I am using Visual Studio 2005. What I am trying to achieve is the following: I have a login form (form1) for the user. On successful login, a new form (form2) pops up which allows the user to add details of a student (name, age, address, courses taken, etc).
Following is what I tried to achieve the above said:
1) File>New>Project>VB Windows Application ................for form1
2) Project>Add Windows Form>Windows Form ...............for form2
What is happening is when I close form2, the application is not getting closed, form1 still exists. What i wish is that when I close any form (form1 or form2 or form3 etc ), the entire application must close.
I want to execute some code in the MDI Parent Form when an MDI Child Form has been closed. What Parent Form Event would be best.
View 6 RepliesI am having some trouble in my Windows form application. I have 2 forms:
1st Main / Parent Form
2nd Sub / Child Form (Menu)
Problem:
I want to close my 2nd form (which opens on top of 1st form) when I click on the 1st form.
I just want to know how to close current child form and opens another? In vb.net.
View 2 RepliesWhen my application first loads the parent opens and I select my child form from toolstrip:
'In parent open the form when option is clicked
Public Sub Showfrmitemreview(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles itemreivewStripMenuItemA.Click, itemreviewStripMenuItemB.Click
[Code]....
Nothing happens I don't even get an error message. I've played around with the code numerous times and the only thing that worked was to have it open outside of the parent which I do not want to happen.
what I want to do is cancel a MDI child form closing when the 'X' at the top right hand side of the form is clicked.So, I use e.Cancel = True in the MDIchild_FormClosing event.However, the parent will not close if the 'X' button is clicked, and I noticed that the FormClosing event of the child handles 'Me', which I assume is the parent.Changing the handles 'Me' to handles 'nameOfChildForm' only generates an error Error: Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types
View 2 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.
I have an issue when I place a label box in the MDI Parent form and then open a child form the label box highlighted in child form?
View 6 RepliesI have a MenuStrip with File > New, Open, Save, Exit located in a parent form, and a RichTextBox located in a child form.The problem I'm running into is concerned with the destination of the file elected from "Open" and the save.When a user selects their file from "Open", I need it to open the child form and put the text into the RichTextBox.I also need the program to be able to "Save" from a child form, whether it's been brought up via "New" or "Open".

View 7 RepliesI have been looking around at how I can close my parent form and my child form. This article: [URL] has some information but it either doesn't work for me or I am putting the wrong information it. What I want to happen is when a button is pressed I want to close both parent and child forms and then go to another form (frmResults). Then there will be a button on frmResults that will take me to the beginning form (frmPTCalculator). With this code below when I click the button on frmCalculator it goes to the MDI form and both parent and child forms are there.
my Parent form is called: frmGender
my Child form is call: frmMale & frmFemale
Below is what I have tried from the example in my Child form frmMale:
Private Sub btnResults_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnResults.Click
Dim frm2 As frmMale = New frmMale()
AddHandler frm2.FormClosed, AddressOf frm2_FormClosed

View 6 RepliesI 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?
View 2 RepliesThe problem: A dialog's FormClosing() event is raised if it's a child, ie it's Owner property is set to the parent form, but NOT if it's a child-of-a-child. So closing the main form does not call the closing event on any grandchildren dialogs.
The Details: A dialog prompts to "Save Changes?", with YesNoCancel buttons, in the FormClosing() event. Clicking Cancel keeps the dialog open, ie cancel closing.
Private Sub Dialog_FormClosing(...) Handles Me.FormClosing
If MessageBox.Show("Save Changes?", YesNoCancel) = No Then
e.Cancel = True
[Code].....
Then the FormClosing() event on the child does not raise, if the top-most parent is closed.
Is this a know design limitation in the framework? Is there anything I should consider before I start hacking a nasty solution for this?

I'm trying to use checkboxes to show and close child forms.I'm using MDI. I want to try and make the child form show inside of the parent form like it should.This is the code I was using:
[code]...
And that works, but if I close the window instead of using the check box and then try to use the checkbox to open the new window again i get an error:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.Also I have more than one checkbox (each one serves a child form) and I would like to be able to open and close any of the child forms at any time.
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 try to transfer a vb6 application to vb2010. In the vb6 I start with a login panel that the user enter uid and password autenticate with the DBServer if ok show application main menu and close the login form. the order of the me.close() after the mainform.show() does not change, The application ends.
View 5 RepliesI'm in the process of converting a VB6.0 application to VB.Net (2008 Express). I have a MDI parent form, I'll call mdiBackground, and 4 MDI child forms, frmStatus, frmShow, frmQwerty, and frmSentence.The layout is as follows:mdibackground - has the menus at top and is a container for the child forms.frmSentence - appears at the top frmShow & frmQwerty - appear at the left and when one is closed the other one is in the same position.frmStatus - appears at the right, it has buttons which control when frmShow and frmQwerty are to appear I have a couple of regular forms that act as dialog forms. The Me.Close() works fine on these.

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

When I use Me.close() associated with this button it closes the entire project and not just the single form can anyone.
I'm creating an application that uses an MDI container to create a sort of desktop style for my form with a group of icons docked to the left hand side. The rest of the form is the desktop area that I want all windows to open in.If I use the standard File-New option that is provided by VB as a default for the MDI container this works fine and a child window is loaded.If I use similar code from one of the icons this also works fine.y problem is that one of my child forms is a search panel and when I double click on one of the results I want a window to open, but as an MDI child. However, this doesnt happen. When I open the window it opens as a completely separate window and isn't docked within the MDI parent. It also appears on the task bar as a separate application.
View 4 RepliesNote: I am working with Visual Studio 2010 Professional. Note: There are a lot of MDI Child posts, but none (that I have found) that apply to my scenario... Scenario I have an MDI form with a UserControl docked at the top. The UserControl is for navigation and is ~50 pixels in height. When I show a child form with its WindowState property already set to 'Maximized', the child form shows maximized in the MDI parent, but behind the UserControl.

The following code does create a form within a form and does place NotePad inside the child form. You have to manually start NotePad prior to execution (I work on that later) but the code does workŠ My problem is now I want to manipulate the properties of notepad i.e. focus, size, location, etc. but I cannot figure out how to reference notepad and its properties.
