Multiple Forms - Declare And Instantiate Second Form On Program Start - Use Button Simply To Show Form?
Jan 14, 2010I have a program that uses two forms. The program opens to the Main form, and the user can navigate to the other form from the Main form through use of a button. Here's the way I've currently written it: When the Main form loads, it declares and instantiates the other form during the load procedure. When the user presses a button, the second form is displayed by means of the ShowDialog method. On the second form, there is a Return to Main Screen button which closes the second form, bringing the user back to the Main form.
So, here's the structure of the code:
Code:
Public Class frmMainForm
Dim frmSecondForm As New SecondForm
Private Sub btnSecondForm_Click(blah, blah, blah) Handles blah, blah, blah
[CODE]...
Here's my reasoning: Originally, I wrote the code so that a new instance of the second form was created every time the button was pressed. The problem was that whatever data was displayed on the second form, previously, was lost when the user returned to it a second time. Since the user would be switching back and forth between these forms, frequently, I needed that data to persist.
What is the best practice for accomplishing this:
1) Declare and instantiate the second form on program start, as I have done, and use the button simply to show the form?
2) Declare and instantiate the second form each time the button is pressed but maintain the variables on the Main form and pass them ByRef to a custom constructor for the second form? Is this even possible?
3) Something else?
Forms :: Make A Button Click Only So Many Times Until It Becomes Disabled
Jan 17, 2010I would like to know how to make a button click only so many times until it becomes disabled.
I would also like to know how to keep what is put in a RichTextBox there, without erasing the other text;
Example: Two buttons, the first puts "1" into the RTB, and the second puts "2" into the RTB. However when I press the second button, it over writes the first value.
How can I prevent this?

Nov 25, 2009vb.net experts, I am new to vb.net but I have some programming background and some experience. What I want to do is this. As of right now I have a webpage with buttons on it and each button once clicked runs a script in DOS and a the DOS command windows appear.
I would like to make a vb.net form with buttons on it that each button when clicked executes the same program. However the kicker is I want the DOS output to be displayed within the form along with a scrolling bar to the right of the window so a person can scroll thru the outputted DOS window. Does that make sense?

Forms :: Backward Button To Go Back To Form From Opened .exe Program?
Jun 20, 2012I am currently working on a program that has several buttons in it lined up. Each button goes to different applications (.exe programs). The program I am making is suppose to be a fullscreen program and won't let you see any of Windows when it's running.
Therefore I want to make a "back" button that always stays on top of any application and when I push it it will take me back to my WindowsForm (startpage of the program).I am also wondering if you can make it so all .exe programs only can run ONCE. So if I press one of the buttons saying "open notepad" I want it to work so it can't open Notepad once again making it two notepads open. Just go back to the first Notepad opened.
Forms :: Checked=True For Any Radio Button Form Loads?
Jul 4, 2011My 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?
