If my form does not have focus and I click on a menu item (think File, Edit, View) the sub-menu does not appear. All it does it return focus to the form. I have to first click to give the form focus and then click on the menu. Most other programs do not behave this way. Is there anything that can be done to change it.

View 2 RepliesI have a datagridview that I have put a ContextMenuStrip1 on. I would like it to remove a row in the datagridview when the row is right clicked on and they click on "delete row". I have the delete working and the menu is showing up but this isn't firing when you right click on the datagridview.

Private Sub ModifyRowToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ModifyRowToolStripMenuItem.Click

If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right AndAlso e.RowIndex >= 0 Then
datagridview_TagAssignment.Rows(e.RowIndex).Selected = True
End If
End Sub

View 7 RepliesI have 10 textboxes on a windows form. Each textbox has the same contextmenu. Say they are named textbox1 - textbox10.

So if I am over textbox2 and right click for contextmenu then select menu item #2 in the click event I need to capturethe textbox control I called the contextmenu from (textbox2) so I can send that name to a function to process my other code.

I can do the context menu. When I'm NOT using a context menu, I can detect a right-click using the mouse click event.BUT how do I detect which cell that's beiing right-clicked on in a datagrid WHEN a context menu is being used (as the mouse-click doesn't seem to fire when a context menu is used - so I assume that the menu mechanism consumes the right-click message and doesn't pass it on so to speak).I have tried to manually call the context menu on a right-click, but then the context menu comes up at the wrong location.Rather than send a long listing of my multinedia program so far - here's something I tried as a separate proglet. I can send the long multimedia project listing if you like (so you can see why this it is important to resolve this little issue).

I wanted to know how I could make a button and textbox appear when a different button is clicked. For example, when I click "Button1," which is already there, then "Button2" and "Textbox2" (I already have a "Textbox1") would show. I also already have an "openFileDialog" on "Button1."
At first I thought I should use
If Button1_Click Then
but I didn't know what to put after that. Is there any way I could use "If... ...Then..."? I find those easy to understand.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;

So what I am trying to do is to get textBox1 to show which button i have clicked. Because I have Form_Activated I only see changes when i reactivate the Form. So I would like to have Event that is Active all the time and listens to everything that happens in Application and NOT only when something is clicked or some text have changed.
I made a form with only 1 Button. I want that when i click that button, 2 more buttons should be appeared. Example: Button1 is clicked. Button2 and Button3 are displayed. I have named Button1 as Scan. When i click on Scan, the Button2(Pause) and Button3(Stop) should be displayed. When it is scanning, i have placed the progress bar with the timer. When the progress bar finishes loading, Button2(Pause) and Button3(Stop) should be hidden again.

to be so simple turns out to have me scratching my head.I have a program that monitors input inside of Quickbooks. When a customer is entered into a sales order my program checks my database for any special information and if it exists, opens a TopMost window to the lower third of the screen with the information showing that is special to that customer. The problem I have is that when the customer is found and the window opens, focus is taken away from Quickbooks and given to my newly opened form. Is there a way to prevent this so that the users input isn't interrupted?
With frmMessage
.Width = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width
.TopMost = True

I've created a small form that acts like the office notifications (fades inout above the notification icon tray)I'm having problems showing this form, I want to display it without the focus being taken from my main application (or any other form), I've managed to get the attached code doing roughly this, (using Me.Activate to take back focus) But this isn't great - focus switches for an instant plus I want to show the form from various areas in my application...
Dim frm2 As New frmNotification()
frm2.TopMost = True
frm2.Show()
Me.Activate()
I would like to show a Form without focus - PLUS - I would like to have 'Enable Application Framework' enabled on the My Project > Application form. Having 'Enable Application Framework' enabled allows trapping of unhandled exceptions project-wide.

View 2 RepliesI have a simple login field, which works fine with the exception of one quirk. The form is set up with the tab order to go to the UserID first and the Password text box second. This works fine when the form is used the first time, but when the form is used the second time the focus in placed in the Password field. If the form is used a third time, focus is moved the OK button, that is each time moves to the next tab order. I even tried to set the focus in the Load event as in Me.txtUserID.Focus(), but this doesn't change the behavior. Again, I should note that I close the form and not hide the form.
