Disable An Entire Form?
Apr 25, 2009
I need to disable every control on my Form so that the user can not click or press any key that will change values of listboxes and other controls on the form. I need to be able to lock the whole Form like this because as part of the project I have to print the form 3times with 3 different colors and the only way I've been able to get it to work is with a timer. So for about 3 seconds the form is changing colors and printing itself, so in between that time the user could accidantely click something and change a value on the form when all three prints should be of the same form, only difference is in the color.I can't use disable as that will make all the controls look faded and messed up, I need a clean way to prevent anything from being changed.

Ever since upgrading to Visual Studio 2010, I'm running into an issue where the first web request of any type (WebRequest, WebClient, etc.) hangs for about 20 seconds before completing. Subsequent calls work quickly. I've narrowed down the problem to a proxy issue.If I manually disable proxy settings, I don't experience this delay:
Dim wrq As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create(Url)
wrq.Proxy = Nothing
What's strange is that there are no proxy settings enabled on this machine in Internet Options. What I'm wondering is if there is a way to disable proxy settings for my entire project in one shot without explicitly disabling as above for every web object.
The main reason I want to be able to do this is that I'm trying to use an API [URL] which uses web requests, but does not provide any way to manually disable proxy settings.I have found some information suggesting that I need to add some proxy information to the app.config file, but I get errors building my program if I make an edits to that file.

I have another question (and anticipate that I will have about two more before I'm done with my class project). Here is my issue (and I'll copy and paste my code for clarification). I need to link up the control from the form on either side of the current form that I'm working on so that if I click on the buttons that I'm titling previous and next that I can click on the proper button and either go directly to the previous form or the next form. I was successful in doing this for two earlier forms on this project (with some direction from a couple of helpful people on this forum before), but for some reason, no matter what I details I use the controls do not connect to the previous and next forms.
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Option Infer Off

I'm trying to make my form nearly transparent when the mouse is not inside the form by changing the opacity.I'm having trouble because if the mouse is moved quickly, I can't get its position accurately. when the mouse is moved into a control, it's considered to have left the form. Is there an easy way to do this that I might be missing?

I have a user who wants to print the form that is on the screen(the entire form not just the data) on the click of a button, is there a quick and easy way to capture it and print it. Kind of like a screen shot? I suggested that they could just do alt/printscreen and capture the form that way and print it but they want it all to be done from a print button for them.

I have a program and wish to generalise its appearance at startup on different machines. This worked OK until I moved it onto a Windows 7 unit with a 22" screen. The front page covers less than 2/3 of the screen. I know I've asked the system for 'working area' but could not find a reference to the entire screen which other applications seem able to use. How can I catch up with them? The code is from VB in VS2005. Is this my limitation?

My form contains lots and lots regular expression and other things in one button. whch when pressed takes some time to process.. so the form kind of gets stucked while the processing is bieng done.is there any coding for which it diables the entire form until the process is completed? like disabling the entire form and showing a text "please wait ... processing data" so user can not use other buttons or features at the same time or it might get crashed.

I am using Visual Studio 2010..I have multiple forms and when I hit close button(red X, top-right) from any form, i want the project to close entirely.Now when I do this, this does not happen by default. I always have to click on the 'stop' button in VS for it to close.

how I would be able to print the entire portion of the screen which the form occupies,Basically, my problem lies in that the way I print now will properly print the form's buttons/labels/textboxes etc. But it will not print the WebComponent AxChartspace that I have added to it. So basically my form is partially blank.

I am confused what will happen, when I disable a timer. Will it finish the process and then disable or will it immediately disable without completing process? for example
[Code]....
I want to run getMessage from somewhere else, so I need to disable timer during that time to be asured not to override anything and also before timer disable it should complete that function code.

After maximizing a form, if I drag the title bar, the form moves out of position. This seems to be normal in windows, since IE does it also, but can I disable this? so the form stays fixed and unmovable?

I had a form (says form A)with control on it, 2 buttons with text "View Process Flow"(Button1) and "Manual trigger Process"(Button2). Both button will load and shows Form A in Panel1 in Form1, but button1 will let user to see the action but block them on clicking on it, button2 will let User see and clickon the control.
In other software, I can use a transparency button or form block User by acess formA(so, they can see,but not click), But VB2008 transparentcy option kind of idiot(Or i dont know how to use it?)seem it just change the control back color to parent's backcolor(totaly useless, and the "tranparen key" as well)
I cant disable control cause it will stop the animation, only ways i can think off is add in a IF statement in every button, so it will do nothing when viewing = true.

Problem: Form hasn't fully initialize but shortcut keys can be usedDetails: Launch an mdi child with database access retrieving data, and user is already using the shortcut keys while the data is still been retrieve which results to error since object hasn't fully initialize yet.
Goal: Hinder user from using shortcut keys by disabling the keys at initialization then enabling it after all objects are good to go.
Another Situation is:A form with a gridview and a button.I got a hotkey that when press, handles a gridview getfocus event.
The problem is that the gridview is still making its instance and when press the hotkey, it activates the getfocus property of that gridview(which is still creating its instance).

I am attempting to disable the close button "X" in the controlbox of a form and keep the maximize and minimize buttons. There does not appear to be a way to accomplish this with conventional VB code or using the Form's Properties.
So I ventured into the realm of API's.
I declared the following API Calls and Constants:
Declare Function GetSystemMenu Lib "user32" Alias "GetSystemMenu" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal bRevert As Long) As Long
Declare Function EnableMenuItem Lib "user32" Alias "EnableMenuItem" _

I have a form that the user must enter some important information and the only way of leaving of that form is to enter the correct info. By mistake I close that form from the X on the upper right side realizing that my code restrictions on that form was not enough. How can I disable close (X) of that form? I checked the form properties but I couldn't find anything about that just to disable maximize and minimize.
