I want to have a NotifyIcon in the system tray that when clicked, opens a context menu on the NotifyIcon with several options that open different forms.
I have read I need to use a ContextMenu and after Google'ing and trying out various code I can't seem to get it working
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

I have a Vb.Net MDI which has it's Menu's on it. I have Child Window and it has it's own menu. I opens the child window inside the MDI using setparent API function. When I click on Child window's menu to open the sub menu items, it does
not open on mouse click . It works if I use Alt+Hot Key. But I want to open the Child window menus on Mouse click like it opens the MDI menus.
I am using a toolstripDropdownbutton on the toolstrip to populate the
menuItems.The toolstrip is on the customtaskpane of the window.
Problem comes when the focus is on the customtaskpane, user opens a dropdown menu and without selecting any menu from the dropdown click on the other part of the window. The dropdown remains open and even the user switch to other window it remains open and does not hide. It only hide when user click on the dropdownbutton itself.
Note : I had set AutoClose property to Flase

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 have a double click event for a notify icon that will bring up my main form. The double click event isnt firing. Even if I put a breakpoint in the code it never gets executed. Here is what I have so far:
Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
Me.Visible = False
[code]....
Private Sub NotifyIcon1_MouseDoubleClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles NotifyIcon1.MouseDoubleClick
Me.Visible = True

The excessive stuff is my way of trying eveything I can think of to get the form to show.
the menu in the button is opened with click in the small down arrow, but NOT if click in the button image.

I have a list box with multi-select enabled, I wanted to add a right click menu to it so I added a ContextMenuStrip and linked it to the list box. Issue is I can't figure out how to determine what item in the list was the one right clicked on to bring up the menu. It won't necessarily be one that's highlighted. Using VB 2010 Express
View 3 Replieshow do i popup a menu when the user right click on the notifyicon on systemtray?
View 2 RepliesThe user right clicks on my picturebox object. Good.When that happens, some code of mine executes and will generate a list of options.Then a menu appears where the mouse right-clicked, made up of these options.When the user clicks on one of these options, the menu is deleted and some code is run given the option index as parameter.How can I tell when the user right clicks? I can see an event handler for "click", but that includes left clicks.How do I create one of these menus? I mean, go ahead and right click something. That's the kind of menu I'm looking for.
