Below is the code that is adding a toolstripmenuitem at runtime. I do need to check elsewhere to see if it exists. What I have below is incorrect. How would I change the conditional check below?
ToolStripMenuItemFile.DropDownItems.Add("Save")
ToolStripMenuItemFile.DropDownItems(2).Click += New EventHandler(SaveFile_Click)
If ToolStripMenuItemFile.DropDownItems(2) IsNot Nothing Then
ToolStripMenuItemFile.DropDownItems(2).Text = rm.GetString("Save")
End If

I am having trouble figuring out a way to add click events to ToolStripMenuItems generated off data from a ListView object.In short, i have a ToolStripButton called 'View', in that i have a ToolStripMenuItem called 'Group'- What i have already accomplished is adding sub-items to the 'Group' ToolStripMenuButton. These items are based of ListViewGroups inside of my ListView.
Here is the code for what i've done so far:
Code:
Private Sub ToolStripButton3_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ToolStripButton3.MouseEnter
'LOAD GROUPS INTO MENU LIST
GroupToolStripMenuItem2.DropDownItems.Clear()
[code]....
As you can see, this will generate a ToolStripMenuItem inside the 'Group' ToolStripMenuItem for each group that is located inside my ListView- as well as add a constant ToolStripMenuItem, 'All', for viewing all groups again.What i am unsure on how to do is program in the OnClick Event for each of the generated ToolStripMenuItems?
I have in a menu a ToolStripTextBox where the user can enter a CASE NUMBER to FIND. And I have a ToolStripMenuItem below that says QUICK FIND - clicking this will find the case you put in the textbox. Tabbing out of the textbox puts you at this TOOLSTRIPMENUITEM so that ENTER on the keyboard will trigger the FIND. I want to make it so that pressing ENTER while still in the textbox will trigger that same TOOLSTRIPMENUITEM action. Do I have to trap keypresses or is there a more natural way to accomplish this?
View 6 RepliesI'm trying to do MVP where I have a view specific model that the presenter manipulates and the view binds to. There is no other connection between the presenter and view (the view fires off commands to the domain model via a gateway type pattern).
As you can guess, this makes the ability to bind to any property of any object really important.
I'm having trouble finding the correct way to bind to the Enabled property of a ToolStripMenuItem. Most controls have a .DataBindings property, but this one seems to lack it. I haven't found much info online about how to do this. Is it even possible?
I have single ContextMenuStrip attached to more controls.In use the Opening event of ContextMenuStrip to filter/disable some context entries.In this case the property ContexteMenuStrip.SourceControl is set correctly.The problem I have is on the Click event of a ToolStripMenuItem.

Dim tsmi As ToolStripMenuItem = DirectCast(DirectCast(DirectCast(sender, ToolStripMenuItem).Owner, ToolStripDropDown).OwnerItem, ToolStripMenuItem)

How do you change the color of a toolstripmenuItem when it is selected?

I can change the Background for everything else, but when I click on the toolstripmenuItem the dropdown shows up correctly but the MenuItem changes to an incorrect color.
I understand that Checked is a boolean, which is not the case of CheckState.I understand that CheckState also have a undeterminate possible value.But I don't understand why we have them both. I think that CheckState would be sufficient. What is the need for Checked ?
View 10 RepliesI have a context menu attached to a panel, that should mirror commands available in a toolbar menu.Currently in my MouseUp event, I set the enabled state of the MenuItems, and add them to the context menu:

ctxMnuLinks.Items.Add(New ToolStripSeparator)

So I have a ToolStrip menu item "New", when pressed it creates an MDI child window and adds new toolstrip menu item to the parent window and when clicked it focuses on the window I created before, so I could easly navigate if I have loads of windows. This code perfectly works in VS2008:
Private Sub NewToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NewToolStripMenuItem.Click
Dim frm As New Form()
Static ic As New Integer
ic += 1

I'm trying to add functionality to my application to let user define "custom actions" in one of the context menus.Essentially, these would be command lines that can be executed against remote machines.I've got the code to add the menu items working but I'm not sure of the best of storing the data related to the menu items. At the moment I'm using a Specialized.StringCollection in the project settings but this only allows me to store a single line (i.e. the command line).This means that the text of the menu items is whatever command line the user has defined (not ideal).What I would like is to have a "friendly" name for the menu item (e.g. Start Notepad) and have that associated to notepad.exe.What's a good way to store this data so that I best dynamically build the menu items every time?
