Hello !
I don't want all the items that a default textbox's context menu contains.
So I'm using a custom context menu :
Dim contextMenu = New ContextMenu()
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(New MenuItem("Copy", Sub(s, ea) textBox1.Copy()))
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(New MenuItem("Paste", Sub(s, ea) textBox1.Paste()))
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(New MenuItem("Undo", Sub(s, ea) textBox1.Undo()))
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(New MenuItem("Select All", Sub(s, ea) textBox1.SelectAll()))
textBox1.ContextMenu = contextMenu
But the problem is that now , all these commands are always enabled even in some cases when shouldn't be. for example even nothing is copied , the Paste command is enabled. Event the textbox is empty and nothing is selected , the Copy command is enabled.
----Is there a way to fix this behavior ?
----Or maybe is there a way to not use a custom menu . but just to hide the items that I don't want in the default context menu , using TextBox.ConTextMenu.Popup event ?
Thank you !

It is not a paste-command; it is a menu-item that executes code. If you want to enable the menu-item, you can do so, but then you'd need to keep a reference to the item.

It is not a bug; if you want the behaviour, you'll have to build it.

You need to check each time before the context menu is shown what conditions exist, and set each item to enabled or disabled as appropriate.

So , I think it's better to consider the second solution , so to leave the contextmenu as default (not using a custom menu ) but just hide some items and leave those that I want , using ContextMenu.Popup. Is that possible ?

I tried a quick Google search on modifying the standard ContextMenu-popup and it doesn't look like there's an easy solution to this.
However, I think building your own and checking the conditions for enabling/disabling the menu entries isn't as difficult as you might think. Take a look at the Clipboard[^]-class - there are easy to use methods to check if and what the clipboard contains, e.g. Clipboard.ContainsText(). Combined with the sample Richard linked for you it should be rather straight forward.

Thank you!
Using Clipboard class I have resolved the most of the problems.
The only menu items that remain is Undo.
What should I check inside the ContextMenu.Popup event , in order to determine that this command should be enable or disable ?

In both WPF[^] and Windows Forms[^], the TextBox control has a CanUndo property.

Hey,
I don't know if you mean you want a code example for disabling the buttons in your Context Menu or your code doesn't work.
If your code doesn't work as it suppose to do just try this (after you disabled for example a button in your context menu):
YourControlName.Refresh
If you mean that you don't have a code, I have a good example.
Private Sub EditPaste_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles EditPaste.Click
Dim iData As IDataObject = Clipboard.GetDataObject()
If iData.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Text) Then
TextEditorBox.SelectedText = CType(iData.GetData(DataFormats.Text), String)
End If
End Sub
Private Sub EditCut_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles EditCut.Click
If TextEditorBox.SelectedText <> "" Then
Clipboard.SetText(TextEditorBox.SelectedText)
TextEditorBox.SelectedText = ""
Else
MsgBox("Nothing selected")
End If
End Sub
Private Sub EditCopy_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles EditCopy.Click
If TextEditorBox.SelectedText <> "" Then
Clipboard.SetText(TextEditorBox.SelectedText)
Else
MsgBox("Nothing selected")
End If
End Sub
Hopefully your question is awnsered

Hello !
I have this working code on c# :
var contextMenu = new ContextMenu();
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("Copy", (s, ea) => textBox1.Copy()));
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("Paste", (s, ea) => textBox1.Paste()));
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("Undo", (s, ea) => textBox1.Undo()));
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("Select All", (s, ea) => textBox1.SelectAll()));
textBox1.ContextMenu = contextMenu;
I don't know c# , so I have used a code converter , that has produced this code :
Dim contextMenu = New ContextMenu()
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(New MenuItem("Copy", Function(s, ea) textBox1.Copy()))
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(New MenuItem("Paste", Function(s, ea) textBox1.Paste()))
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(New MenuItem("Undo", Function(s, ea) textBox1.Undo()))
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(New MenuItem("Select All", Function(s, ea) textBox1.SelectAll()))
textBox1.ContextMenu = contextMenu
But this code code is not working , and produce an error on :
textBox1.Copy()
Exression doesn't produce a value
A similar error is producet in other rows.
What can I do ?
Thank you !

Your code converter is wrong - it should be creating Sub() as these functions don't return any value.
Dim contextMenu = New ContextMenu()
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(New MenuItem("Copy", Sub(s, ea) textBox1.Copy()))
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(New MenuItem("Paste", Sub(s, ea) textBox1.Paste()))
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(New MenuItem("Undo", Sub(s, ea) textBox1.Undo()))
contextMenu.MenuItems.Add(New MenuItem("Select All", Sub(s, ea) textBox1.SelectAll()))
textBox1.ContextMenu = contextMenu

I use the following for populating a Combobox.
Dim comboSource As New Dictionary(Of String, String)()
Dim k as string
public sub load CBox()
comboSource.Add("xxx", "Ex")
comboSource.Add("yyy", "Ypsilon")
comboSource.Add("zzz", "Zet")
ComboBox2.DataSource = New BindingSource(comboSource, Nothing)
ComboBox2.DisplayMember = "Value"
ComboBox2.ValueMember = "Key"
end sub
Then from the code, when I need to get the key I use
k = DirectCast(ComboBox2.SelectedItem, KeyValuePair(Of String, String)).Key
and this works til here...
My problem is about the ComboBox2 listed values...
The first time I open the form containing the combobox I get the 3 values correctly listed in it.
But if I close this form and reopen it, the combobox list is empty and the DirectCast(ComboBox2.SelectedItem, KeyValuePair(Of String, String)).Key will not return anything...
Tried many things but can't figure out.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi
I want to upload my excel file (Sheet1) to DataGridview Control.
This excel file will come with different format(2003,2007,2010), and want to preview and if I make changes in Datagridview control, also should make changes to excel file.

Hello !
I'm using vb.net 2013 , and I have configured Shutdown mode to " When last form is closed".
On my main form , I have a menu item which have this code to close application :
Application.exit
Everything is working fine , except one case :
When I open a specific form , where a Combobox is created on runtime on specific position , and I've used Addhandler several time for several Event.
The combobox is created when pressing a button.
When I open this form and I doesn't press the button, everything is working ok.
When the combobox is created , when I close this form , and try to close the application using the menu , nothing is happened. The application is not closed and no error message is displayed.
On the form close event , I try to put a line of code :
MyCombobox.dispose()
But the situation is the same.
What can I do ?
Thank you !

As a first suggestion: Make sure you unsubscribe from all event sources (like your ComboBox but not only) before they go out of scope.
I had a very similar problem not too long ago but unfortunately I don't remember exactly what I did to fix it. I remember though that it involved eventhandlers not being unsubscribed.

but this is not done automatically when I do Combobox.dispose ?

I don't think so - I assume the references in the event sources are alive until the Combobox object gets garbage collected. (edit: If someone else comes along here, can you confirm this?)
But, while explicitly unsubscribing is good practice in general (as long as you're not using a weak event pattern), it might not be the cause for your current problem. Can you post the relevant code bits? (Include also creating/referencing code)

I have unsubscribed to all events.
It's the same situation.

Does there still exist another form that is "hidden", instead of closed?

no , all the forms are closed , and I repeat that if I open the same form , but without creating the combobox , everything works ok.
