ToolStrip unusable?

2005 RTM:

Have a form, quite a few control, (full form of stuff, tab pages, buttons,
labels, text-controls etc)

Selecting controls, going in and out between code/design view is a little
bit sluggy, but still doable

Add a Toolstrip, add a few buttons to that toolstrip

Now I have to wait up to a few minutes(!) just to go from selecting a
control with the mouse out of the toolstrip then selecting one of the
buttons in the toolstrip.

Updating the toolstrip or switching forth and back to code view is even
worse.

The more controls on the form, the slower it is...

Frederik,

Why do you not try the the manufactured to market version (final release), I
cannot guarantee that it is better, hower probably is it easier to find
documentation from that?

I am running the RTM version.

For some reason, when you have added a Toolstrip it needs to take a looong
pause now and then..

I'm migrating/rewriting one of my VB6 apps to VB2005. In the process, I'm trying to avoid using third party activex controls used in the VB6 project. One of the third party controls in the VB6 app was for menu/toolbars. This control had an option to render the toolbar in an Office 2003 style which is nothing more than a top to bottom gradient. When a new ToolStrip is added to a form, the default appearance of the Toolstrip is that of...

Hi all, I'm using the ToolStrip in .NET 2.0, and I can't seem to find a way to change the size of it. What I want is a toolbar the size of the IE toolbar, preferably with text below images if possible. Can anyone shed any light on how to do this? Thanks, Alex Clark

The ToolStrip on top of my form is to small. I want to increase its height. Simply setting the Height-property doesn't change the height, though. So I tried to place the ToolStrip in a ToolStripPanel, that does react to changes in its Height-property, and by setting the Dock-property of the contained ToolStrip to DockStyle.Fill, I expected the ToolStrip to fill the entire ToolStripPanel. Nope. See the code below, it is ready to run.

I have a program that is crashing on some machines (at a client of ours). I have determined that it goes down on this line of code: ToolStrip x = new ToolStrip(); I created a simple test app that only performs this one line of code. It throws an exception so I know the problem is not caused by something in my code. It seems like there is a problem with .NET. We have tried uninstalling and reinstalling .NET 2, but it doesn't help.

It's kind of hard to explain (so if you need more just ask) and any help would be greatly appreciated. I am writing a side-by-side file manager. On each side I have a DropDownButton that holds either the root name or the Favorite name for the current path. I also have a DropDownComboBox that has the current full path as well as a series of paths that lead back to the root (i.e. "C;\Program Files\Microsoft Office", "C:\Program Files", "C:...

In C# 2005 (.Net 2.0), while working with a toolstrip, if its TabStop property is set to TRUE and there are two comboboxes and a button in the toolstrip, why doesn't the button get any focus when the focus is moved from one control to another by pressing the TAB Key. This problem doesn't occur when the TabStop property of the toolstrip is FALSE. But I need the TabStop property to be TRUE. Another problem is while the TabStop property of...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: 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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
