I have a parent form and a few subforms. When the user clicks the red X to close the form I have a dialog box open that asks the user if he wants to exit the application. I have a issue when the user clicks no the application closes anyway. I am wondering what I am doing wrong. [Code]
View 8 RepliesA program I'm developing launches dialog boxes to get information from the user. Right now, the user can still click on and manipulate the main form while the dialog box is open. How can I make the main form inaccessible until the user closes the dialog box?

View 2 RepliesI have a project that will add the conents of a .txt file to a listbox but how would I make the program to open a browse for file dialog when a user click a button and then add the file to something to be read from like:
Dim accpath As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "\somefile.txt")
I'm writing an application in which a user can add, change and delete members from a list of members, and the adding and changing is done in a dialog box with some input fields.The problem is that when the user presses the OK button it should test whether some combobox is still empty, since this will otherwise return nothing and that will create an error somewhere else in the program. I do this within the OK_Button_Click event of the dialog box by testing whether the selectedItem is equal to nothing, if not it calls me.close, but if it is equal to nothing it displays a messagebox indicating that the user should still pick something from that combobox.Now the problem: when the OK button is clicked in the messagebox the dialog box also closes, even though the me.close isn't executed.

View 4 RepliesI have a problem about shown event. I have a login form and a main form. I start the program with main form. then I used frmMain.Shown() to control the login form. When main form is shown, it checks Win. Registry if username and password is stored there. İf yes, login form comes and wants me to sign in and if not, it calls first login form to create a record in Registry.The problem is that; When I click on X (close) button, it closes the login form, but Main form is still running and I can use it without sign in. How do I solve this problem? Or is there any other way to controls if Registry has the record or not
View 5 RepliesI have aconsole application that executes 2 other processes, and then closes the processes once it's finished its work.
If the user closes the console application prematurely, the 2 other processes go rogue and sit idle (As they are expecting to be closed by the console).
Is it possible to detect when the user clicks the X or closes the console app in another fashion, so I can also destroy the spawned processes?
The title summarizes it pretty well. I'm trying to launch a program at the Form_Closing-event, but my debugger just says:

I've been looking around the internet and I haven't really found any solution to my problem.

When I add the required components and click on the button, my app simply disappears, closes, goes right back into a stopped state. No errors, No Warnings, No issues. Nothing. Its as-if there is a stray "END" just before the IF statement. (But there isn't) Its stopping right at the IF statement. My app (THEIR CODE) just makes it disappear and "Stop". The code was working about an hour ago, but now nothing, and thats the only code on the project.
I created an app and what it does is takes a screenshot of your desktop, saves it, then uploads it to ftp. After that it closes. What i need it to do is continuously do that via what ever the interval is set to. So if the timer1 interval is at 12000 then i need to to take a screenshot and upload it every 12 seconds. Can someone tell me why is keeps closing after it uploads the 1st screenshot? [code]...
View 3 RepliesI have a problem here I hope someone can help me out. I have this application in which I show information about workplans. It has a Main Form which show the general information and the activites that are going to take place during the execution.
The application has the ability to "attach" documents to the activities. I have created another form (and MDI form) that I use to show the documents (pdfs) when a user clicks on one of the documents attached. The problem is that when I close the form that shows the documents, it ends the application and I don't know why. It should just close and leave me again with the Main Form. Can someone tell me why is this form terminating the app. Is it because is MDI or what?
I want to retain a value in a variable even after the application closes so the next time i open the application i can get that value.It's actually an integer value, i want to count the no. of times the application has been opened. I tried using static [b] but it doesnt work.
View 8 RepliesI need to update a table when my application closes. This is with the user name of the person exiting the app.
This works fine when the user closes the form from the main menu exit button where I have written code to update the table. However if a user exits from another form the main form is not closed (as I thought it would be) and the code that updates the table consequently does not run.
I have tried entering on other forms under the FormClosing event but this does not seem to run if they click the X in the corner of the form.
How can I get that code to run when a user exits in some other way.
I've made a Windows Forms Application that runs fine. It has some buttons that open child forms, which can simply close again without any problem. As I need the form to be in a dll, I changed the application type to a class library and added an extra project containing an exe-file that only references the main form in the dll and shows it. So far so good...
The main form is basically a tabcontrol with a bunch of controls, buttons among others. Five buttons on different tabs use the same handler to open a child form. When I click the button on the first tab everything works fine. The form opens and when it closes, only the child closes. When I click any of the buttons on the other tabs, the child form opens and when it closes again, both the child and the main form close...
I am stumped, especially since all buttons use the same code to open the child form and everything appears to be completely identical, yet the results are not. Below I have pasted the code that opens the main and child forms. I am undoubtedly not looking in the right place, but I also have no idea where to look anymore, let alone what to look for...
The code opening the main form:
Public Sub StartProgram()
'Load the form and show it
Dim frmProgram As frmMain = New frmMain

View 3 RepliesI ran out of ideas and couldn't find any reference about it so here I go... I need to keep a secondary application wich is not related to my c# project always running in background. So if this secondary application crashes or someone else close it manually it will automatically re launch again via my c# app.
I have no clue of how to accomplish this one, I mean checking if this application closes by something external to my c# app.

View 1 RepliesI am having a funny problem with OpenFileDialog that I just cannot solve. Using VB.NET 2008 Pro.
Problem: I run my program and click the menu item associated with this OFD and the OFD opens fine. When I select a file and click OPEN the dialog disappears then reappears. I click OPEN again and it disposes itself then loads the proper file into a form. The same thing happens with the CANCEL button as well.
Question: How do I go about coding the OFD to open a file that has been double clicked on thus bypassing dialogresult.OK . I can't seem to find an answer to this.
