I am trying to create a winform that will allow me to close when the form either loses focus or deavtivate. When I do Me.Show, it will call the deactivate? Is that right or is weird? The way took it was it fires when it either looses focus or is no longer the active form.
Also it seem like I have to click the form in order for it to work right. I tried Me.focus and that does work the way I expected.
A form has many buttons. One of those buttons contains code to update the TableAdapterManager. One of the many TextBox controls has code in a Validating event handler. There is code to make sure a US phone number is formatted properly.If the user tabs out of the TextBox the Validating code works perfectly and show a message to the user if the phone number is not properly formatted and the focus is place in the offending TextBox.If the user clicks on a button that has code to update the TableAdapterManager the Validating code fires but instead of focus remaining on the offending TextBox, the code in the button Click handler also fires.
I would like to stop the button code from firing.Here is the code for the Validating event of the TextBox:
Private Sub TextBoxPrimaryPhone_Validating(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles TextBoxPrimaryPhone.Validating
' Make sure the phone is formatted correctly.
[code]....
What additional coding to I need to include so focus remains on the TextBox?

View 1 RepliesI am working with Vb.net and have a form with a combo Box. On load the form is loaded with one of the following details depending on what is stored in the database; Cancelled, Processed and Failed.
TxtColStage.Items.Add("Cancelled")
TxtColStage.Items.Add("Processed")
TxtColStage.Items.Add("Failed")
Then I have an update button and when the user drops down the list he/she can select between Cancelled/Processed/Failed. I want to be able to grey out or disable Processed and Failed, so that when the user updates the field he/she can ONLY update with the Cancelled option ONLY.
We have a VB 2 VB.Net migration MDI application , we have a messagebox in Deactivate event ,once you click Ok for Message Box ,the focus must be set on to the Child Form which is active.

How do you deactivate the ContextMenuStrip when you right click your mouse. Because I have a checkbox that the ContextMenuStrip will not display if it is not check.. If it is check, the ContextMenuStrip will be activate again.

View 17 RepliesThis is a non-MDI windows application. I have a home form containing a panel named Panel1 and two buttons btnForm1 and btnForm2. Clicking btnForm1 and btnForm2 opens up Form1 and Form2 respectively in Panel1. Before a form is opened in Panel1, all opened forms in Panel1 are cleared. The code follows:[code...]
In which events should the above lines be written? In MDI apps this could have been accomplished by including them in Form_Activated and Form_Deactivate events respectively.
But here neither Activated nor Deactivate events fire when you open forms in frmHome.Panel1. Instead of Activated and Deactivate you can use Form_Load an Form_FormClosed events but they will only merge/unmerge menus if existing forms are closed before opening a new form in the panel.
But as I sometimes need forms to be opened and closed keeping existing forms opened, using these events won't fulfill the task. Even the GotFocus and LostFocus events won't work. So I want Activated and Deactivate events to be fired or some other means by which the menus and toolstrips can be merged/unmerged when the form gains/looses focus respectively.

View 1 RepliesI am already overriding the SnapLines property in my ControlDesigner-derived class to manually forward out various snaplines from the child controls of my control -- the text baseline (pink) snap from the labels and comboboxes; the text inset snap from the labels; the top, bottom, left and right snaplines from the comboboxes. Those snaplines activate when the control itself is moved around on the form and when other controls are moved around it.
What I need is the ability to tell the designer to activate the snaplines and then deactivate them while I'm doing an internal move or resize of the underlying controls.My comboboxes are resizable through overrides of OnMouseDragBegin, OnMouseDragMove, and OnMouseDragEnd in my control designer. The magic bullet I'm looking for is something I can call in Begin to tell the designer to show the snaplines and something in End to tell it to stop.
Allowing people to resize and move the internal controls at design time is kind of useless if they don't show snaplines for each other or for external controls.As with stuff like this, it's incredibly hard to search for. I've found one post on a forum where someone asked this exact question that had (of course) no responses. That's about it.

