• Visual Basic 1 context menu for several controls

  I am tring to use the same context menu for several textboxes on my form.(cut, paste, undo etc) How can I tell which textbox was active when the menu was clicked Do I have to use a seperate menu for each textbox This is a bit of an old-school method, I know, and I'll probably get bagged out for it, but you could create a public Control Object and populate it with a reference to the specific text box in it's MouseDown event. Here's an example of what I mean: Public MyCont As Control Private Sub TextBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.Mou ...Show All

  Hi, does anybody know what is the minimum version of MDAC required to run .NET 2.0 applications Microsoft "recommends" MDAC 2.8 or later for server installations (from .NET framework download page).

• Visual Studio Express Editions Change Label.text from within a module?

  In an application I'm developing, I'm starting a thread from main form. That thread calls a function from within a module. In the main form, I want to update the text of a label while the function is executing. From within the function, I have a Do...Until statement.

• Visual Studio Team System Team Server - Settings - Security is disabled

  Occasionally when I bring up the Team Foundation Server Settings menu, all but the last option will be disabled, presumably implying that I'm not allowed to use those menus (but I'm an admin on everything). Closing and re-launching Visual Studio restores the menu to correct operation. Anyone else seeing this behavior I'll loop in the apt team members on this thread to confirm if this is a known issue or a new bug. Thanks for reporting this Carl. BTW, Dec CTP has been made available - you can check Jeff Beehler's blog for more on this. ...Show All
