ToolStripItems show Active highlighting when you mouse over them, even if the form they are in is not in focus. They do not, however, show their tooltips, unless the form is focused. I have seen the ToolStrip 'click-though' hack. Anyone know how to make a ToolStripButton show its tooltip when its parent form is not in focus? Thank...
ToolStrip with MenuStrip or RibbonBar? ...
I'm using a series of ToolStrips in an Excel 2007 Actions Pane. I'm programatically adding buttons to each ToolStrip and then adding each ToolStrip to the actions pane. So far so good; my ToolStrips appear, with their associated ToolStripButtons. The problem comes with displaying the entire contents of the ToolStrip. I have ToolStrip....
I have an MDI application that allows me to open different types of child windows. I can open multiple (but different) instances of the same type of child window. (Example: I can open 3 instances of child window type A and 2 instances of child window type B. All 5 windows are distinct entities and do not share data until unless the us...
I'm using .net 2.0 with Visual Studio 2005 and I am trying to add two different toolstrips to the top of the form such that they show up side-by-side. I want it to be like Word 2003, where you can add multiple toolstrips to the same row and have them show up in line with each other, rather than dedicating a row to each toolstrip. So I ...
I have a .NET 2.0 WinForms application with a ToolStrip on my main form. Sometimes, the ToolStrip icons don't resppond to the first mouse click, so I have to click the icon twice. It's just a standard ToolStrip with several icons and tooltip texts, I don't do anything special. Is this common? ...
Hello! I have a context menu with a few items. One of the items has a submenu (or whatever it's called) with a few items (depends on what files it finds). What I want to do is when I left click one of the sub-items I want one thing to happen, and when I right click I want another thing to happen. My problem is that when I use the file...
I'm doing the GUI for a paint-like program, where the user will be able to select a drawing tool from a ToolStrip. Some of these tools have variations, and I'd like the user to be able to select one via a popup menu. Anyone familiar with the Photoshop toolbar interface will know what I'm after: the user can either click the button and s...
I have a Windows Forms ToolStripPanel that I dynamically add new ToolStrips to it. Each ToolStrip has ToolStripItems that I dynamically add to it (mostly ToolStripButtons). I would like to have all the ToolStrips fit on one row as long as you can see all the ToolStripItems in each ToolStrip. If adding a new ToolStripItem to a ToolStrip...
I have a control which hosts a NumericUpDown in a ToolStripControlHost and exposes the NumericUpDown's properties. Functionally, that's fine, but when it's placed on a ToolStrip it doesn't fit visually with the other ToolStripItems. I'd like to use the ToolStrip's existing ToolStripRenderer to draw the control in a manner similar to th...
I'm building a UI for a program, and I can't figure out why my progress bar won't become visible after the convert button is clicked. private void convertButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { toolStripProgressBar.Visible = true; ... toolStripProgressBar.Visible = false; } I ran into a similar problem with tkinter in...
Im currently adding toolstrips from my seperate modules like: this.toolStripContainer.TopToolStripPanel.Controls.Add(module.Instance.Toolbar) Buy they are then in the order that the modules are loaded which isnt very good. Is there any way to re-order them? Or should i be looking at adding some sort of index to my modules and laoding...
I am trying to get a ToolStripPanel to have the same drawing style as the embedded ToolStrips, so that it looks like one continuous bar. I have the ToolStrips using the ToolStripProfessionalRenderer so that they are styled the same as the Windows Task Bar. I have gotten close by creating a new Renderer derived from ToolStripProfessiona...
I never quite understood what this property was designed for. I can see that it visibly changes the design of the toolstrip and I find that setting it to System on Windows XP makes it fit much better with the WinForms style. Is there some deeper meaning here? Does the way in which the control is rendered change at all and which mode wou...
Hello, I'll share my cue with everyone! My Form Base Class is frmExportBase.cs, so any Windows Form that I will create or use have to inherit from it, so this will be fine : namespace SResocentroAnalytics.Forms { public partial class frmExportCobranzaDiaria : frmExportBase { public frmExportCobranzaDiaria() { ...
Hi, I have a piece of software that has worked fine on many machines, althoughon one machine there is a problem that appears to occur occasionaly, the MenuStrip and the ToolStrip both appear as a blank white background with a red cross over it, as a custom control would if you created a null object. This doesn't happen whilst I am debug...
Does anyone know how I can move the 'Split' portion of a ToolStripSplitButton to the bottom of the button instead of the side? ...
Simple problem (I think): I want to be able to invoke a click method on a predefined object, specifically, the bindingNavigatorDeleteItem button on the standard c# BindingNavigator. I need to intercept the delete so that I can verify that the record is allowed to be deleted. If it is, I want to invoke the aforementioned click event which...
I'm trying to figure out the ToolStripSplitButton. The purpose is to display a usercontrol gauge when a ToolStripSplitButton is pressed. However, no matter what settings I try, there is a grey line visible below the button. The ToolStrip itself is set to RenderMode.System, is not docked, and the ToolStripSplitButton is the only compone...
I tend to use a StatusStrip at the bottom of most of my applications for simple status updates and occasionally a progress bar. However, it appears ToolStripStatusLabels do not inherit from control, so they have no .Invoke, or .InvokeRequired. So how would I thread-safe make a call to change it's text property? Coded answers for poste...
