Runtime Menus  By imt Rate It  | Review Runtime Menus In Visual Basic, adding menus at runtime is handled in the exact same way as adding any control at runtime. In Visual Basic, adding menus at runtime is handled in the exact same way as adding any control at runtime. First you have to create a control array at design time, then at runtime you just load the new controls into the array. In this tutorial, I will show you all the steps to handle this. I will first show you how to set up a menu control array at design time. Next I will show you how to add more menus to your array at runtime. Finally, I will show you how to handle the click events of all the menus you add at runtime. I encourage you to open up a project in Visual Basic, and follow along with me as I introduce you to this topic. Also, if my explanations just aren't making sense, please download the code from the link at the right. This should help you understand everything I am trying to say    Hits:317    Rate:  0.0(out of 5)    Vote:0   Submit Date :2006-03-27   Rate It   |  Error   |  Review

Menus  By garybeene Rate It  | Review Menus Everyone knows what a menu is, the question is how can you make them in VB? Well, it turns out to be very simple. VB has a built-in menu editor that you will use and it's pretty much a no-brainer. Menus Everyone knows what a menu is, the question is how can you make them in VB? Well, it turns out to be very simple. VB has a built-in menu editor that you will use and it's pretty much a no-brainer. The only time menus should give you any trouble is when you want to do some of the more sophisticated tasks such as adding menus on the fly or such as providing popup menus. Considering that virtually every application I've ever written makes use of menus, I was glad to see that Microsoft made it so easy to do. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Menus Are Controls! You already have been exposed to menus. The most well known example being the File/Open menus used by most Windows programs for opening a file. What you may not know is that each of the menu selections File and Open are independent controls which VB can create for you using the menu editor. We'll get to that in just a second. The concept that a menu selection is really a control is a very valuable piece of information because as you will see, the menu controls support properties and events, just like any other controls you're used to seeing. What this means is that you can use the experience you have in using controls to help understand menu operation. What menus don't support are methods. If you didn't read through my control summary spreadsheet you might not have noticed it, but controls may or may not implement all three of the categories - events, methods, and properities. There's no rule that says you have to support them all, and in some cases it's just not necessary. Menu controls are like that. You'll see that properties and events are all you need.

Drag & Drop  By garybeene Rate It  | Review Drag & Drop You see it in just about every Windows application, so how can you do it in your VB application? Fortunately VB provides built-in tools to make it easy for you. While the code you write to respond to a drag and drop operation can be fairly complex, the mechanics of a drag and drop operation are fairly simple and logical. Drag & Drop You see it in just about every Windows application, so how can you do it in your VB application? Fortunately VB provides built-in tools to make it easy for you. While the code you write to respond to a drag and drop operation can be fairly complex, the mechanics of a drag and drop operation are fairly simple and logical. VB especially handles well the graphical tasks of a drag and drop operation - creating and moving the icons displayed during a drag and drop operation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Drag and Drop Ok, a short description first. Put the mouse cursor over an object on a form, then press and hold the left mouse button. Without releasing the button, move the mouse cursor to a new location. Then release the mouse button. Was that fun? Either way, what you just did was a drag and drop operation. How your program responded to what you did was entirely up to the programmer of the application. In programs which support drag and drop operations, the cursor changes to an icon (indicating a drag operation is taking place) and when the mouse is released the icon reverts back to a normal cursor (indicating that the drop operation is now over). VB offers both an automated and a manual way to allow users to perform a drag and drop operation. In either case, just like with common dialog windows, a drap and drop operation is just a method of having a user give you instructions/data, which you must use in code before anything happens. The visible, outward sign of a drag and drop operation is the appearance and then disappearance of an icon during the operation.
