Close Form By Referring To Name?
Feb 24, 2009
I�m using a loop to open up a number of forms in my app. The forms are named after dates from a db. They are "created" at runtime so to speak.
Everytime a form is opened, the name adds to a dropdown list in an mdi parent form. The first item in that dropdown is a "close all". I want that item to do just that - close all the forms corresponding to the names in the dropdown list. I�m thinking of looping with an integer, starting on 1 (since the "close all" is 0).
So I need something like:
forms(mdiparent.toolstripmenu.dropdownitems(i).close

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.

I have set up a notify icon for my form. I want to make it so that when the user clicks the close button that it doesn't close the form it just takes it to shows the notify icon. They can exit the program from the notify icon. Can someone tell me how to keep it running?

sometimes, when I use Form.close() when debugging my program, although the form is closed, the application is still running. I noticed this behaviour when using the msgbox function.

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

I am really new to Visual Studio and VB and I am having trouble closing a single form:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.Close()
End Sub
When I use Me.close() associated with this button it closes the entire project and not just the single form can anyone.

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.

I am trying to do is get interoperability between my "mainwindow" and a class. As far as I know the way to do this is to create an instance of the class (in "mainwindow") for example and then use that instance to call the functions etc... This works. However I want to allow the class to call functions in the "mainwindow" The moment I declare the instance on the class as well it goes into an endless loop.

I want to create a function inside my class that will return a boolean on the existence of some data within any structures created with the class.
Public Class MyObject
Public Object1 as String
Public Object2 as String

What I don't know how to do is refer to the object that called the function to get values, including the number of items in the referring objects array.

I 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 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 Imported 2 programs that I made into one solution. I made a "BIG" main menu (new windows form), put two buttons. I code one button to open up the first project (that works fine). I code the other button to open the project I imported, however it says that the name is not declared. Am I doing something wrong?
here is my code for the "BIG" main menu:
[Code]...
now only the "Original name of first project" appears to be not declared, if I delete "Original name of first project", then "the project I imported"is not declared and so forth. Note: These are not the exact names I called my forms. I'm just trying to explain it clearer.

I have added some classes to my project and now i want to define a variable as one of the classes, for example the class is called xml and i want to create a variable called XMLfile and have it as the class XML.
Can this be done? Or can variables only be declared as types (like Integer, string, etc)?If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room

I'm working on a very basic VB.net frontend for an Access database and have stumbled upon a problem.
Dim ds As DataSet
MaxRows = ds.Tables("Course_assignmentsDataSet.tblCourse").Rows.Count
i = 0
Private Sub Navigate()
txtCourseReference.Text = ds.Tables("Course_assignmentsDataSet.tblCourse").Rows(i).Item(1)
txtCourseName.Text = ds.Tables("Course_assignmentsDataSet.tblCourse").Rows(i).Item(2)
End Sub
I get the error that Object Reference is not set to an instance of an Object. I think this is because I haven't defined the DataSet as "Course_assignmentsDataSet"- the one I want to use- but I'm not sure how to do this.

The form is an About Us form so has nothing on it only a text box and a OK button.

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.
