I have an application with a main menu.
File , Menu B, Menu C ....
-1
-ServiceMenu
When the user run the application I would like to show the File menu->ServiceMenu form and the main menu should be allways on the background. I try the following: From the main menu load events call the ServiceMenu routin.
Private Sub ServiceMenu()
Dim szt As New sztetelek
Me.AddOwnedForm(szt)
[code]....
My problem the following the new ServiceMenu (szt form) show in the right position but cannot get focus. My user have to click on it to the form gets the focus however if the user click the File-ServiceMenu this forms works well and get the focus.I think the main menu get back the focus (If i press the ALT the File menu dropdown .... )

I have an application that just stores shortcuts to most used applications on users desktops. My problem is that when the machine loads after they login the app window looses focus and sometimes doesn't show in the taskbar. I tried to use Me.Focus() but that just gives the treeview focus and not the form itself. I mean the parent has focus in the treeview but the form is not highlighted, I can then click on the form and it gets selected.
What is a good way to get the whole form focus? I used me.focus in the form load too.

This should be fairly basic but maybe the search terms are too general to find relevant answers.I have an MDI form with a conventional toolbar. When I open a small non child form I want to set focus back to this main form so the user can click the help button on the toolbar if necessary.
Tried frmMain.Select() and frmMain.ToolStripButton0.Select() at end of small form load but it doesn't work. The user has to click the help button twice, once to select it and once to open it. A minor problem but annoying.

TextBox.focus()
in the load event but still a button keeps grabbing focus anyway.

Q1: How can i make it so that my window that i want to show as a drop down does not appear to take the focus off the main form that is calling it?
Q2: The form that is dropping down has the FormBorderStyle Property set to None - thus the window does not have a drop down shadow - how can I make the popup window have a shadow?

How do i load the Main form of a WPF so that a seperate thread goes and gets data from the database while the form is in an apartmentstate? (drag-able / movable) I Know this is possible with opening a new window from your main form like this :
Private Sub openOrderWindow()
Dim OrderWindow As Orders = New Orders
OrderWindow.ShowDialog()
End Sub
[code]....
I've tried putting MyBase.ShowDialog() and .Show() and .9000+ other things The only benefit I've got out of using a seperate thread to load from the databse is i can see the screen right away (as oppose to it being a transparent box until it loads) but i cannot move it around or minimize it?is there any way to make it Movable while it loads?

On my Form_Load event, I simply have a code which is simply Text1.Focus and Text1.SelectAll. Neither of these actually works. I've also tried this on the Visible_Changed event and checked if the form is visible.
I can create a button with this code in and it works fine. Is this something to do with the text box not actually being visible at the time when the code is executed? It's driving me mad!

I'm having an interesting issue that I can't reproduce on a different project, but can consistently on this one. I have no clue what might be causing it, but am hoping that someone may have seen it before.
I have a main form, from which I run a series of checks. On this form, I have a listview control. Because of some issues with the refreshing of this listview control, I had to create my own messagebox. It's just a form that displays some text ( it also happens to look nicer than MsgBox; in my opinion, anyways ). It's been working great for months, until recently.
My problem is that on my main form's load event, I run this check, which returns an error within a try/catch block. I then call my custom messagebox with a message. It in turns calls it's ShowDialog() function.
In any other situation ( after the main form has been loaded ), I have no problems. The messagebox goes on the screen and behaves appropriately ( ie: waits for my input and acts as a modal dialog ( stops execution of my main form's thread ) ). However, on this onload event, my messagebox comes up and goes away almost immediately afterwards.
I've traced it all the way to the showdialog() call. For no explicable reason, it appears to skip right over this call, without me doing anything on the form.
Here's what the inner trace looks like ( when I put a breakpoint on the onclosing event for this messagebox form ):

I have a dialog that containers a DataGridView, this dialog is opened from a parent Form. I would like the DataGridView to have focus as soon as the form is opened, so on pressing the down key would enable you to scroll down through the rows straight away. I have tried setting the tab index so that the DataGridView is the first selected item in the form. I have also tried calling the DataGridView.Focus() method in both the dialog constructor and the Form_Load event. I have also tried setting the

I have two forms. Form A and Form B. Form A has a datagrid that is populated from a SQL Database Table query. When a button is pressed Form B is launched that allows you to add a record to the database table. I need for the datagrid to be refreshed and show the newly added record when I close form B and go back to the parent.

I fear that there is something obviously wrong with my code, but I have come across a situation where the Form.Load event is not firing when I create and show my form. The form is not subclassed (as I've seen some problems with that in some searches), and I am not getting any errors thrown when I step through the code in the debugger.
I have a break point set on the IDE-created form load function (which does have the Handles MyBase.Load signature suffix) but the breakpoint is never reached and the form does display and work.The form is passed three arguments in the constructor but the IntializeComponent() function is called before anything else is done.

I have a textbox on a form that when it loses focus it updates other text boxes on the form. But before it updates the other textboxes I check the input value in the textbox lostfocus event if it is undesired I return focus to the the textbox and alert the the user with a msgbox. However where my problem is, is that when the cancel button is clicked I don't care what the input in the textbox is because the changes are being canceled but if the value is undesired the it keeps returning focus to the textbox instead of canceling the changes. Is there a way to see what control was clicked on before or in the lost focus event? Can't seem to figure it out tried enter and leave events but no luck!
So for example something like this...
Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.LostFocus
If Control that was clicked <> btnCancel then

I have a form and initialize some global variables on its Load Event. There is a TextChanged event in one control (a textbox) that uses that value. The TextChanged event of the control is triggered before the Form's Load event even if I do not change anything on the TextBox, it looks like that happens when the control is loaded. Why is it doing it before the form? and what event can I trap in order to assure it's the first thing that happens?
Its as simple as this:
vb.net
Private Sub PackOutMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
ActiveFlag = False
[Code]....
My guess is that the msgbox should not appear until the flag is set to true somewhere in the code and then change the contents of txtUser, but it is shown before the form.

I was having a problem with the debugger not stopping at breakpoints. After a lot of work that yielded no results, I realized that the problem was occuring in the form's load event and subs called from that event.
The problem is that it appears that the load event is not being called. Other startup forms in other projects in the solution seem to be working ok.
what could be keeping the the Load event from working?
