contextmenu and contextmenustri p

Darin

I understand microsoft's change from contextmenu to contextmenustri p -
the strip looks "prettier".

But, since the contextmenu isn't available in the designer, it suer woul
dhave been nice when updating a project from VS2003 to VS2005 that it
asked if you wanted to change all of the menus.

I now have hundreds (if not thousands) of menus that need to be changed
from contextmenu to contextmenustri p. Is there an option/program
somewhere that will change these, or do i have to do all of my menus in
my programs manually?

Hello Darin,
When MS favors a newer control like the datagrid control that is now
favored by the datagridview control it means only that it is standard placed
in the Toolbox
even with the newest version of VS Teamsystem 2008 the one that is released
only a few days ago i am still able to add the datagrid to my toolbox and
surprise surpsise i also see there a control named contextmenu . so it sure
is there although it is not "standard" annymore in the toolbox

Click with the right mousebutton on the toolbox and choose add item , as
thsi si the first time you are probably going to do this you have to be a
bit patient as this might take a while now ,,,,,,,,, Now in the list that is
generated select the required controls and ready you are
regards

ContextMenuStrip/MenuStrip question

by: active | last post by:

For the last 3 or 4 days I've been, on an off, searching the Internet and theVS2005 Doc for an example of how to add a contextmenustrip to a menustrip. I can move all the items from a contentmenustrip to a menustrip, but what I need to do is have the items in both places. I did see where it was said that a contexmenu can be used in multiple places. But I wonder if that means that multiple controls can reference the same contextmenustrip....

Getting rid of the ContextMenu

by: Dom | last post by:

I'm using a DataGridView, and the right mouse button has a special functionality. Unfortunately, the Context Menu always pops up. I noticed that the ContextMenuStrip of the EditingControl is always set to null, so I decided to do the following: 1. I included a ContextMenuStrip Control that has no items. 2. I capture the "EditingControlShowing" event. 3. In this event, I set the ContextMenuStrip to my "null" control.

Problems Converting a ContextMenu to a ContextMenuStrip

by: eBob.com | last post by:

I've been working on an app which has an array of RichTextBoxes. And I have a context menu for the RTBs. The context menu has two levels; the first level has two items, "Load Sample Text File" and "Insert Row >"; the "Insert Row >" item on the first level invokes, if that's the right word, a second level which has two items, "Above" and "Below". This all worked when it was a ContextMenu. But I am trying to change it to use the new menu...

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
