View 2 RepliesToolstrip Menu And .break Or .breakbar Property
Oct 2, 2008My program creates and populates a toolstrip menu at runtime dynamically. I would like my program to break the menu up into a new coloumn after say 40 menu items have been added to the toolstrip so the user doesnt have to do a long continous scroll to reach the bottom (Cascade). From my research i have found out that there is a feature called '.break' or '.breakbar' that allows for this kind of facility however this feature isnt available for toolstrip dropdown menus. Does anyone know of a workaround to allow a toolstrip to have this same functionality?.[code]

Image In My Toolstrip Button Cannot Show In Runtime
Jun 2, 2009I know this may sound really stupid, however, I really do not know. Though I have been programming with VB2005 for about the last 4 years or so, I have never used toolstrip at all. Just simply never has a need to, until now. So, I tried it by simply clicking it in the toolbox, which is simple enough, and choose the toolstrip button for the toolstrip as well. I change the button image to the image I have and want, which seems to be piece of cake operation. Everything looks good in design time. However, when I ran the program, I have the toolstrip simply look blank (no show of the button or the image at all)! The button was there alright, as when I clicked it, it responded. However, it just simply not visible at all, nor the image. When I ran my mouse over it, it did change color (which I guess indicate it is there), but no image either.

View 5 RepliesToolStrip On A Databound Form - Toolstrip Buttons Don't Receive Focus In The Normal Way ?
Mar 24, 2009I really want to make use of the toolstrip and databinding but these two technologies keep conflicting with each other. I think the root cause is something to with the fact that the toolstrip buttons don't recieve focus in the normal way.
I invite you to try the following:-
1. Create a form and put some text boxes a tool strip with a save button on it.
2. Write a query or sproc to get a datatable back and bind your text boxes to the field in the datatable.
3. In the code behind your Save ToolStripButton put some code that makes an arbitrary change to a field on the dataset (it doesn't matter whther this field is bound to a text box or not). eg:-
m_DataTable.Rows(0).Item("CommissionRatePerc") = "0.0000"
4. Put a breakpoint in the save and run the form.
5. Make some changes in the text boxes. Do not leave the last text box but rather click save while a text box whose contents you have edited still has focus.
6. When your code hits the breakpoint, query the value of the data table field that is bound to the text box you were editing when you clicked save - it will still contain the unedited value. Unless you do something about it that unedited value is going to get saved back to your DB.
We did get around this problem by explicetely setting the focus to another control on the form before saving. That worked most of the time because it prompts the text box to flush it's value back to the datatable (nb EndEdit does not work, although you'd have expected it to). However, and this is the reason I suggested you add a line of code that changed a value in the underlying datatable in step 3, if you change a value in code in this way before the value from the text box get's flushed back then it doesn't seem to matter what you do, the user's current edit is simply lost. They will still show in the text box, though, leading your user to believe that the change has been committed when it hasn't. Our final solution is that we never ever change a value in the adtaset in the code behind our toolstrip buttons. That's working but it's a pretty big restriction.

Button Property To Give 3D Appearance?
Dec 25, 2010I am a beginner who used to use VB5 seven years ago, but am now trying to get up to speed using Visual Basic .NET 2010 Express in XP.
A difference I have noted is that in VB5 my buttons appeared to be three dimensional (raised) due to shading, etc. With VB2010 my buttons are plain 2D. I have not been able to find a property to give them the 3D appearance.Is this a limitation of using VB Essentials? If not, what properties give buttons the appearance of 3D?
