i used to write the code to show another form and unload the current form it always told error on UNLOAD form2.show unload me Do i have to use the code :
.Dispose()
or is there another suggestions
When I use
Me.Close()
Form1.Show()
It closes the whole app.
How would I change it so that it only closes the current form while opening a new one? EDIT: I put [Not Resolved] Because I accidently pressed the resolved thing
I have a form with a web browser on it.
The web browser has a captcha on it.
I want the captcha to be shown on the form iteself.
Maybe in a picturebox or something. But it needs to be the current picture on the web browser.
I have looked around and I couldn't find anything that could achieve this.

Or if this is possible, could I add the image "captchaSF_Image" to the clipboard and then paste it in the picturebox1.image? If so how could this be done?
I want to run a subroutine to clear some things up when the user exits the application. I tried looking for a Form_Unload event or anything similar, is there a way to do this?I open a database connection on Form_Load, and would like to close it when the user exits the app.
View 2 RepliesI like to know how to unload a single form in vb.net.I tired form.showdialog() and form=nothing,but this is not working.
View 5 RepliesI have a form that I use to get the user to input such as a username and password in order to make a network connection. This connection can be disconnected and reconnected as many times as neccessary whilst the application continues to run.
I obviously, therefore, need the form's text boxes, combo boxes etc to reset to their blank versions every time that the form is shown.
In VB6 this was easy; you just unload the form which completely removed the form from memory and thus the next time you showed it it was reset to it's blank state. In VB 2005, however, there is no unload so we have to use Close. I have done this and assumed that it would function in the same was that unload did in VB6.
The problem is that when I close the form using the form.close event handler the form disappears perfectly but when the form.show/showdialog is used the old form data still remains telling me that the form hasn't actually been unloaded but rather appears to have just been hidden.

View 3 RepliesBackground: I am creating PDF with PrinceXML.I want to adjust the tracking on a paragraph in the PDF. So I select a unique piece of text, match it in the starting document, add a tracking attribute to the text, and re-create the PDF using PrinceXML.I have to delete the current PDF in order to create the revised PDF.When I was using the AxAcroPDF1 control in VB.NET all I needed to do was
1) If File.Exists(sPDFoutputName) Then File.Delete(sPDFoutputName)
Now I am trying to do the same thing but instead of using the AxAcroPDF control I am trying to do it with WebBrowser [Why am I doing this? Adobe places a burden on the developer to maintain a list of who has the program (Reader) to comply with US export law. This is an unacceptable requirement for the program.]
2)WebBrowser1.Navigate(sPDFoutputName + "#" + sPDFargument)
I want to jump to the same page that I was on so set the page to open in the sPDFarguement variable.Now when my program tries to delete as in #1 above I get error message that file is locked/in use.Question: How do I unload/close/unlock file in the webbrowser so I can delete it?The closest idea that I have found that almost works is to copy the xxxPDF to another file: displayPDF and only display the latter.With this I can delete and recreate a new xxxPDF. The problem again hits me when I try to delete the displayPDF. I have also tried to navigate to a dummyPDF but still displayPDF remains locked.

in my visual basic 2008, i have create like a hospital check form like just pressing some keyword the person data automatically open to another form and the current form will close since i am new to the visual basic 2008 i would like to ask what is the coding work to save the data of a person and how to retrieve a data of that person by pressing the keyword?
View 3 RepliesI have a program that uses two forms. The program opens to the Main form, and the user can navigate to the other form from the Main form through use of a button. Here's the way I've currently written it: When the Main form loads, it declares and instantiates the other form during the load procedure. When the user presses a button, the second form is displayed by means of the ShowDialog method. On the second form, there is a Return to Main Screen button which closes the second form, bringing the user back to the Main form.
So, here's the structure of the code:
Code:
Public Class frmMainForm
Dim frmSecondForm As New SecondForm
Private Sub btnSecondForm_Click(blah, blah, blah) Handles blah, blah, blah
[CODE]...
Here's my reasoning: Originally, I wrote the code so that a new instance of the second form was created every time the button was pressed. The problem was that whatever data was displayed on the second form, previously, was lost when the user returned to it a second time. Since the user would be switching back and forth between these forms, frequently, I needed that data to persist.
What is the best practice for accomplishing this:
1) Declare and instantiate the second form on program start, as I have done, and use the button simply to show the form?
2) Declare and instantiate the second form each time the button is pressed but maintain the variables on the Main form and pass them ByRef to a custom constructor for the second form? Is this even possible?
3) Something else?
Im trying to create a stopwatch in one form and another form show my progress bar using a combo box for mins and seconds to show the progress bar on form1 1
[Code]...
I am trying to use a progressbar to show on main form and then finish when next form is loaded, I have got this code.
1. When I click on button, it must open next form, but the next form must only open when the data in my list box has been loaded from Access Databse. When I run my program, it only shows the progressbar and don't open the next form.
Main form code:
Public Class Main
Dim PB As ProgressBar
Private Sub main_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub

This was a guess, after looking at the Form.ShowDialog method in reflector.My question is, is there a managed call I can make to acheive the same result, and what does a button click do that other clicks don't?
ETA: The problem does not occur if I open the form using a key.
This is a database app where I am trying to check for possible duplicates and give the user the option to keep the new record or assign to an existing record.In form1 the user will enter data into a textbox. I use this information to build a bindingsource.filter. Then I call another form (form2.show()) to display results to user and get user response. This part all works correctly.
The problem is that as soon as form2.show() executes, I loose the contents of the textbox - and it appears that I am no longer in the bindingsource.addnew() method.

I have a dual monitor setup on my computer. My program has multiple forms. I've designed the program to check which monitor the main form is currently on and to open the secondary forms on the current monitor. When the main form is on the primary monitor the secondary forms open as FormWindowState.Normal which is the design-time setting for the secondary forms. If the main form is on the secondary monitor and I click to open a secondary form then the secondary form is to be displayed as FormWindowState.Maximised.
[Code]...
So I moved the Form.Show line to after the Form.WindowState line. This works fine when the Form.Show process is very quick. The problem is that one of the secondary forms downloads some information from the internet so it takes about a second to finish the Form_Load process. When I had Form.Show first the form would not appear on screen until the Form_Load process is complete, so the delay was in the form appearing at all which is how I prefer it. With Form.Show last the form appears on screen immediately but appears mostly blank and unresponsive until the Form_Load process completes.
I would prefer that the form not appear at all until the Form_Load process is complete but I would like it to appear in an already Maximised state. Is this achieveable? It doesn't seem that complicated but I just can't figure it out.
