Somehow I'm just missing something.
I don't know how to catch when a user clicks on an item in a dropdown list
for a dropdown style button on a toolbar.
I create a new app. Form1. Add a toolbar. Add a button and make it's
style dropdown. In the code I create a contextmenu and add three items.
This is all fine. But when I click on one of the menu items I can't figure
out how to know it's been clicked and what menu item it is.
Here's the test code:
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows. Forms.Form
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeCompo nent()
'Add any initialization after the InitializeCompo nent() call
End Sub
'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
If disposing Then
If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
components.Disp ose()
End If
End If
MyBase.Dispose( disposing)
End Sub
'Required by the Windows Form Designer
Private components As System.Componen tModel.IContain er
'NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Windows Form Designer
'It can be modified using the Windows Form Designer.
'Do not modify it using the code editor.
Friend WithEvents ToolBar1 As System.Windows. Forms.ToolBar
Friend WithEvents ToolBarButton1 As System.Windows. Forms.ToolBarBu tton
<System.Diagnos tics.DebuggerSt epThrough()> Private Sub InitializeCompo nent()
Me.ToolBar1 = New System.Windows. Forms.ToolBar
Me.ToolBarButto n1 = New System.Windows. Forms.ToolBarBu tton
Me.SuspendLayou t()
'
'ToolBar1
'
Me.ToolBar1.But tons.AddRange(N ew System.Windows. Forms.ToolBarBu tton()
{Me.ToolBarButt on1})
Me.ToolBar1.Dro pDownArrows = True
Me.ToolBar1.Loc ation = New System.Drawing. Point(0, 0)
Me.ToolBar1.Nam e = "ToolBar1"
Me.ToolBar1.Sho wToolTips = True
Me.ToolBar1.Siz e = New System.Drawing. Size(456, 42)
Me.ToolBar1.Tab Index = 0
'
'ToolBarButton1
'
Me.ToolBarButto n1.Style =
System.Windows. Forms.ToolBarBu ttonStyle.DropD ownButton
Me.ToolBarButto n1.Text = "test"
'
'Form1
'
Me.AutoScaleBas eSize = New System.Drawing. Size(5, 13)
Me.ClientSize = New System.Drawing. Size(456, 334)
Me.Controls.Add (Me.ToolBar1)
Me.Name = "Form1"
Me.Text = "Form1"
Me.ResumeLayout (False)
End Sub
#End Region
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArg s)
Handles MyBase.Load
Dim cm As New ContextMenu
cm.MenuItems.Ad d("one")
cm.MenuItems.Ad d("two")
ToolBar1.Button s(0).DropDownMe nu = cm
End Sub
End Class 1 3561
Hi Curtis
What you should be handing is the MenuItem click event , you could create
a separate handler that handles the click on each of the menu items of
your context menu , your handler should be something like that
Private Sub MenuItem1_Click (ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArg s) Handles MenuItem1.Click
MessageBox.Show ("Source Control: " & CType(sender,
MenuItem).Paren t.GetContextMen u().SourceContr ol.ToString)
'If ContextMenu1.So urceControl Is Nothing Then
'MessageBox.Sho w("Yes")
'Else
' MessageBox.Show (ContextMenu1.S ourceControl.Na me)
'End If
End Sub
in this example you see you can get also the source control ( if you are
using the menu with more than one control) . you would know under with
control this item was clicked
Hope this helps

I have a datagrid that contains a dropdown list that is part of an

the problem. The problem is that the dropdown object is not instantiated
at the point at which the Edit button is clicked, or at any other
obvious step in the process. In other words, when a user clicks the Edit

Hi,
I have a datagrid with linkbuttons. I would like to catch the click event
when a link button has been clicked and use the string from the text value

Hello,
Here's the situation (I'll try to be brief as possible)
I am working on the control which is created dynamically based on XML
string. This control consists of a table with number of rows with 3 columns;
TextBox, dropdown and a button ("Delete" button) in each column. Also there's
one button at the bottom of the table that allows users to add more rows. So
more controls will be added programmatically as user adds more rows.

When I click a button I don't want the click event to fire. Is this
possible?
In fact, what I would really like is to be able to intercept the click
event, perform some action, and then prevent the click from passing through
to the button.
Any help or suggestions much appreciated.

Hello
I have frames set up in an asp.net application and need one frame to refresh
another. Seeing as events need to be registered at the time the page is sent
from the server, I was wondering if I could place a hidden button in a frame
that would have the attribute to refresh the other. I would need code to
"invoke" the onclick event (ie i need code to click the button).
is this possible?
thanks.

Hi all,
I have made a toolbar in c# using toolstrip control. I am using xml
file to generate menu at runtime and then binding it to the dropdown
button.
My problem is that when I click the dropdown button for the first time
the menu, the dropdown doesn't appear. On the second and all
subsequent clicks, the dropdown is visible and is behaving normally.
Can anyone drag me out of this problem???????

This seems like an obvious one but it has me stumped.
I have a complex form with a bunch of databound grids and textbox

When I click on a toolbar control, I can catch the ItemClick event and
do a toolbar.Focus call to switch focus to the toolbar, thereby

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
