Make Cursor Dwell "click" A Menu Item?
Apr 11, 2012
I have a submenu whose items should be selectively greyed out (Enabled=False), and I depend on the parent menu to be clicked. In VB6, from which I'm migrating, dwelling on the parent item with the cursor raised the Click() event, and the submenu items were enabled or disabled in the Click() routine.
In VS 2008 (and I assume probably in VS 2010), the submenu items are displayed as enabled and can be directly selected, bypassing the parent item, by the user even though some should be disabled. If, dispite the apparent availability of ungreyed items, the parent item is explicitly clicked, then the submenu items are correctly initialized. What change should I make to ensure Click() processing occurs before submenu display?

VB 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.

I want to make an application in vb.net which will allow user to use mouse in a different way. i.e Dwell Clicking. Suppose user moves mouse pointer at particular location and if the user doesn't move the mouse pointer from that location for 2 seconds then single click will be initiated. How should I start? All I know is I will need a form, 2 buttons i.e for selecting single click and double click, and a timer!

In our application, the customer can work with different client projects/datasets. If there are more than a few client projects to choose from, we display them in a listbox to start with, and then it is easy to preselect the last dataset that the customer was working with. However, if there are only a few client projects, we show them as options in a menu instead (think "recent documents"). When the application starts, I would like the menu to be opened automatically and the most recently used client project selected. Is there a way to open the main menu and a submenu of a form and select/focus (but not actually click) an item programmatically?
The old way that we were doing this in VB6 was to use SendKeys to send keystrokes to the form to open the menu and then arrow-down far enough to get to the most recent project, but that is kind of unclean. Particularly, if the user starts our application and then tabs away quickly to work in a different application, the keystrokes may end up being processed by that application instead.

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.

I have a program which puts an icon in the notification area and has a menu associated with it available by right clicking on the icon. I want the menu items to be selected by single left clicks but I also want the user to be able to single left click on the icon itself to do some other functionality.
Here's the problem - the single click on the menu first fires the notifyicon1_click() routine and then the menuitem1_click() routine. How do I know in the notifyicon1_click() whether it has been called from a menu click or a click on the icon itself?
the following piece of test code duplicates the problem

Imports System.Drawing

i want to put a menu item for my application to the right click menu of windows explorer.I do not want to do it programmatically but i want to do it with the .NET installer.Until now i have found that i have to insert into the registry the following keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/shell/MyApplication/command
and i have to put there a new value of
"[TARGETDIR]MyApplication.exe" "-file=%1"
The problem is that i want to be able to select multiple files and then call my application with parameter all of these files.Now when i right click with many selected files my application is run for each file sepparately.I want to run my application only once and with an input parameter of all the files that are selected.Also until now i cannot add a value to the (Default) key. It only adds a new value to the registry...Also i want to be able to do the same thing with folders...

I've got a right-click menu that comes up in a treeview - with an option to ADD to that parent node or delete a child node.
Currently I'm using the SELECTEDNODE - but what I really want to do is change the "selected node" when the right-click occurs. But I'm having a hard time seeing how to do that...
How do you use this event properly??
Private Sub CapabilitiesTreeView_MouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles CapabilitiesTreeView.MouseClick
Me.CapabilitiesTreeView.SelectedNode =

I have a context menu strip on my application but I would like to associate it when a user right clicks on a list box in my application. The context menu appears on my mouse right click event in my listbox, but it appears at the top of my application instead of where I right clicked. How do I associate the list box control with the contextmenu.
NOTE: Maybe there is another control besides a contextmenu that I want to use here.

I'm using the code from the following site to create a file manager within my app: [url]Which, I think is great. When I first started programming, I wanted to use this code, but I couldn't understand it. I love how now, I understand most of it and know how to implement it. Which, I owe much of my progress to some of you at this site Well, back to what I was saying. I want to be able to make a right click menu and have it access options like copy, paste, etc. I'm sure I can figure that out, but I can't seem to figure out how to make a right click menu.I thought I could manipulate a menustrip, but I wasn't sure how.

I have a list box on the form which functions as a copy/paste. When you copy something, it is automatically added to the list box as a "clipboard helper". Here is the problem,however: if the text is more than 1 line, the list box does not show all the text.It ends up looking messy.So getting back to my question, is it possible to make the list box item height for an item depending on the amount of lines that item contains?This is a one line sentence in the list box and should take up one line.This is a multi line sentence in the list box and should take up two lines for item height.
