Prevent ToolButtons moving across ToolStrips

Hi

I am developing a windows app. in VB using VS2005.
I have multiple toolstrips (and toolstrip containers) where I want users to
move buttons around (using {Alt} + drag) inside the toolstrips, and to move
toolstrips across containers.

However I want to prevent users dragging toolbuttons to different
toolstrips. I thought MergeAction of MatchOnly would achieve this, but
apparantly not. Does anyone know how I can stop this action?

Much appreciated, and thanks
Justin

Hi I'm trying to prevent users from moving between different records in forms in Access 2000. I've turned off the record selectors and disabled the mouse wheel. I've now found that you can reach other records by tabbing through all the controls on the forms.

I want to have toolbars that behave similar to those in Microsoft Word. I am using toolstrips and toolstripcontainers. How do I get them to allow the user to pull the toolstrip off the window edge and become a free floating window? Do I need to do this myself and, if so, what event should trigger this?

Hi, In my form I have two ToolStripPanels (TSP), one docked on the left, the other docked on the right. Each of those TSP contains a ToolSrip control. I would like to allow the ToolStrips to move on their respective TSP they belong to, but prevent dragndrop of ToolStrips from one TSP to the other. How can I do that?

I have a few ToolStripContains and ToolStrips in my app and only want certain ToolStrips to be able to be dropped on certain ToolStripContainers. Is there anyway to do this? I tried the DragEnter event of the ToolStripContainer but it didn't help. Thanks, Joe

This is probably trivial, but I'm unable to find the answer. In vb.net 2005, if I'm merging 2 toolstrips together using ToolStripManager.Merge, how do I control the order of the merged buttons? I've got a main toolstrip with 6 items. When I merge it with a second toolstrip, I want the second toolstrip inserted between items 3 and 4 of the main toolstrip. Thanks.

Hey, I'm working on a winform app in VS 2005. I'm wondering if someone knows some best practices on how to organize the toolstrips. I have a menuToolStrip and some other toolstrips. As in many apps, the functionality of the toolstrip en the menubar overlap. (e.g. cut & copy etc) The commands I'm using for my application are more complex off course than just a copy and a paste.

I am using CFormView and CWinFormsControl in C++ to show a C# control. The control includes a toolstrip container and various toolstrips. If all the toolstrips are hidden (visible = false) on any of the container's panels, a mouse click will cause a stack overflow. The problem is in the PreTranslateMessage() function of CFormView. It calls _AfxNextControl. When that function tries to get the parent of the hidden toolstrip, it gets null...

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
