Combo Box Activates On Form Opening?
May 15, 2009
I have created a main form in my program to which I have added a combo box containing 12 months of the year. What I want is when the selected month is changed it should call a subroutine which does a calculation. The procedure works but the combo box acts as if the selected item has been changed as the form is opening which is not what I want as at that time there is no data loaded for the procedure to do it's calculation. So what I want to know is, is there some way to prevent the combo box from behaving this way at start up?

I have a Visual Basic 10 program that one forms call another form.. On the called form I have a checkbox object and a 'Click' event associated with it.
My problem is that when the first form 'calls' the second form the second forms Checkbox's click event is called. it only happens when the form.show is used for the first time.

where to start using VB to scan and save the image file to directories.
a program that emulates the simple tool from XP: Windows Scanner and Camera Wizard.
better yet if you have already a premade script in your library of scripts

I am using Visual Basic 2010 to develop windows forms and when I use two comboboxes one after the other with the dropdown turned on with the ComboBox_Enter event I lose the displayed value of the first combobox when the second combobox dropdown occures. If I comment out the second combobox ComboBox_Enter event so the dropdown for the second combobox dosen't drop down the display value displays in the first combobox. I have also put an empty text box between the two comboboxes and that also fixes the problem. So how can I use two combobox in sequence with the dropdowns and not lose the display value on the first combobox? My version of Visual Studio is 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel.

Is there a better way to make a form with multiple buttons opening different things than having a form that has lots group boxes for each tab. So in the begining each box will be invisible and when you click the button the corresponding group box will become visible. Is there any other way?It will be like a background image and it'll have buttons that will mask it with invisible buttons. when the button is clicked it will open the corresponding group box.

In VB 2008, I have a Parent form with a combo box on it. There is a child form also with a combo box on it. I want to be able to change the values on the child form based on what the user selected from the main form. The user launches the child form from a toolbar on the Parent form. The following code is run:
[Code]...
What I want to do is if the Parent's combo box has "Red", "Blue", "Green" values and the user selects "Green", the child form's combo box(With the same values) will also change to "Green". (I do not need to change the Parent form if the child form changes.) I've tried changing the Child's combobox from the combobox's change event on the Parent form, and the code runs, but nothing changes on the child form.

I am creating a simple email application which sends mail from a user's Gmail account, as I haven't worked out how to receive incoming mail yet.I have created a form (frmSignIn) which asks for the log-in info and another (frmComposeMessage) which has all text boxes necessary for composing an email (to, subject, message body).After clicking Sign In on the first form, it should hide it and open the second form, however I get this error:
System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled
Message=An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

How to create an instance of a form if it is not know in advance which formtype has to be opened. If you want to skip the chitchat: the .NET code example is at the end of this post. First the Symantec: when we create a new form, this form has a name. If we refer to that name, we actually refer to the name of the type of object that is just created. When to use of course when reading the subject you might think: why not just pass the form to a parameter that takes a form (or control/object)?
The answer is: you don't when it is not sure, when or if a new instance of the object has to be created or, as mentioned, when the procedure is called it is not known which class has to be created. You could of course hold a bunch of created objects, but that would be a shameless misuse of memory. Imagine the following scenario (seen something like this in a post, but can't find it anymore):
You have a class that is able to trap an event, say the doubleclick of a textbox, and has to open a form when it occurs. If it's always the same form, that's easy, but what if you want it to be determined during runtime? This is a quite common story: doubleclick on article opens the detail form of that article, doubleclick on supllier opens that particular form. If you use a form variable, how do you say to the class which form should be opened? This will not work
Code:
Dim FormToOpen as Form 'you don't want to open it right away, you want to know when the time comes what form to openFormToOpen = Form1You could say FormToOpen = new Form1, but then 1. an instance would be immediately created, even if it never will be used: memory leak. 2. you can never close the form, you'll always have to use the same instance created when setting the form. Consequently, you can never open more than 1 instance using this way.
The solution: use the type. If you know the type, the Activator class will enable you to open (and return) an instance of that form at any time and as much times as you like. (The Activotor class exposes the function CreateInstance which returns an instance of the specified object)The following code creates an instance of the type form1 and shows it.
Code:
CType(Activator.CreateInstance(GetType(Form1)), Form).Show()Or for better readability, the same code split up:
Code:
Dim FormToOpen As Type
FormToOpen = GetType(Form1)
Dim frm As Form = CType(Activator.CreateInstance(FormToOpen), Form)
frm.Show()

I'm trying to create a new screen in the same form, the only thing I've done closest to doing that is when you click on a button in one form, another form opens. But I'd like this action to be presented in the same window. So I guess I want to open multiple forms in the same window.
