make it so the panel stops parenting my other items on the page? I hope that makes since.
I was just wondering, if I have a list view control, with 2 columns, and insert items to those columns, ex:

That is my question I hope you can give me an answer if this can be achieved trough the listview control from vb.net or other control that you know of. If you post an example in C#, maybe I can create al DLL and put it as a control in my vb.net tools, but I just want to know if this can be done.

View 1 RepliesTo simplify things, I have a new VB .NET 2008 Windows Form Application with absolutely no code yet. The only control I have on the form is a stock standard imagelist common control. Using the inbuilt editor for adding images, i've added one single 16x16 jpg image (just to simplify things). If I build and run the application at this point I get the following error.An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Index was outside the bounds of the array. I don't expect to see any images at this point when I 'Run' the application. I just need to work out why I'm getting the error. Later on I'll be referencing the imagelist in another control.
