I have found if you put a text box into a menustrip item everything under that menu no longer show it's properties when clicked and double clicking on the item does not got to the code until you click outside the menustrip. This behavior is only present when the menustrip render mode is system and only when a textbox is in that menu item. Fails with visual studio 2005 and 2010. Am using visual basic. Changing render mode from system to anything else makes everything work, change it back to system and it does not work. This only happens with a textbox in the menu strip item.
I want to show a ContextMenuStrip beneath a MenuStrip item when that item is clicked. Stuff in the ContextMenuStrip changes dynamically. The ContextMenuStrip is used in a DataGridView. I don't want to duplicate the same items in the MenuStrip.
I can get the mouse coordinates OK, but I don't want that. I want to use the ContextMenuStrip show method referenced to a control. An item in the MenuStrip is not a control, but the entire MenuStrip is a control. If I can get the x-y position of the item in the MenuStrip I can show the ContextMenuStrip in the right place, and it will look just as if it was part of the MenuStrip. how to obtain the location of the MenuStrip item that's active.
I have a MenuStrip with several items in it. All I am trying to do is select(check) only one item at a time.
Example: Lets say I have a menu title Fruits, and under the menu are several fruits.
Currently, when I click on one fruit there is a check mark, good! The problem is when I click on another fruit there is also a check mark and so on. I only need the menu to check one item at a time, this will unchecked an item if I check another menu item. I tried using if statements but doesn't even come close to working. Any ideas on this?
I have code which runs in a menu item (StartToolStripMenuItem_Click).Later in the project i want to code clicking this menu item but if i just use the StartToolStripMenuItem_Click sub it wants the 'e' argument passed to it. I simply can not work out what i should be passing.....
I create a dynamic menustrip based on DB. so on the clickeditem event of menustrip I got on the index of itemclicked so when I move the mouse from the item dropped to another in the menustrip without click on it the item dropped down,that it truly but when I click on item from toolstrip it not open to me the form. So I want use another event on menustrip the mouseHover but how i can get the itemselected?.
I have a Menustrip in Visual Basic 2008. My question is how do I check only one menu item at a time? Lets assumed I have a MenuScript that is titled Fruits. When you click on Fruits, you get a drop down of four fruits. Apples, Orange, Bananas and Mango.
When I open a form the caption is added to my menustrip under open windows. This is fine. However I want to remove this from the menustrip when i close the form.
We have an application with an mdicontainer form which has a menustrip with many toolstripmenuitems. Each of these toolstripmenuitems has dropdown items. We want to be able to set the Visible properties of these dropdown items to true and false in various situations. We are able to do this e.g, mnuFileOpen.visible = True and it does make the menu item visible.
how can i disable from the panel the user control if another user control is selected from menustrip???
here is my code at the moment Private Sub LabToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LabToolStripMenuItem.Click
I have my program set up to read the contents of a Directory, and then populate a drop down menu with the names of the files in the directory. (I am using the MenuStrip). Inside my program, it is also set up to create a new file in that directory, and I wish to add this item to the dropdown menu upon creation. The list is entirely created and populated from the code, and the contents of the list depend entirely on what's in the directory.
I have tried using MenuStrip.Items.Remove(menuItem1). Now, when this command gets executed, it does remove the top level Menu, however when I go to repopulate the menu, I end up with duplicates of my files listed in the drop down. I am stuck with how to clear these out as well?
I want a menu with just two dropdown lists, the menustrip puts a strip right across the form, is there any way to change the width of the strip? Changing in properties does not work. Is there a different type of menu I can use?
Regarding my college project. i'm working on a sales system . i have a form which consist of all the following information( item code , item name , item price , quantity of item ) which is display using a data grid . data input by user using text box and all this information will be stored in a database(sales database) i'm using ms access 2007. the grand total will be displayed in a text box . and amount paid will be input in a text box too , my major problem now is how to i create a reciept that will have all this information of the purcase. i have a reciept button . what the next step ? i dont have any idea how to get the reciept done.
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.
In my application I have a listbox and SelectionMode should be MultiSimple because users need to see which items they selected. In another tab we have another listbox this one should show all the selection users had done in first tab. Private Sub
Is it possible to compare 2 dataitems and then display the result depending on the 2 values using if eval at run time?I have a ListView with databound controls. 1 is RedemptionChoice and the 2 is CashBack.When 1 reads "0" and 2 reads > 0.00 the output should read AUTO I have read many comments online and most point to create a new function within code behind but have found it impossible to implement on my own.I tried this as a test on the actual page:
Client 1[INDENT]Project 1[/INDENT][INDENT][INDENT]Project 1 Task 1[/INDENT][/INDENT][INDENT][INDENT]Project 1 Task 2[/INDENT][/INDENT][INDENT]Project 2[/INDENT][INDENT][INDENT]Project 2 Task 1[/INDENT][/INDENT][INDENT][INDENT]Project 2 Task 2[/INDENT][/INDENT]Each entry is clickable, even if it has children. In the above example, I can select the Project 2 menu item.My problem is that when I hover over Project 2, it automatically expands Project 2 Task 1 and Project 2 Task 2. When I click on Project 2 Task 1, the menu "closes up" and all entries disappear which is what I want. However, when I click Project 2, the menu does not "close up" and all of the entries are still visible.
I dont know what the go is but i have check all the properties and everything but nothing changes.I have a combo box and when i change the selected value i want the menustrip to focus on the form but instead the menustrip stays up.
I have a MenuStrip control and when I right clicked on it and selected "insert standard items", it created a few functions. There are a few options there that I would like to get working: Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, and Select All. I presume that for what I want, I'd need to make my own classes for each function. (ie: Cut class, Copy class... etc.)
I would like to be able to do something similar to the example below:
Im creating a desktop app with multiple forms. My ideal aim is to create 1 MenuStrip to use throughout the different forms (the same MenuStrip) appears on the different forms. otherwise I'll be copying the MenuStrips from 1 form to another and copying the Event code. What is the best way of doing this? I've created UserControl, put my MenuStrip on it along with me Code, then I load an instance of it whenever a new form loads. This seems to work fine until I want close the Main Form. I've tried ' Me.Hide ' but that just hides the UserControl. So the MenuStrip appears on Form A, when i click a Menu Item I want it to close Form A and open Form B.
