Want To Integrate A ContextMenu Into Already System Context Menu
Mar 2, 2012
i want to be able to open IE/FireFox/Google and the like, and when i right click in a text box on a webpage i can click my email so that it places the email address straight into the box instead of typing it in. in other words i want to integrate a ContextMenu into the already system context menu. I think i am shooting above my belt but just need a start as to where to start. Ie: Service, Background Worker, Windows Form?

How do you add an item to the system context menu? I would like to let my users be able to right click anywhere and launch this program. I cannot seem to find it documented anywhere either.

I have written a VB.Net Windows Application using VS2003.Net under the 1.1.4322 framework. This application loads a lot of data on startup (about 4MB, taking about 30 seconds) and that data needs to be readily available to the user, so I wrote it to sit in the system tray, using the NotifyIcon and ContextMenu objects.Everything is working fine, even the menu (I have simple options like 'Update' to update the datasets, 'Show' to show the form, 'Hide' to hide the form, and 'Close' to actually close the application).However, when the user attempts to do a Windows 'Log Off', 'Restart', or 'Shutdown', the system refuses.After shutting down every application on the users' computers EXCEPT for my application, the system still refuses to perform the LogOff, Restart, or Shutdown event.In fact, the application I wrote does not even perform it's 'Dispose' method.[code]Therefore, I am convinced that it is my application interrupting the system's process somehow.I have written other Windows Applications WITHOUT the context menu / notify icon objects (apps that don't sit in the system tray) and this problem does not occur.I have also written other applications that DO sit in the system tray, and the same problem occurrs.To summarize this problem: I believe there is something wrong with the way my application is responding to the System events 'Log Off', 'Shutdown', and 'Restart'.This is occurring on Windows XP SP2 computers (has not been tested elsewhere).Could someone explain to me why this happens?? Is there some workaround or some known bug in .Net that causes System Tray applications to interact differently with Windows system events than expected??

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.

Simply saying I've added an Notify Icon to my project and then added context menu showing up when the left mouse button is pressed. The problem is that with the context menu some blank form is showing in the taskbar. There is no such form within the project.Does anyone know why it may be happening or how to get rid of the effect? I might add that I have other context menu attached for mouse right click button and it works fine, no blank forms and such showing on the taskbar it's just the left mouse button that works that way.Here is the code that I am using to show the menu:(the visible state to false is necessary for the other menus not to pop up with the one i want... unless anyone knows better method)
Private Sub NotifyIcon_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles NotifyIcon.Click
If e.Button = MouseButtons.Right Then

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 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 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.

how to create the contextmenu near the system tray icon that i've created? the current contextmenu will always "run" to certain position. How to do that? especially the second parameter of the following:
Me.contextMenu1 = New System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu
Me.menuItem1 = New System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem
Me.menuItem2 = New System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem
Initialize contextMenu1
[Code]...
Me.contextMenu1.Show(Button1, New Point(0, 0)) .NET not allow the control to be the notifyicon, so i added a button.hOW to make sure that the contextmenu always firm on one position , ie, at the system tray icon that i've created. Once i click on the icon, it will show this contextmenu.

I have an application that is simply an icon that sits in the system tray, with a context menu that opens upon right-clicking. One of the options in the menu is a text box where the user can enter a number, and press enter to perform a specific action (which is not significant to my question). The problem with this, however, is that if the mouse moves away from the text box, the menu closes.
Is there a way to keep the menu open as long as the text box has focus no matter what?

I have an application. If I press a button, a menu show up.
How do I get a handle to that menu?
I use spy ++. It seems that the menu is not a child of the button.
I use FindWindowEx but I don't think I got the right handle.
Here is another possibly related question
Why the handle of a menu is of type HMENU rather than HWND?
In VB.net they're both integer right?

I've attached a context menu to a richtextbox. This textbox contains lines of data, and I want to find the text of the line which the user has pressed.I found how to do it after the user has chosen one of the context menu items. But I can't figure out how to do it before or when the context menu is opened. The reason for that is that I'd like to disable one of the context menu items if the line of text is missing some text. I tried the following but it's not working:
Private Sub ContextMenuStrip1_Opening(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs)
RichTextBox1.GetLineFromCharIndex(RichTextBox1.SelectionStart)
Dim line As Integer = RichTextBox1.GetLineFromCharIndex(RichTextBox1.SelectionStart)

I have an INI file that contains several of these following entries.The Section names are all labled ASSET_CONTROLS_#.[code]The "Name" field should be added to the ContextMenuStrip control as a ToolStripMenuItem.If there is a value in "SubMenuNames" in the INI file, the ToolStripMenuItem created from the "Name" field, should have a DropDownItem created under it. I have separated multiple SubMenuNames with a SemiColon, so a loop would be used to create the separate menu items.Command and Parameters are to be used with the Process.Start function when the Menu Item is clicked. What is the best way to code this? I have been trying to do the event handling for the menu items for hours now and can't get it right. I basically want to call a procedure and pass the "Command & Parameter" values to it to use the Process.Start function.[code]
