Hi.
I have a toolstrip menu that has an toolstripmenuitem that include 2 toolstripmenuitems.
The main usage is to have the outer toolstripmenuitem checked or unchecked (if unchecked .visible false the inner 2 toolstripmenuitems)
and the 2 toolstripmenuitems checked or unchecked.
I have 2 issues.
First, I have a cursor.hand in the main toolstrip menu (mousenter = hand , , mouseleave = default). When I try to do the same in the inner menus, it will only show the default cursor. I'm guessing this has something to do with the toolstrip menu being a container and it cannot fully understand that the inner menus have their own mouseenter-leave properties?
Second. When I click on the "check for manual text" , it will let me get to the inner toolstripmenuitem , select one of the two toolstripmenuitems and the menu closes.
However if I have the outer toolstripmenuitem clicked unchecked, it will close, using the .HideDropDown() but the when I again go through the menu it will show the arrow for the new node (although I have made .visible false the next nodes) and it will close when I hover over the toolstripmenuitem. This is minor but I would like to have it no shown.
To elaborate on the second issue.
When I click "Check for use manual text" and the menu is already checked, then, I click on it and the menu hides out. Now when I click again the menu (actions) then the arrow (as you see in red) is still enabled until i place the mouse cursor in the "Check for use manual text" toolstripmenuitem . Then after half a second the arrow disappears, as it should have been in the first place, without me having to position the cursor in the toolstripmenuitem.
Is this an expected behavior? Can I do something like.doevents() in the actions menu click so the outer toolstripmenuitem "activates" and get rid of the arrow?
Thanks
No2 solved.
You need a bunch of checks and enables before the toolstrip understands what going on.
Looks silly but I haven't found another way to fix this:
From main menu click:
Code:
If UnicodeInputToolStripMenuItem.Checked = True Then
UnicodeInputToolStripMenuItem.Checked = False
AsciiTextToolStripMenuItemCheck.Visible = False
UnicodeToolStripMenuItemCheck.Visible = False
Else
UnicodeInputToolStripMenuItem.Checked = True
AsciiTextToolStripMenuItemCheck.Visible = True
UnicodeToolStripMenuItemCheck.Visible = True
AsciiTextToolStripMenuItemCheck.Enabled = True
UnicodeToolStripMenuItemCheck.Enabled = True
End If
If UnicodeInputToolStripMenuItem.Checked = True Then
RemoveCharacte*******tripMenuItem.ShowDropDown()
UnicodeInputToolStripMenuItem.ShowDropDown()
Else
RemoveCharacte*******tripMenuItem.HideDropDown()
UnicodeInputToolStripMenuItem.HideDropDown()
End If
