Tool Strip Menu And Check Box Sync'd Together?

Dec 16, 2009

Ok, I'm a very inexperienced programmer writing my first "non-example" program without step by step instructions provided by the learning material. That said, I am still trying to grasp all the different concepts, syntaxes, tools available, etc. So I wanted someone to take a look at my code and give me some input as to how I can make the code more efficient because I can already envision some bugs that could come up from the code I have written right now.

So I'm writing a program that will have two controls (as of now, which I might think of other controls that might become useful) that will be in a boolean state. I have a checked tool strip menu item and a check box item. I need to have the clicked event run some statements that will either set a textbox's visible property. But my question is whether I should keep the code as it is, if I should create a new module, use a sub procedure, or what is the most efficient way of dong this? Here's my code but I can already see some functionality problems if I decide more controls that accomplish the same task as having to go back and add code to the existing controls. Should I not try to keep the code in a seperate module so all I have to do is change the code getting called in that seperate module instead of actually going through the event code and changing/adding statements repetitively? Anyway:

Interface And Graphics :: Red X In Tool Strip Menu

Jan 22, 2012

I copied across all the code and got it going, but when I copied across the tool strip menu it came up with a Red X, where on the old project it was displaying fine. I removed the copied tool strip and dragged a new one onto the form, but even a brand new one with no modification comes up with a Red X. I tried a couple of the suggestions I could find on the internet, but none of them seemed to make any difference.

I tired stepping through the code (F8) but it does go anywhere near any tool strip code. I added a New Sub complete with InitializeComponents, but when it gets to initialise it goes yellow and then next step goes to End Sub. I though in previous projects it went to another class and setup the components on the form. Just got home and thought I would throw a button on the form to see if it would display that and it does.

Capture Variables In A Tool Strip Menu Item?

May 24, 2010

I'm still unclear as to how this works. The examples in the tutorial don't help very much, and, sorry, I could not make the examples in the previous thread work either and I don't understand the Lost Focus event. What I want to do is fairly simple. 1.) Enter the Test Duration as a string in the tool strip menu item text box in form1. 2.) Make the variable TestDuration equal to the string in the tool strip menu item. 3.) Print the value in a message box after button1 is pressed so I know that it's been captured. Attached is my simple code. This is probably very elementary and I'm sure I'm doing it wrong but I haven't a clue just yet.[code]...

Tool Strip Menu Item Image Opacity

Apr 20, 2012

I'm creating a Win Form app in VB Express 10, which includes an animation. While the animation is running, it would be helpful to fade (maybe 50% opacity) a tool strip menu item's image so that it would not distract from the animation. I've tried to change the item's transparency in the property drop down, with no effect. I think I would need a function to add to the animation start button to fade the tool strip menu item's image to 50%. Then if the animation stops, or the image is clicked, a function to re-establish 100% opacity.

Tool Strip Container Tools Strip Lost Focus And Double Click?

Aug 19, 2011

"Form1" has a ToolStripContainer1.TopToolStripPanel which contains a ToolStrip with buttons. The buttons work on ONE click when "Form1" is active.If I click on another window and then return to "Form1" the ToolStrip buttons take TWO clicks to activate.The first click returns focus to "Form1" and the subsequent click fires the button event.I want the buttons to work on the first click and not require two clicks.Note that ordinary buttons on "Form1" that are not part of the ToolStrip work on the first click when returning from another window/form?

Menu Strip Has Disappeared But The Menu Items Are Still Showing In Properties List?

Oct 6, 2011

I have combed these forums and the 'net and can't find an answer to my specific problem. My menu strip disappeared (after deleting a small secondary form within my project). I therefore created a new strip and while recreating the menu items realized that the original menu items are still present, showing in my properties list. I have checked my design file as well and the original menu strip is definitely gone but the original menu items are there. I don't have many items so I would have no problem just deleting the original ones but I can't see them to delete them! I have checked and they are all set to visible. I have also moved everything on my form to see if it is behind anything else.

Forms :: Adding Tool Strip Buttons Dynamically?

Apr 30, 2010

I need to be able to add buttons to a tool strip at run time. As of now I've been able to get the buttons to display with a nice little picture just how he wants and some text under it. Just can't figure out how to "enable" the click event for these buttons. Obviously I need them to do something rather than just sit there looking good and this is where I'm stuck. Right now I'd be happy for a message box to come up saying yep I'm working as I could then work with that. This is what I have for code so far... this is just to get it working I'll work on the actual code later.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim btnSomething As New ToolStripButton
btnSomething.Text = "Test 1"
