View 3 RepliesPassing Information Between Forms/dialogs (Form -> Dialog -> Dialog)?
Dec 22, 2009I often use the process of displaying a dialog from a form, with the dialog user input then used to update the main form without any problem. In a new scenerio I launch the main application screen, I then show a login dialog ontop of the main app screen and can launch another dialog from the login if a new user is required. The plan is to update the login dialog (updating a combobox to reflect the addition of a new user) from the new user dialog.
See code below :-
'Update login forms user list as new user added successfully
frmRoomBookingLogin.cboLogin.DataSource = Nothing
frmRoomBookingLogin.txtPassword.Text = "Updating password from dialog"
MessageBox.Show("The password text is " & frmRoomBookingLogin.txtPassword.Text)
[code]....
The messagebox implies the dialog has been updated yet the text does not change. Is it possible to update the dialog when using a setup such as Form -> dialog -> dialog? I'm intrigued as why the dialog does not reflect changes. I have never refreshed/repainted the dialog as never required to in my other examples when updating a form from a dialog and never encountered a problem when using a two tier form setup.
Create Custom Dialog Box
Aug 5, 2010I'm creating an stock management application. At times I want to be able to search for a customer, location, or institution. I know how to do all of this, but what I really nee dot figure out is:How do I create/design a function that calls a form and has the user query information and then return that query's data, preferable datatable.Now, I've created the form that does all this and I have the dataTable but now I want to have a function that can call this "query form" and return that data.I was thinking I have to do something with multi-threading but maybe I'm just looking over something obvious. The best analogy of what I want to do is to create a custom dialog box, but obviously instead of returning a simple integer I'd be returning a dataTable.

VS 2005 Message Box Dialog Results?

I've told it what to do if the dialog result is "Yes." Now, on the "Cancel" dialog result, I only want the message box dialog to close, NOT the program. Whats the command to make only the message box close?
Get The 'Progress' Dialog To Display Immediately After The 'Install Icon' Dialog Disappears?
Jun 4, 2009I have a simple desktop application that uses a .NET setup project (.msi file) to perform the installation. On the first installation, everything proceeds in a timely fashion with good feedback for the user.The problem occurs when the user is installing the latest version of the application over an old version on their machine.There is an unacceptably long delay of about 60 to 180 seconds from the time the installer's 'Welcome' dialog [It's not the Welcome dialog, I've removed that from the Start section of the setup project and replaced it with a CheckBox dialog to ask if the user wants a shortcut on the desktop] disappears until the 'Progress' dialog appears. The user sees minute(s) of blank screen and thinks the install has stopped or failed.
In the setup project properties, I've got the 'DetectNewerInstalledVersion' and 'RemovePreviousVersions' properties set to true. So, I believe that while nothing appears to be happening, the installer is actually removing the old version. The 'Progress' dialog does not appear until the new version begins installation.I've been trying to either:
a) Get the 'Progress' dialog to display immediately after the 'Install Icon' dialog disappears
b) Show another dialog while the Uninstall is running to let the user know that the setup is still running and everything is OK.
I have been unsuccessful with both methods. I'm using VS 2008 SP1?
How To Use A File Opener Dialog And A Folder Browser Dialog
Jan 27, 2010I have an assignment due this week in which I have to make a app that has 5 buttons and a picture box. When each button is clicked it has to show the corresponding picture in the picture box, the fifth button closes the app.
I have the whole form set up the way it should be, but I have no idea how to write the code to make the buttons display the images and close the app.I have the images in a folder within the project folders.
I have yet to be able to find one, the one I found should how to do it using a file opener dialog and a folder browser dialog but that is not what I think my prof wants us to do, as that is more for a picture viewer app that lets the user choose the file of the image they want ot view.
All i want is for the buttons to be linked to specific photos that are part of the application itself and have them open.

Dialog OK Button Sometimes Returns Dialog Cancel?
Jun 30, 2009I have a Dialog that is basically a confirmation dialog on some SQL statements. After the dialog I have an if statement: If frmRelease.ShowDialog() <> Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel then.My buttons are set as DialogResult = OK and DialogResult = Cancel respectively on the dialog form.
For some reason, sometimes my button set to DialogResult = OK is returning me a DialogResult.Cancel, and causing me to skip a block of cleanup code.
VS 2008 Custom Dialog Box?
Nov 5, 2010I am writing a program and I need a way for the user to input information into a pop up screen, i.e. may be up to 10 settings for the program. I have looked at using a parent and child form but it seems somewhat difficult to pass data between forms. I have also looked at custom dialog boxes but it seems like there would be an easier way? Is there a way that a form or similar box could pop up when a button on form1 was pressed and then the user could make the needed selections and then click ok on form 2. This would then save the selections to some global variable that could be accessed by form1 after form 2 has been closed?

