I have several forms that are "reused," or vistited more than once per each time in the whole program. In VB6, using Form.Show() would show the form in its original state (the state is was when created in the designer). After closing this form (Unload Me), showing it again would still show the form in its original state.
I am coding in VB.NET 2008, and noticed that when I reopen a form I had closed during a session using my program, the form is in the state it was when I closed it (labels and listboxes filled with data), and not in its original state. I currently have the Form.Closing event filled with code to clear all of the controls, but I think that there must be a better way to "clear" or "reset" the form.
Imports System.Data Imports System.Data.OleDb Public Class Form1 Dim con As OleDbConnection Dim cmd As OleDbCommand
[CODE]...............
The insertion part of the form works great. But my problem is in the form load part......If i leave a field blank(Null),then perform Save operation,close the form after successful insertion and then reopen the form,then it retains the previous values during the form load......This is only in case where i leave a field blank in the previous data entry in the database.......But if i enter values in all fields then form load is working great.
I am developing a application where I have 1 parent from (windowstate of Parent from is set to Maximized) and 2 child forms. In my Parent form I have a menustrip with following code to activate child -
I have two forms, forms a and b. Each form has a combo box. The user selects an item from form A's combo box and saves their selection to a database by pressing a button. How can I display their combo box selection from form A in form B's combo box on form B's form_load event?
I have a pile of checkboxes on one particular form and would like to clear them all at the form load rather that saying chk1.Checked = False for all of them.
Here is the code I was trying to use but 'checked' is not a member of Systems.Windows.Forms.Controls.[code]....
I have connected a form to my database, which displays info when the form loads, butttt it displays them from load, which is not what I need, can someone tell me how to clear the form upon load so that none of the textbox fierlds have data within them? Untill I request them to.
i'm making a vb aplication (only my second one so dont be to cruel) and i'm just wondering how to make it so that when somebody closes my aplication down and open it back up it restores it to the same state, i've had a look on google and the only thing i can find are how to remember the size and position of the form using the registry and also using flat file databases to hold the values of all the text box's but is there an easier and more elegant way
I have a code snippet that I want to run when the app is closing. So, I used FormCLosing event. But now i wanna place a confirmation message for exiting. Like, if the user clicks the Exit(X) button, there'll be a prompt, if he clicks NO, then the app will not close and revert to previous state. Now I find that hard to achieve using FormClosing event. because it'll get executed no matter what button the user clicks.
recommend the cleanest way to save / restore a winform's location and state? For some time now I've been using a method similiar to what I posted below (based on the CodeProject: [URL]..The problem with this method is that when the form loads, it is drawn in an initial location, then moved / maximized afterwards. The effect creates somewhat of an eye sore watching the window draw, then quickly update... but in Vista it is a lot more obvious.
What I would like to do is restore a form to it's previously saved location / state invisible to the user, then show it once it's where it needs to be. Or, just know of the ideal way this is supposed to be done - specifically in Vista.
I want to build in the Mongoose web server into my application. My program consists of a form and a module. The module contains the Mongoose code copied from here: [URL] If I call the Main() function in the module from my form's Load event then the web server starts correctly and I can connect to it. However, that's as far as the applicaiton goes - my form doesn't load up. I guess this is because my application is only single threaded and the Mongoose code basically puts the thread into sleep mode waiting for a http request.
So, the question is how do I go about getting Mongoose into a separate thread that starts up when my application starts, but then allows my form to load and be operable?
I am using web browser control in one of my forms for displaying html files (local files). Before I load the next file I want to clear the webbrowser control of the previous page. I am trying the following method which I found while searching the net.
private Sub ClearWebBrowser(ByVal wb As WebBrowser) Dim tempDoc As IHTMLDocument2 = CType(wb.Document.DomDocument, IHTMLDocument2) tempDoc.write("") tempDoc.close() End Sub
I have added the reference for mshtml namespace in com tab. When trying to run the program, error is thrown like "Type 'IHTMLDocument2' is not defined. (BC30002)".
the code below is for creating controls at runtiem, but i have realised even tho i remove the controls and then add controls, they are keeping their settings and more so the Data, eg the checked list boxes are keeping their data so if i do some work with 1 of the 3 pannels then when i change the pannel im working on it still has its lists, how would i go about using a 'frest template' as in a clear all previous settings just so their isn't any possable errors.
How do you restore a dataset to the previous state before updating the database with a data adapter? I have a concurrency update problem that I believe to be caused by this. The update fails during the update and a rollback command is issued using a SQLTransaction object. However, now the rowstates of the rows that did not have errors have been changed to unchanged. So this record is no longer availible to be inserted into the database. When I updated the value that could not be null and then test the second update which runs just as the first does then I get a concurrency error. The update code is below:
I have a table bound to my project, we will call the bindingsource name = MyBindingSource According to what I have read, it seems as though I should be able to simply have a line:
MyBindingSource.Clear()
and this would remove all rows, but I obviously don't understand because I get and error message that says: "Cannot clear this list."
How do you make the image in a picturebox vanish when you change an option? I have tried a few different ways that i have seen but none have worked. I have it set so when i change an option in a listbox it will change the picture and data in other controls, however one option in the listbox has no data to fill in those controls and so gets left blank. However when i click on that option right now the images that were in the picturebox before get left behind until i click on another option that has a picture. So how do i remove the picture from the box?

