Forms :: Loads,the Components Does Not Show Completely
May 24, 2011
I have a form that it do some calculations on datas,I create another form (for example progressform) that has a progressbar and a label with text:"Please Wait. I use progressform.SHOW() in first line of my analysis form load event, but when I run the project the progress form loads incompletely and you can not see the label and progressbar in the form! if I add a messagebox.SHOW("anything") after the line progressform.SHOW() the problem will solve and the label and progressbar apear in the form. it seems that before the progressform loads completely the computer starts the analysis...
I've been trying to work out away off using a drop down box to hide and show different components, on top of one another, within panels using this
Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged If ComboBox1.Text = "Panel 2" Then Panel1.Visible = False
[code]....
However this only works as wanted when the panels are separate from one another (one above, one below) but I want them to be on top of each other so I can switch between them. Essentially I want two forms within a form.Second question; I have an equation I wish to implement in my code (N = N0*e^-a*b) does vb have a way of calculating exponentials and logs? (Ie: log(a/b))
I am having trouble getting the shockwave flash object to show up in the COM components i have installed the adobe flash player and adobe shockwave flash but the shockwave flash object is still not there.
I am trying to get a label to show briefly (3 seconds) when the form loads. The following code gives the 3 seconds, but the label doesn't show. The label is set to visible in the Designer properties.
'hide label1 after 3 seconds Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000) Label1.Visible = False Adding 'Label1.Visible = True before the sleep function doesn't help.
The first column in my Data Grid is actually not my first column. It has an arrow pointed to the first row and then the last row has an asterisk by it. Is there anyway to make this column not show every time my form loads?
I have created a project that shows a splash screen first and then shows the main form once the main form has been fully loaded. I only want to show my splash screen once the main form has completely loaded in the background. My main form by itself takes like 3 seconds to load, so I would like to display the splash screen for about 3 seconds and then show the main form because the main form will then be fully loaded, but instead it shows the splash screen for 3 seconds and then the main form still has to load anyway.How can I load the main form in the background and then show it when it is fully loaded?
I have an app that connects to a remote database.The connection to the database is triggered by the form load event of the main start up form which prompts the user for user name and a password.Here is my problem:Sometimes it takes a number of seconds for the database connection to be established after the user has double clicked the desktop icon. this means that during this period it appears that no action is taking place until the startup form becomes visible.Some impatient users assume that nothing is happening and double click the icon again.What I want to do is to have a graphic image or something pop up on the screen immediately when the program starts that displays something like 'Connecting To Database, please be patient"
Give me some kind of tutorial for using the FB API with VB.NET (2008). I tried installing the SDK, but the components don't show up in the toolbox nor in the 'Choose Items' List...
I have a multiline textbox which is loading from a .dat file. However, despite telling it to load all of the .dat file, it misses off the end. I it copies the first large body of text and a load of spaces that are inbetween the first and second body, but doesn't load the second body of text. Here is the code I'm using to open my file: RichTextBox2.Text = IO.File.ReadAllText("00061530.dat")
recently i came across a requirement. I have to create a text box with a vertical scroll bar. I hav to check whether the scroll bar is dragged down completely or not. i hav to do it in VB.net

Did vs2008 or vb.net got some of the solution to solve properties setting of the components are same with each other? Example: like I want to standard the datagridviews' property, each of the datagridviews' property is same with each other. but each time I create the new datagridview. I have to manually set the datagridview 1 by 1.
How do I get my Form1 to resize so that all the (components) buttons and datagridview, etc. stretch and grow with the screen, but stay in their relative positions? I've tried adding Panels around the elements and docking and anchoring, but, so far no success. Elements scatter and don't hold their position, etc. Is there an easy way to do this?
Today I noticed that Visual Studio 2008 always treats a file as if it was a component or a form if this file contains a definition of one.This means that it always opens the designer by default. I think this behavior is very annoying, because a file containing a class that derives from form or control does not have to be an actual form or control and I want to edit the source by default.
My form has four panels, each contains radio buttons. At design time, all buttons have checked = false, which is what I want when form loads.When the form loads a radio button in one panel has checked = true
For the other three panels, all radio buttons have checked = false.I have tested this with no code in the Form_load subrroutine.How is checked = true being set for that that one radio button ?
Does The IDE somehow force at least one radio button on the form to have checked = true?
Can I force checked = false for all radio buttons when the form loads? If so, how?
I have an MDI parent screen that loads on startup and a lot of child forms that load when opening. So as the child forms load there's a lot of flashing and it looks really ugly. Once they're loaded all I have to do is use a bring to front, maximized command and it works smoother than closing a form and opening a new one every time a different form is selected. I've tried creating a splash screen, minimizing the forms on load, etc and everything still works in order so first the splash screen then the forms load.
How would you set it up so a splash screen stays on top of all other forms for like 5 seconds while the forms load in the background without seeing them load? Right now the screen shows then when it's done it moves on to step 2 which is loading the child forms. If no splash screen, how do I make it load so you don't see all the child forms opening at once?
I have a table in my database with 5 columns (ID1 to ID5) and just one row. I'm trying to bind a comboBox, to show ID1 through ID5 in the combobox when my form loads. I have a dataset and tableAdapter's made for this already. I just want to know how to bind a combobox to those ID values.
I have an application that does not load a main form. My start up object is Sub Main. I am not using the application framework. I have several classes that handle different parts of the program.
objAlerts is the main one being used for this issue I am having.
This is how they are referenced in the main program class.
CODE:
This is the unfinished objAlert
CODE:
My issue is that the windows (alert.Show) open in a frozen state where the mouse pointer displays the hoursglass and the window does not respond. The windows show in the list of objects no problem.
Is there a special way that I should be opening these? I can open windows on the main class no problem.
I read that <form>.invoke(alert) might work, but there is no invoke on the main class according to VB.
I am thinking this might be a threading issue, but I don't know how to fix it because this is the first program that I have made using a Sub Main instead of a form.

how do i get that progress bar to be show in another form?

I have a main form, and an options form that opens and closes when the "options" button is clicked. If the main form is closed then the options form closes also.I would like it that if the options form is open and the main form is shown / made visible / brought to front / gains focus / selected / etc., then the options form is also shown (i can see it).
I have a class that inherits the UserControl class, the class creates its own graphics such as a title bar and what not. Is it possible to show this class as a form/it's own window?
Public Class CustomForm Inherits System.Windows.Forms.UserControl 'create new instance, assign/declare vars here, blah blah
I've a really nice fullscreen code I found on the internet, the only problem I found was that you can't make msgbox show or open another form! Which is really bothering me making panels.visible = true/false to make a cheap way of "Forms"orm1.
Private Sub TryToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Call normalScreen()
I have 1 form with the progress bar and 4 buttons with the following code. I would like to create another form that shows the same progress bar with the same progress. [Code]
