I have this toolstrip on my windows form. When double clicking on ToolStrip button it gives me
my designer view:
my code view:
I'm wanting to have a button click event on every button and have a click event like on the image below.
their designer view:
their code view:
it seems like I can't click on the button directly, rather it selected the whole toolstrip instead.
Judging by the icon in the top left, this is netcore, or net5. Some things in winforms designer on these platforms are still very wonky and toolstrip related things seem to be one of them..
Change to winforms on .net framework if you can, or add your click event handlers in code if you can't:
write the name of your button in code, followed by .Click +=
Accept the suggestion to insert a method for you by pressing tab
It's because you doubled click the whole ToolStrip not the buttons on the ToolStrip

I'm new to Visual Studio and am converting a C# console app to VS so that I can give it a GUI. The GUI piece is definitely a learning curve.
I have a main Form1 with Tab1 and Tab2. I can call this.AcceptButton, but it only appears to be at the form level. Is there a way for each tab to have an AcceptButton? I can't call this.Tab1.AcceptButton, however when I am in Tab2, the function of AcceptButton doesn't seem to trigger. Is it because the button doesn't exist on the tab that is in focus?
I could certainly forgo using AcceptButton if there's not a clean way to do this, but it would increase the usability of the application.
Thanks in advance!
You can listen to SelectedIndexChanged event on your TabControl. So whenever tab is change this event will fire and you can use assign another button to AcceptButton.
Have a look at this: Change accept button with tabs
I made a customized control that is a picturebox and a button. When the user clicks on the button, i want to show a form that will capture the webcam image and put on the picturebox of the customized control. But i can access outside the control, the button click. I can access the control click but not only the button click...anyone can help me?
thanks!

In your control's constructor after the InitializeComponent() (if you have it), write
this.myButtonName.Click += (press Tab twice)
and the handler will automatically be created for you.
which event to use to get the menu strip item clicked?
I've tried the menuStrip_ItemClicked event of the menuStrip; but it fires only on the top menus only ( like "File", "Edit", "Windows").
I want to catch the sub menu items clicked event.
Thanks.
If you are talking about WindowsForms and use VisualStudio:
Go to design of your menu, rigth click on menu item you want, select properties, in property grid select events tab, select Click or MenuClick (don't remember precisely) event and double click on it.
Done
I think you should hook to click event of each ToolStripMenuItem. It can be the done with the same event handler if you prefer to have logic for it in one function.
Every subitem has its own event for clicking. In the winforms designer, you can just double click on the correct item you want to let happen. It will create a saveButton_clicked event or whatever event you would like and you can specify the information for that specific action in the method.
You can even let the shortcut commands work like CTRL+S when assigning them in the designer of visual studio.
I don't do much WinFom development so I am not too familiar with the MenuStrip control. I have added a menu strip to my form and added (1) item to it. All of this was done using the designer.
So I have Utilities -> Download Utility. When I double click on 'Download' in the designer an event handler is created for me.
private void downloadUtilityToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Ding!");
}
UPDATE:
I noticed that the IntializeComponent() in the constructor of my form never seems to be run. I have placed a breakpoint in the constructor and it never hits. I refactored this form to change the name from the default (form1) to 'main'. I assume this is the problem but I don't see why. All of the form1 references seemed to have been updated. I did this with the IDE.
When I debug this application I can never seem to get this event to fire. What am I missing here?

Check on the property page of the menu item (under events - click the lightning icon) if the Click event has a handler.
Check:
Properties Window for the menu, click on the menu item in question for the 'Download'
Click on the 'Lightening Bolt', a small icon below the top of the Properties Window, if you were to mouse over it, it would display 'Events' in the tooltip.
Scroll down and look for the 'Click Event' under Actions, double click it, to let VS automatically fill in the event handler for you
OR
Double click on the menu item within the Forms Designer, that will default to the menu item's click event and fill in the code for the 'Download' Menu item, i.e. MessageBox.Show("Ding");
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Tom.
I got it working. Apparently when debugging the project it wasn't rebuilding. After refactoring the name of my form it was necessary to 'Rebuild' the solution. Now all over my events work as they should. Thanks for the help.
I would like to intercept the event in a .NET Windows Forms TabControl when the user has changed tab by double-clicking the tab (instead of just single-clicking it).
Do you have any idea of how I can do that?
The MouseDoubleClick event of the TabControl seems to respond just fine to double-clicking. The only additional step I would do is set a short timer after the TabIndexChanged event to track that a new tab has been selected and ignore any double-clicks that happen outside the timer. This will prevent double-clicking on the selected tab.
For some reason, MouseDoubleClick, as suggested by Jason Z is only firing when clicking on the tabs and clicking on the tab panel does not do anything, so that's exactly what I was looking for.
How about subclassing the TabControl class and adding your own DoubleClick event?
