i have to open different forms thru menu. Whenever i am opening new from the current form should be minimized and new form should be visible and when closing the new form the old one should be viewed again. First level of menu to new form works fine but when i am using form to another form minimize works fine but i need to view in normal mode again fails to view. How can i do this?
Main.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal [Which is not working]
i am using this code to view. To minimize i have used Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized control.
This is going to be hard to explain but oh well.I have a form with a menu. When I hit option one, it opens another form (form2) inside that same form (mdiparent). When I hit X on form2, then try to open it again from the original form with a menu thru the menu, It says it cant access a disposed object. Here is the code: Form1:
We have an application that has a main form with a map on it. Right now the paradigm is to have forms that are displayed using menu items to display information to the user. Most of these forms are modal forms, but a couple are non-modal forms that interact with the map. For some of the forms, it really would make for a better user experience if we could dock them in the main form of the app and allow the user to see both the form and the map. For instance. We could have a list of map features in a docked window, and select one of the items on the list and have the map zoom to that feature. Or do the reverse: let the users select a map item and have a docked window that shows details of the feature. Sounds great, but I wonder about what sort of gotchas we may encounter. In particular, what if we have two windows docked at the same time? Could we get tangled up in our event code?
I have made an app and I want to add it to " open with menu" sub menu which appears when user make right click on any file ie I made photo viewer app and I want to add it to "open with menu" so user when make right click on any photo and go to "open with menu" sub menu will find my app name to chose it to open the photo with it
I have been a programmer for 36 years (COBOL,FORTRAN, etc.) but I am new to VB.NET. I am writing a random quote generator program to teach myself VB.NET. On a context menu of a NotifyIcon I have some main menu items, one of which is "Choose random quote files". When I mouse over the main menu item the sub-menu opens. I can click on one of the filenames that has been loaded from a directory to include (or exclude) it from the population. As soon as I do, the context menu closes. I want the user to be able to click on more than one file name before the menu closes.
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 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.
On a form I have a toostrip control with some ToolStripDropdownButtons,each has ToolstripMenuItems. I want to display menus on mouse over not after user click on a ToolStripDropdownButtons.I saw that on a application and was fine.
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.
I have no idea what I have done wrong here, so I'll just attach my project as a zip file and see if any of you are kind enough to look into it for me.I am reasonably experienced in C#.NET but having trouble using VB.NET for a school assignment.I cannot open half of my forms in designer view because "To prevent possible data loss before loading the designer, the following errors must be resolved".
i was doing a fair amount of programming many years ago, like 10 it feels like, so I'm sorely not up to date on how my newly downloaded Visual Basic Express expects me to communicate with it.I am writing a program that pulls a cell from a database after the user has gone through several forms to determine which cells they want. When I write it like that, it doesn't sound very efficient, but I've designed it this way for usability.Here's where I have a problem: Should I store the path the user takes in a string, an array, what?
Here's an example:Someone wants baseball stats and trivia. They run my program, main form pops up, they select National League button, the NL Form pops up. Now the way my program is set up right now, is there are two ListBoxes on the form, one is populated, and as the user selects a Team from ListBox1, it jumps to ListBox2. Once they've selected all the teams they want info for, they click a button Next.
What I now need the program to do is show the next form "Team: name" once for each team, and insert the name of the team on the form in the appropriate label which I'll have blank. This form will also do the Listbox thing except the first listbox will populated with Topics like HR Stats, Pitching Stats, Coach History, etc.
I am making a program that is in need of labels changing and showing depending on what the user clicks on a file Dialog.
Everything works fine except for that when I change the labels, it uses the entire file path, and I ONLY want the file name. How would I be able to get JUST the file name?
I have a refreshing process that updates a listview every ten seconds. If the context menu is open for a selected item it should return and not refresh?
How can i add a menu and make it to appear on all forms within that project? I remember that 2 years ago i was able to do this with VB6 however with VB 2010 i am unable to do this currently.
Right now i added a Menu Strip on all my forms by copy-paste however i want to find a better solution so that when i add a new menu item all the menus on all forms update.
I have a MDI child form with its own menus. (TestForm)When I call the child form (Testform.show) from the parent form menu, the MDI Child form's menus are appended to the container form..Essentially, the container form steals the menu of the child form..
I have two forms frmMain and frmNew, and one module modMain. In modMain I hold public variables which are needed for application. My question is how to open and close those two forms when needed? I ask this because if i set frmMain as startup form, then when closed, application will end, and one of those two forms will always be displayed. Also if I set frmNew as startup form, then when I close this form, application will also end. Is there a way to do this from module or something so my application won't end after closing and opening any of those two forms?
I'm writing a small software similar to the calculator in Windows, the calculator in Windows has a menu bar; in the menu bar, you can find "scientific" and "standard" mode; once you select different mode, your form will be changed, but the two forms still share the same menu bar.
I want to create the same effect of this:
1. Two forms, only one is visible at any time
2. The menu bar on the top of the two forms should be shared between these forms
I just started learning VB for 2 weeks, I'm not sure my thinking can be achieved by VB, if not
I want to use the same menu shortcut keys in a MDI child as in the parent...the problem is that the parent seems to receive the Event first and is calling his menu entry. The child (though it does have the focus) does never receive any event whatsoever...I can bypass this behaviour by adding a Textbox to the Menu, and the moment that one has the focus the menu shortcuts are working as expected (child gets it first, after that it's passed through to the parent).
