I 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.
How can i catch the return of say an OpenDialog/Save Dialog/Color dialog?
For example i want to know if the OK or Cancel button was pressed and use a goto statement that jumps to a section of code that exits the sub to avoid an error (especially in the case of pressing cancel when using an open dialog).
I'm building a Dialog in Winforms. It's got the two OK and Cancel buttons that are there when you create it, which is what I want. In this dialog I also have a TextBox and a Sub (coding in VB.NET) that handles its KeyPress event. I need stuff to happen when the 'Enter' key is pressed. Now, I've done such KeyPress handling times and times again. This situation, however, is different, because as soon as 'Enter' key is pressed, the dialog automatically assumes you're pressing the 'OK' button, returns a result and closes.
In both the Designer and the actual form when running the application, the OK button is highlight, which means is has some kind of a focus (for the lack of a better term) at all times. How can I disable this feature of a dialog? When I debug my code, pressing enter does not even get to the sub handling the KeyPress event. It simply closes the dialog and returns the result, therefore I can't really step through the code and see what happens behind the scenes. To restate the question, how can I disable this functionality?
I have created my own version of word pad. When I click save on the file drop down, the save dialog box pops up, but if I click cancel then my program crashes. I am not sure what I need to do so that if I hit cancel, it will just return to my program.[code]
The following code works fine, however if the user wants to cancel out from the openfiledialog they cant they are stuck in a loop. A loop I created in case they selected the wrong type of data file they could choose again. [Code]. I really need some help seeing where and how to let the user cancel out without the program continuing. I tried some dialog.dispose code but everywhere i seem to put it it generates an error somewhere.
I have a problem when it comes to faxing html. Im currently using FAXCOMEXLib because I'm sending to a remote fax server. Sending html files causes the function ConnectedSubmit to display a print dialog box before sending the fax. The application hangs when you try to cancel the print dialog box, it seems like the ConnectedSubmit function does not return to previous line where it was called.
As part of a new program, I need 2 forms and an openfiledialog. On Form1, a button event opens Form2. Form2 has an openfiledialog triggered by a button shown below.
'Form1's button to open Form2 Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
I am having trouble with some code I am writing to handle an Excel spreadsheet. The idea is that the dialog box is displayed which invites the user to select an Excel spreadsheet. Once they have done that, it is opened and a separate function checks to see whether Sheet1 exists returning Nothing if it is not found. The intention being the try/catch block picks it up and gracefully does nothing. The problem is that when the function returns nothing, the dialog box is still displayed and the sub doesn't seem to exit. [Code]
I 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?
Is there a way to launch a Modeless Dialog that stays active even when a Modal Dialog is launched? Can I put the Modeless Dialog in a seperate Thread or something like that?
I 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.
I 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.
Is there a way to launch a Modeless Dialog that stays active even when a Modal Dialog is launched? Can I put the Modeless Dialog in a seperate Thread or something like that?

I have a dialog which opens another dialog. The problem is that the second dialog opens behind the first. Is there a way to stop this from happening? I tried bringtofront with no success.
I'm trying to find out how (if it's possible) you can control a button in a dialog dynamically. What I am trying to do is a lot to write, so I am going to use a simple example to get my message across. Here is an example:
Why does my dialog box pop up a second time after clicking the OK Button? The program continues after clicking the OK Button on the second dialog box.Cliff

I'm making a basic game in Visual Basic, and I have a form called "Level1". In Level1, you press a button, and it pops up a dialog (I made the dialog, which is just called "Dialog"). The dialog has an empty label because once you press a button in Level1, in the click event, the label text is set, along with the RadioButton text. The Label is a question such as "What is 10 x 10?" and the RadioButtons display possible answers. Below the RadioButtons, is a Submit button that the user clicks once a RadioButton is selected. The thing is, I only have one dialog box because the game has 5 levels and 9 buttons per level, so I don't want to make 45 separate dialog boxes. Is there a way I can make the Submit button click event in the click event of the first button in Level1?
