I have a Setup form that calls the main form after the user clicks on a button. This works fine in VB6, but in VB.Net, the original form either hangs around if I call the new form with .ShowDialog() or the new form exits immediately if I call the new form with .Show()...
View 1 RepliesShowing of my forms is somewhat slow, I am thinking of loading them when the app is started but I am worried it will take too much memory. What other means can I do to make the showing of the form faster?
View 8 RepliesI have a menu which when clicked will load form which take quite sometimes (although not very long) but the user keeps on clicking the menu and so the "not responding" message appears on the title bar of the app. I am thinking of displaying "Loading....Please Wait" so that users will stop clicking the menu or will wait until the loading of the form is completed. I tried these code but the form is still displayed even if form has loaded completely. [Code] I like to use the same concept also when the user clicked the save button, to tell the user to wait while changes are being saved.

View 5 RepliesOn each of my form I have put an 'Exit' button. When user clicks it, another form is displayed (I don't want to use 'MessageBox') asking user whether he really wants to quit. If user clicks yes the form closes. If user clicks no, form is redisplayed.
However, out of 4 forms only one form refuses to redisplay. The code is exactly same on all forms. I have included 2 Express 2008 projects showing one form each in the zip file apps-ssk.zip

I'm having a bit of a problem getting my application to close properly. Basically I have one main form from which all other forms open. If a user tries to close that main form, I want to bring up a MessageBox asking if they want to exit the application.However, when I try to do that it asks the question twice. It seems that the Application.Exit() is triggering the FormClosing event again for some reason, but I don't know of another way to exit the application. BTW, the main form isn't the startup form so I can't use the option to close when the startup form closes.
View 9 Repliesi'm using exit sub when a certain condition does not meet. but the problem is that the form closes. it should not close the form, instead, it should only exit from a click event. I'm using VB2008Express Edition and MS Access at the back end.[code]
View 4 RepliesNow I have a sub to validate a bunch of textboxes and combo boxes.I previously used many IF statements to validate and pop up different messageboxes and Exit Sub in every IF statement.But I heard that too many Exits will decrease the efficiency and they were not recommended to use. Instead, nested IF is better because it will let the process naturally go to the end.Then I found out that if I use nested IF,it will be hard to read, since messageboxes are all separated from conditions.

But, when I try it, the program exits! I don't want it, I just want to close the form, not the app.
I tried the 'Form1.Hide()' too, but it doesn't sound good to me. There is other approach?

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make a secondary security system to use on my computer. I made a form with a password field in the middle, the size of the form cover the entire screen and there is no border. But now I'm trying to find a way to remove all possible ways to exit the form without enter the correct password like CTRL+ALT+Del, ALT+F4, CTRL+ESC, CTRL+TAB, WIN KEY, or any of the short keys. I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate and everything I've found is for 98 and XP and won't seem to work. So in other-words I want it to be impossible to exit the form without entering the correct password.
View 9 RepliesThe form opens a simple form to accept a password if a name is selected from a dropdown. The form is opened modally from the validating event. If I select an item, fill in the password, close the modal form , it will not let the parent form close depending on how I exit the dropdown. When I look at the closing event cancel is set to true implying that the control still thinks it needs vaidating.
It works if i leave the dropdown cell in focus when I hit close.
If I click (even just once so the dropdown still is highlighted but just closed) on another cell in the grid the form will not close. It corrects itself if I repeats the first method.
Even worse if I press enter twice it crashes without going through any of my code when the grid tries to do its own commit edit on the editableControl but seems to have a wrong reference as it tries to use the DataGridViewComboBox as the editablecontrol and gets a cannot cast exception
Updated as I have found the cause.
The pop up password form is a home brewed modal form by disabling all open forms but leaves some menu items active.(mdi is used). It is the disable form that causes the issue. Without that it always works. So it seems the grid cant handle being disabled while changing cells.
A solution that works is to use ShowDialog but that changes the systems behaviour so I may not be allowed to do that.
When a user clicks on the little red "x" a.k.a. the form close button on the form command bar, what even is activated besides FormClosed()
I know FormClosing() is called, but I cannot really stop the form from closing after my code is run. I want to be able to show a messagebox that asks if the user wants to exit the form or not. Obviously if they click no, I want the form to stay open, how would I do this?
I would like to know if there is a way to save the text property of a label or any object when i exit the form. For example, if i type in "hello world" in a text box and exit the program, i want "hello world" to become the new text property of that text box when i exit.

We were using the parent's FormClosing event handler to get user confirmation of the exit before continuing, but have just discovered that the child windows get closed before this is run. We only want a single confirmation message box, but I guess that would require the child windows to ask the parent to confirm.