I've recently run into an unexplainable issue regarding a windows form application I am working on. I've managed to isolate the issue to a single line of code whereby a single TabPage is removed from a TabControl, leaving no tabs left in the TabControl's collection. What happens next is a bit mystifying: my application proceeds to enter a state in which the main form's Activate event is fired subsequently followed by its Deactivate event. As a result, no matter where I click on the form, the application will activate for a split-second then immediately deactivate itself, thereby causing me to be unable to interact with any other GUI controls on the form. I thought maybe another thread is trying to interact with the deleted tab object, but the tab is created and destroyed on the same main gui thread. Does anyone have any insight that may point me in at least a new direction? Stepping through the debugger to the point in code where the tab is removed does not cause any exception to get thrown, so at first glance there doesn't appear to be any coding issues going on (although I would not be surprised that is actually the case!).
View 3 RepliesFor speed, I've decided to use temporary tables as the recordsource for a report. The problem occurs when I try and tidy up after the report is closed by trying to drop the temp table. Trying to do this using database.execute "DROP TABLE x" where x is the name of the temp table. Get a Run-time 3211 error that the table still has locks. I figured that any locks generated by the report would be dropped at least by the Deactivate event, but that doesn't seem to be the case. how to use a temp table in the report withot incurring an enduring table lock? The report is the sole user.
View 1 RepliesI am using a combo box on a form in vb net 2008. I would like the user to be able to either tab to the control and then select an
item OR the user could click on the combo box and then select the item.
unfortunately it fires twice when the user clicks on the control. This is before any items are selected. I have tried placing it in mouse down , focus , key down etc etc.
It does not fire twice for the enter event so I tried to use that alone, but then there is no dropping down of the combo box when the user clicks on the control. Is there a way to release the combo box enter event on the mouse click event?

I read data into a DS from an XML file. The user has the ability to "Save" or "Save As" at any time. They can also "Open" an existing file or create a "New" one. (brilliant, don't you think?)
I need to make sure I ask the user if they want to save their existing data (i.e. rewrite the XML file) if the DS has changed from the XML load or from the last time they Saved. On Open, New or exit I have been checking the HasChanges function on the DS. This doesn't work the way that I need. I use AcceptChanges throughout the program to commit values to the DS. This appears to kill the HasChanges even though the DS is now different than the XML file.
Is there an event in the DS that fires when data changes? If so, I believe I can set a flag that can be checked later. If not, is there any other way to track that a DS has changed after the initial XML load? Would reloading the XML into a cloned DS and comparing the two work? Seems like a waste of "time", especially with large XML files, but if it's the only way.

I'm looking for an event on a form that fires after Form.Load. Specifically, after the form has been displayed. Is there one?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to unit test for data being input into a textbox (txtPrice). If it is not numeric, it throws a messagebox stating that the input must be numeric. However, when I unit test, I can't figure out why my test fires the message box twice.THis is my (simple) unit test:
Public Sub txtBoxes_LeaveTest()
Dim target As frmEstimate_Accessor = New frmEstimate_Accessor ' TODO: Initialize to an appropriate value
Dim sender As Object = Nothing ' TODO: Initialize to an appropriate value[code].....
My understanding is that for unit testing, you declare the sender, and (in this case) set the sender to some value that will trip the message box. 112L should do this on the leave event. I then write my expected, which in this case is 112L, fire the event, and then get the actual out of the text box. I then Assert.AreEqual to ensure the expected and actual are the same.
I want to move a label across the form every X milliseconds. How do I do that? I understand how to use a timer, but don't know how to move the control. Here is my

Label1.Location.X = Label1.Location.X + 10

I've been trying to get a Timer to execute code every 50ms and it's worked okay, but for some reason after doing the code 8 times (i.e. for 400ms) it just stops. As in, won't execute the code any more times. Specifically, it's wired up to an animation (Picture) and a rectangle which moves around the screen (Box). why the timer would suddenly stop executing after doing so for a while? It's the same duration every time.