View 2 RepliesCreating A Custom Font Dialog?
May 17, 2011I'm having a bit of trouble with my project here... and Google isn't helping very much. To put it briefly, I'm currently making a sticky note program (one fairly similar to Sticky Notes, for those of you familiar with Windows Vista or 7). It's relatively simple, as the "note" itself is basically a glorified Rich Text Box.
My problem is this: I obviously want to allow some for some customization with the font, however I don't want to use a standard full-on Dialog Box. So I designed a small form with 2 Combo Boxes--one for font and the other for size--and 2 buttons, "OK" and "Cancel". What I'm attempting to do is program this form (named dlgFont) to more or less be recognized as a Font Dialog Box. I've got some of it figured out I think, but I can't seem to put the pieces together in a way that actually works.In the code for my main form, I have this within the Class... stuff:
Friend WithEvents dlgFont As System.Windows.Forms.FontDialog
As for the Command Button that pulls up the dialog box itself, well, it's actually a Context Menu Strip Item... I'm not really sure what to put. So far I've only tried this:
dlgFont.ShowDialog
And for the Apply event, I've got the generic stuff:
Private Sub dlgFont_Apply(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles dlgFont.Apply
If dlgFont.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Me.Font = dlgFont.Font
End If
End Sub
That's all I have for the main form. This is what dlgFont looks like: 'A limited-ability font dialog box.
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Friend Class dlgFont

Custom Dialog - Pick Properties ?

Custom Dialog With MessageBoxOptions.ServiceNotification?
Sep 24, 2006I'm trying to show my own dialog (windows form) from a windows service, unfortunatly this is not possible unless I can somehow make it work like a MessageBox and pass it the MessageBoxOptions.ServiceNotification.
Using the standard MessageBox won't work as I actually don't expect it to be seen by users most of the times and therefore was wanting to use my own form that has a countdown timer to close itself if no user interaction occurs within a given timeframe.The Form.Show doesn't take the MessageBoxOptions, but is there a way to make it accept these?

Mar 3, 2010It's been a while since I last posted something, but this attracted my attention. Since many of my programs share the same type of code, I decided to dump it all in a class library for other programs to use.
Now I have a problem, Windows Forms in a class library can't be displayed. There is no "Show(Dialog)" command, only some for event handling. All properties are gone as well. The only way I managed to display a form is by making it as a new variable: 'Dim f as windows.forms.form
But this won't work because of the enormous amount of handlers added to the original.

Where To Setup Dialog Forms From
Oct 30, 2010Where do you setup your dialog forms from? Do you set properties and populate items from the form that calls the dialog form or do you do it in the dialog form's Load event?Lets say for example I have a main form and a dialog form that lets the user add/remove some strings from a listbox that the main form then uses (and therefore the current items in the listbox should be remembered next time the dialog is shown). Would you populate the listbox with the existing strings from the main form and then show the dialog window, or would you pass the strings in to a property of the dialog window and then let that window put them into the listbox when it loads?I realise its not the best example because you could avoid having to do either if you just didnt dispose the dialog window, but there are numerous situations in my programs where I need to setup items on a dialog window (and dispose it when it has closed) and I currently tend to do it all from the form that is showing the dialog window. This often means I end up with a ton of code in my 'main' form if it calls several dialog windows though so it just got me wondering if other people tend to let the dialog windows do all the work themselves.
View 5 RepliesLook At Other Forms While Dialog Form Open?
Jun 2, 2010At one point I have a dialog form open, but in order to process it, the user might want to access information on other (open) forms. This would necessitate the ability to move/resize/scroll the other forms, but obviously everything is frozen during the dialog. I don't suppose it's possible to achieve this "semi-modal" state, where other forms can be browsed, but no other actions taken?

View 1 RepliesCreate A Multiline Input Dialog Box?
Oct 21, 2011I've checked various numbers of resources to try and find a way to create a multiline input dialog box.IE something that is a simple inputbox() with any number of lines in it or capable of a scrolling multiline dialog box.
So far I have found nothing. I know I can create one using vb Studio, but i'm trying to write a script for SecureCRT that will allow multiple lines of data to be input, then only certain information pulled from that data, run in a command, then the output set to a file. This will then loop and append any further output data to the end of the same file.I've so far got it built to ask for how many times it needs to loop based on how many servers we are checking on, but we are looking to cut the time down to where we can copy the info into the clipboard, paste it into a text box (when prompted for a mutli server check) then run the above paragraph as noted.
