Battling To Close A Form?

Oct 17, 2010

I have a form open (UpdateResponse) and the user wants to update a datagrid. So they click on a button to update the datagrid (and the database) and then they receive a message (ResponseUpdateConfirmation), which is another form, telling them that the update was successful. I want to show this message over the original form so that the user can see the datagrid being updated beneath the message. This all works.But then I want the user to click "Continue" on the pop-up message form after which I want the original form (UpdateResponse) to close and a new form (CadLogIn) to open (and the confirmation message to close). And no matter what I try, when the user presses continue, the confirmation message form will close and the new form will open. But the original form still stays open![code]

VS 2008 : Modal Form Hide Instead Of Close - Main Form Does Not Close

Mar 20, 2009

I have a main form that has a button with which a smaller form is shown. Think of the smaller form as the Find/Replace dialog in many applications, such as Notepad. It's important that the form is (what I believe is called) modal. What I mean is that it always stays on top of the main form. I ensure that by calling the Show method with "Me" as the owner argument. Whenever the small form loses focus it will not disappear into the background but stay visible (albeit out of focus). If you don't understand open up Notepad and have a look at the behavior of the Find/Replace dialog.

Here's my problem: instead of actually closing the form when the X is pressed, I want it to simply Hide itself, so its position and the state of any controls (checkboxes etc) is preserved automatically.To achieve this I simply cancel the FormClosing event and Hide it:

vb.net
Private Sub Form2_FormClosing(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosing

[code]....

To show the form, I use the following (note the (Me) to make the main form the owner of the form; this ensures that it remains visible even when it is out of focus):

vb.net
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Form2.Show(Me)
End Sub

Now. When I run my project, and open the Form2 (small form), then hide it again (by 'closing' it), I can no longer close the main form (Form1)! It seems the main form cannot close when the small form still exists (albeit invisible)...?? When I don't use the Me argument in the Show method, I don't get the behavior I want. I know I can set the TopMost property to True but that will also cause it to become visible on top of all the other forms, even windows not part of my application.

Forms :: When Me.close() Doesn't Close Form

Mar 2, 2009

I have a situation where me.close() doesn't close the form. I have a form with a button with the code seen below. What happens when the button is clicked is the new form shows, but the original form(calling form) is still there. When I go into debug mode, I can see the me.close() execute, but nothing happens (calling form stays open). When I close the second form both forms close. If I comment out the call for the second form to open the first form closes without problem.

Private Sub cmdNext_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdNext.Click
Dim f As New frmOrder3

RTF Close - Add A Close Button To Menu Strip That Will Just Close The Currently Opened File

Jan 16, 2009

I'm currently in the process of building a text editor type program, and have run into a brick wall. I haven't done VB in years, so I may just need a little reminder on some things. I have coded everything so far as far as opening files, saving them, changing fonts, colors, etc. However, I'm looking to add a Close button to my menu strip that will just close the currently opened file, and not the entire program, while also ask the user if he/she would like to save before closing the file, and then if they select yes, it will show the save dialog, and if not, it will go ahead and close the currently opened item.

Why won't the button close the form? I'm puzzled, I tried another button just in case with the same result. UPDATE: I set a break point on Me.Close() and it isn't reaching it when I click the button, I created a new button and the same thing happened.

Jan 1, 2009

I have been having a problem with closing only one of my forms for quite some time now. I will normally have a splash form that I want to close (and the main form to show) after the splash form is clicked. When I use frmSplash.close() ,in the frmMain_load procedure, it closes both forms; the same occurs if I try using me.close() in the frmSplash_click (even if it's after the frmMain.show).

Form Close During Form Load?

Mar 9, 2010

Basically during the form load event i carry out some checks to make sure i have database connection and a valid login, if these items fail i catch the exception and display a messagebox and change a boolean variable to false.It then goes back to form load where i have an if statement which is if boolean variable = false then me.close

Trouble is this runs through to the conclusion of the form_load sub and then attempts to load and throws an instance of an object type exception.I kinda understand the logic that i am trying to close the form before it has loaded, so put the close command in the form_activated routine, however this still eventually sends me back to the form load sub and tries to load the form, and then throws the same exception.

I can't see to find out how to make my splash form close without killing the whole program, I've looked it up on google and done all the different code variations that I've found and nothing seems to work.[code]...
