View 1 RepliesIs there any way I could have the Minimize button on form while at the same time to have the Close button [X] deactivated (or removed or anything) ?

View 3 RepliesI am building a data entry form. I have code that runs when the 'submit' button is clicked to check that all required fields are populated; if not, the missing fields are hilighted in red:
Sub validatefields()
saveOK = True
If Trim(Me.cmbBillCat.Text) = "" Then
saveOK = False
Me.cmbBillCat.Appearance.BackColor = Color.Tomato
End If
My problem arises when I want to reset the color back to normal. In my form when you click Cancel or move to a new record, all fields are disabled (set to read only) until the 'Edit' button is clicked. Visually this is represented by the field backgrounds being gray. VB.Net automatically changes the text box/combo boxes backcolor to gray when I disable them. However, once I have explicitly changed a control's backcolor, thereafter disabling it does not change its color to gray.
[Code]...
I have tried changing the backcolor to System.Drawing.SystemColors.Window, but the problem is the same. The control whose color has been changed is disabled (won't accept entry) but the backcolor remains white, no matter how many times DisableFields() is issued.
Is it possible to make my app only have one tab on the taskbar? I have already created all the forms and now i am 'tidying it up' and i want there to only be one tab for the whole app. Will i have to set one form as a parent and all the others as child forms? Or is there a setting that just needs to be turned off?

View 4 RepliesI have created an app which has a timer control which, when activated and meets a certain criteria, launches a second form with an alert for the user to review and action. this works just fine. Except.... when the main app is minimised and has lost focus, instead of launching the second form to a normal windows state it opens and sits in a minimized state itself and just flashes. How can I get the the second form to restore to a normal windows state?I have tried form2.focus and tried the windowsstate=normal etc but I'm still barking up the wrong tree.

View 12 RepliesI've created a form that plays some internet radio. The thing is the user wants an extra form for volume control that is docked to the side of the main form. This is no problem, i've made that, but im having some trouble making this form shown at the same time as the main form.In short what i want is that when you set focus on form1, form2 should also get in the foreground.

Essentially what I want to do is copy a WebBrowser object such that I can do the equivalent of "Open In New Tab" or "Open In New Window" actions, maintaining any posted data. I don't just want to navigate to the same URL as in the original WebBrowser object, rather I want to repeat the HttpWebRequest.
View 1 RepliesI have a main form called frmMain from which all other forms and actions are launched. In the menu bar on frmMain there is a text box where the user can enter an inventory item number. This shows a new instance of frmBundleSearch. This frmBundleSearch may get multiple new instances opened at a time. What I would like to see is the frmMain in the taskbar separate from the frmBundleSearch when it has enough open instances to begin stacking in the taskbar. Right now, when I debug, when the taskbar starts stacking the application's forms, all of them are in the same stack, so right-click and "Close All" nukes the whole app. Is it possible to keep them separated?
View 6 RepliesI have a program with which I can open a second form on a beamer, this works perfect, but what I do notice it that on the taskbar (I have windows 7) I see the main icon of the app but also the form that is created.What I would like is that the second icon is not displayed on the taskbar thumbnails, this way I can't close the second form by the X but only by a button on the main app.
View 2 RepliesI have a form in an application I'm working on that normally displays full screen without a taskbar but provide the option to switch to a minimizable window with a taskbar. When I switch from full screen without taskbar to minimizable window with taskbar everything is ok. When I try to switch back to full screen the border disappears but the taskbar is still there and the form is not aligned properly.The text at the top is cut off somewhat and there's a small margin at the right edge that shouldn't be there.I put this code in a keydown event for the form.
If Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None Then
Me.ControlBox = True
Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.Sizable[code]....
How do I get the taskbar to disappear and the form to display properly when I return to the full screen mode?
I have a simple GUI form to hide / show / minimize / terminate / force terminate Processes. i can do all well but for show and hide i need the MainWindowHandle to show or hide it
So here is hide process code:
Dim Proc As New Process = Process.GetProcessesById(List.SelectedRows(0).Cells(1))
Dim hwnd = Proc.MainWindowHandle
ShowWindow(hwnd,0)
If i try the same with show code:
Dim Proc As New Process = Process.GetProcessesById(List.SelectedRows(0).Cells(1))
Dim hwnd = Proc.MainWindowHandle
ShowWindow(hwnd,9)
The MainWindowHandle become 0 cuz its hidden is there is any other way to get the MainWindowHandle of Process ?
