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 show a context menu on right click on a menu, but the menu disappears every time it is right clicked and I dont get the right coordinates for my menu.
Here is my code:
Code:Private Sub colMenus_MenuContextMenu(ByRef Sender As Object, ByRef e As clscolMenus.MenuContextEventArgs) Handles colMenus.MenuContextMenu Dim p As Drawing.Point Dim tm As ToolStripMenuItem

I open a context menu by right clicking it.
It stays open when the cursor leaves it.
I click a main menu item.
The drop down opens at the top left of the screen.
Not under the main menu item I clicked.
I want to search the Internet but can't guess what key words to use.
I drag menu strip on the form..Now I add two menu items...I want that when the user right click on Item1, ContextMenuStrip1 should be shown.
Sir with your code,Contextmenu is shown,when i right click on toolstip..
I have tried the foll. Code
Code: Private Sub Item1ToolStripMenuItem_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Item1ToolStripMenuItem.MouseUp ContextMenuStrip1.Show(DirectCast(sender, ToolStripMenuItem).GetCurrentParent.PointToScreen(e.Location)) End Sub
But the probs is that when i right click on Item1ToolStripMenuItem(drop down menu),context menu is shown...but drop down menu is diappeared,I dont want the drop down menu to be disappeared..
When I right click on the Forms header it was showing the default windows menu with Items (Restore, Move ,Resize , Maximize..). I need to display the Context menu which we have created instead of display Windows menu. We want to hide the windows default.

How can add item to Windows Explorer context menu ?
View 1 Replieshow to delete a item from the context menu.. i can add a item with this code:
Private Sub Button7_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button7.Click
ContextMenuStrip4.Items.Add("delete file")
End Sub
no problem there. and to delete this item, i figured since it is the 4th item in the contextmenu (and i can't type the "delete file" either w/o error) it would delete it by index, with this code:
Private Sub Button8_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button8.Click
ContextMenuStrip4.Items.Remove(3)
End Sub
the (3) is giving me a error "value of type 'interger' cannot be converted to 'system.windows.forms.toolstripmenu'".. i think that means that the context menu does not support indexing.

View 1 RepliesI want to add a context menu to a datagrid in VB2008 and I need to find out which menu item the user selected.
I don't want to use the ContextMenuStrip that's available in the toolbox since it doesn't allow for dynamic placement depending on what row is active in the grid (I haven't found a Top and Left property in the ContextMenuStrip)
Here's what I've got so far, I'm aware of the fact that the MsgBox uses a non-existing property, it is meant to show my intention.
Given the available properties in the ContextMenu object, I would think that there would be something like a SelectedItemCaption property but a search of the object tree yields no results.

grdContextMenu = New ContextMenu

how to clone the menu items and then bound it to form context menu.
I have a blank form and when the use right clicks on the form, they get a context menu with any number of names in the menu. This changes depending on the situation. I can get the context menu to add/remove the list of names but when I click on one of the choices and it goes to my routine (from addhandler) I can't find the property that tells me what they clicked on...

I have a flowlayoutpanel populated with custom thumbnail controls. I have code set to display a context menu on the thumbnail controls and the panel. Once a page is displayed, I have to right click on a control twice before the menu will be displayed. I have debugged and followed code execution all the way down the line. There seems to be no difference in code execution on the first click which does not display a context menu, and the second click which does. After a context menu is displayed, everything is normal. All thumbnails will display context menus as they should. But...not the panel....I have to do the same to the panel, then it is fine.

Visual Studio 2005. Is there a way to determine which menu item is hi-lited in a ContextMenuStrip?
For example: I associate ContextMenuStrip1 with TextBox1.ContextMenuStrip1 contains 5 items with names:
Item1ToolStripMenuItem
Item2ToolStripMenuItem
Item3ToolStripMenuItem
Item4ToolStripMenuItem
Item5ToolStripMenuItem
A sub-menu is created with Item3ToolStripMenuItem that contains 5 items with names:
Item3aToolStripMenuItem
Item3bToolStripMenuItem
Item3cToolStripMenuItem
Item3dToolStripMenuItem
Item3eToolStripMenuItem
As the menu is navigated is there a way for the program to know which of the 10 menu items is hi-lited before a click event occurs?
This is somewhat related to my other thread, but because it's a different question and the other answer has been marked I thought this should be posted in it's own thread.I have this code another poster had written for me:
Private _MenuCloseing
Private _SecondsRemaining As Long = 10
Private WithEvents _Timer As New Timers.Timer(100)

View 5 RepliesI have a ContextMenuStrip click event. I was hoping to use this whenever a user clicked onto the ContextMenuStrip or one of its subitems. I have noticed that it does not fire when the user clicks on the sub items. Is there another click event that includes both the main menu And its sub items. Note that I also have added individual events to the individual menu items and sub items to capture specific code for these items. As such, I already know that I can use these events and call my desired code snippet in each of these if I have to. However I was wondering if there was another general click event that captures all the items (main + sub).

I'm hoping someone can help me here. I've been having trouble positioning a Contextmenu when a user right clicks a specific column within a Datagridview.
The Contextmenu is just a list of names and whatever name is selected then populates the 'Right-Clicked' Cell. My problem is the Contextmenu appears in the top left of the screen. I would like it to appear where the user 'Right-Clicked'
Here's the code I am using witih Datagridview1_CellMouseClick1
[Code]...
I'm a newbie and it's taken me a while to get it to work this far. I did originally assign a Contextmenu to the Datagridview Column, and it appears very neatly where the user 'Right-Clicked'
Unfortunately doing it this way I couldn't populate the Cell. So decided to use the method that I have posted above.
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.