When btnSetup is clicked, 7 rows with 24 colored predefined rectangles are displayed in the pbColors picture box as as intended. The controls on the first page of a tab control. I would like this display to remain intact when I change tab pages but when I return to this tab page the picture box is cleared. If I click the button, for some reason the group of colors is displayed twice, one after the other, instead of once as intended.
I created a visual basic express edition project and when completed pressed Save All. Then proceded to work on another version and saved that one as well, Now the project cannot find the original version which is the only working one. I have all of the projects backec up but they will not load. Where do I have to move the files so Visual basic can find them?
I have a DataGridView that has columns with a value type of boolean.To load the DataGridView, I load values into a DataTable then set theDataGridView.DataSource = theTable What value can I use in the table to load an intermediate check state?
Would it be better to use a check box control with a value than to use a column set to the boolean data type?
The check box is for display only, and will not need to be changed.
I haven't used VB in decades and I'm restarting with what I thought would be a simple program. I have two fields on a little form, both of which display a date (dd/mm/yyyy). Field1 is an entry field except on load where is contains a date calculated from field2 (which is 'now' upon application load). Field1 is 'now' + 10 days. This is the default state.
Once loaded (with the data described above), the user can input only in field1. Field2, an inactive field used only for display, is field1 - 10 days. After 15 seconds, fields 1 and 2 revert to their default states as described in the first paragraph. I'm getting all messed up with the 'on load' state. I'll start playing with the timer once I get the initial stuff done.
I am having a function which populates a combobox (cmbProjtype) as shown below,

I have a VB2005 winforms application that will loads city data from my database table. This is to ensure that the user enters the correct city spelling, in order to receive an accurate quote. Currently, there are about 150K cities that are being loaded to the dropdown listbox on page load. It takes about 30-40 seconds for that page to load. My initial thought was to allow the user to select the state first. Then load the city values. But the user has the option of going back and requesting a quote for a different city / state.
I have a DataGridView on a form that is being populated from a SQL table dataset by giving criteria from a previous form. I have 6 columns in the dataset, of which the last column should be combo box column containing items "Done" and "Pending". How do I make this bound column to a combo box column and display the value as well as the alternate item too in the combo box?

i would like to take a selected aircraft type from a previous form and put it into the form i am working on at the moment, but i want to edit the string so it only has 4 characters.I thought the above line would do it but apparently not. the error is to do with the length.An example:the model in 'the other' combobox is A330-200/-300 and i would like to put A330 into the new combobox cmbType in the above code.
When .Clear() is invoked, is the memory freed up that was allocated when all of the items were added? I need to load several lists of codes from a database depending on the import selected by the user. Each list of codes will be a List(Of String). My idea is that I will load only small strings into a List(Of String) along with a List(Of <class>) for the data I will be validating and manipulating. When I am done, I want all of the data from the Lists to be purged from memory. Will .Clear() take care of that or does the memory still remain allocated and have to be dumped by the OS once memory gets full? (And, incidentally, what causes the OS to decide which memory blocks to dump? FIFO concept?)
There are so many lists, I'm not sure if I just want them sitting in memory or not. Granted, the lists will just consist of a single string value for each code pulled from the database. So there won't be a ton of data, so maybe I could just load all the validation lists at the beginning of runtime and only worry about purging the data List since it will contain between 35-50 "fields" per record and there will be a couple thousand records each import that is run. I don't want my program to actually cause a hit in performance in the long run. I ultimately don't see a problem because I won't be running millions or even hundreds of thousands of records at once, but I just want to be sure.
I have a Webbrowser in my application, it loads the same page after it has finished loading every few seconds really. After a while it will either freeze halfway through loading (show only top half of page) or just not reload at all and stay on loaded page.
I originally tryed the .refresh method but didn't work good, then I tryed just the simple .navigate to the same page, works better but still same problem.
If I manually refresh it with F5 it will work as normal again for a period of time.
Also if I run it outside of the IDE it can crash and give me "flash.ocx not found, it's not included with this version of windows" or something, very strange.
Main prob is webbrowser gets stuck / wont refresh even tho the code is in the DocumentCompleted event.
