I have two forms. The first one opens the second one after all fields are filled out successfully. The problem I am having is I want to close the first form when the second form is displayed, but every time I try using frmCustomer.Close() when the second page (Result) loads, it completely closes the entire application.What am I doing wrong? What is the correct way of doing this?

View 2 RepliesHow can I make the main form grey out/translucent black when a new form opens on top?
View 8 RepliesI 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.
Whenever I want to reopen a project that I didn't worked on for several month and want to view my form in design mode I receive following error.

I used this project in VB2005 express, but also in VB2008.
When I initialize a new form to open, the subroutine in the new form starts before the new form is shown on the screen and so when the subroutine finishes and the MsgBox comes up, the form isn't showing.
Is there a way to make the form pop up first before the subroutine starts?

View 7 RepliesI have a form ( call it NewForm ) that can be opened from many other forms, but I don't want to have the user to run into the problem of having many windows/forms open.I want to close the calling form and open NewForm.NewForm will prompt the user for information, but if the user doesn't find what they are looking for I want to have a "Cancel" button on the form. With the "Cancel" button I want to go to the previous form.is there a way to tell which form called NewForm so I can just reopen/unhide that form/window.
View 5 RepliesI have been making a webbrowser for a while now, everything works well, except i am unable to make the 'open in a new window' button work right. So far i have managed to get a new instance of my form to open with the right url, but i am unable to keep that new form open when the orginal parent form closes.
Code:
Private Sub WebBrowser1_NewWindow(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.NewWindow
e.Cancel = True
Dim Href As String

when you login it is the meaning that another form opens. But as soon as the new form opens up everything closes. The code i used is this:
Public Class Form1
Public Goldhave As Integer
Public UserName2, Password As String

I am using VS 2008, Windows XP R3, and Visual Basic.When I open some forms in the form designer, (In Solution Explorer, right click on the form, then select View Designer) the form always opens as Edited. An Asterisk "*" appears after the form name in the open window tabs. If I open the form to just view the code (In Solution Explorer, right click on the form, then select View Code), the form opens normally. This happens for just some forms.
It always happens for the same forms, and never happens for the other forms. What I am missing in those forms where the designer always thinks the form has been edited?
When opening a button and opening a new form as soon as it opens it close for some reason but its not giving any errors as to why its doing this now I've checked the linked linking it to the next form that's fine.
Private Sub PrintPerscription_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Login.con.Open()
sql = "SELECT Patient.* FROM Patient where Patient.Wardno = " & Login.WardNo.ToString
da = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sql, Login.con)
noOfRows = da.Fill(dsPatient, "Patient")

When I use

View 15 RepliesI need to create a program that requires password entry. I was thinking of having a form that the user uses to set the password that only opens once (unless a button on the main form is clicked to reset the password.) once the password has been set, the form closes and another opens to enter the password and for each and every time the program is run. Another thing is that if the password has been entered wrong 3 times, the program gives a message box and closes on the ok button.

I have two forms , first one is search and second is showing the data searched by first form search criteria. When the search query runs it takes lot of sql server resources, so I have passed that query to second form, it searches in database and shows the results. But if the results are not found I wish to close the second form in Form load event. As Second forms form load event searches for the record. I tried to use SecondForm.close in SecondForm.load event but failed to do so.
