Hiding Form - Hotkeys Only Recognized Once
Dec 19, 2010
I have a small app with one form (form1) which is supposed to be hidden until a hot key combo is pressed. I have read and taken sample code from: [URL]. I do have a keyboard class that hooks keyboard input, (I have my reasons) but it's odd that it will recognise the first hotkey and fire the event, but none after that? The problem is, I can make the form show, but not hide again. It will only recognise one shortcut, one time. How do I make it respond to another hotkey combo? Is the handle changing? Even with focus, the enabled form is not hiding again.

I want to enable application framework using Form2 as the startup form. The Startup form: combo box lists Form2 when enable application framework is unchecked, but when checked, I get the message that the startup object must be a form, the project then compiles and shows another form as startup. Declarations for Form2 are as follows:

I'm writing a program where there's a toolbar at the top, and to hide the toolbar you click "Hide Toolbar", but I need to create a hotkey to make it come back.

I have three forms: A, B and C. Upon a button being clicked, A displays B. Similarly, B displays C. Both using the ShowDialog() method.
However when I use the Hide() method (inside a Button Click event) on form C to close it, form B also closes. Why would this be? As far as I can see, it shouldn't be doing this. I certainly didn't write any code to tell it to do that.

UPDATE: I am an idiot. DialogResult was set to Cancel on the button as I'd copy+pasted it from the existing Close button and not realised that property was set

I have a log in form, and once you log in, it's supposed to show a new form.
The problem here is...if I use Me.Close(), then both of the forms close, and the application terminates.
If I use Me.Hide(), than the first form doesn't actually stop running in the memory, and proceeds to run in the background even after you're done with the program.

I am learning VB.NET and as a first task I am creating a login form. I've been trying to link it to another form once a correct username and password are entered. However, despite that I still cant be able to hide it or unload it once the next form is loaded.
Here is the Code
Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK.Click
If UsernameTextBox.Text = "chris" And PasswordTextBox.Text = "chrispass" Then
Me.Hide()
Form2.Show()
End If
Me.Close()
End Sub
The Form2 appears as coded above but the 'Me.Hide()' manages to hide the login form but then it appears again.

I am working on a project where I need to hide the mouse however the Cursor.hide and the ShowCursor API (Which doesn't even work) will only hide the cursor on a specific form. How would I go about hiding the mouse everywhere? (Desktop/Internet Browsers/etc...)

I have a visual basic 2010 project that has a menu item hidden (visibility). there is a second form (child window) that you can popup and hit a button to show the menu item. I am having trouble finding the right commands to do this. I am use to C and the API where you can get the handle to the parent windows menu, and do it that way. But I have been unsuccessful in VB.

I have a form that is the main form.I don't want it to show when it loads, but when I do Me.Hide() in the Form_Load event, it flickers visible before it hides. Because before I made this form the main form, the one I was using previously didn't flicker.

I'd like to design a Winform with expanding controls if that 's overly complicated. The idea is that I would have rows of information, each with an "Expand" button. On pressing the button, the rows underneath the selected row would move down and the controls that are associated with the selected row (some textboxes/ dropdowns etc) would appear. Vice versa when you click the "Hide" button.

I'm planning on a private software, that I wish that have multiple pages, like a installer. It will not be a installer or anything, and I don't want to use tabs on it (it doesn't fit to what I'm thinking.) How can I do it? I've tought on multiple forms, but I don't see how can I load another form while I hide the current 'on-the-fly'.

It is times like these that I miss the old VB6 language I wish I could hide the current forn and show another form which - this is the important thing - to be on the same level that the previous form was . You see , I used to use this code :
Me.Hide Form2.Show However , sometimes in VB .NET this does not work the way I want it to . You see , the current form does get hidden and Form2 is shown indeed ; however , Form2 is shown somewhere in the background . If there are other programs opened at that time , then Form2 is shown behind all those programs , that's what I mean by saying I want it to be shown in the same level as the previous form was the only way out , I found , was to reverse the code :
Form2.Show Me.Hide In this way Form2 is successfully shown right where the previous form was shown (above the other programs) but in some cases this also is not pleasant because it might take some time for Form2 to load while at the same time the previous form is still visible on the screen and therefore for a slight time both forms are shown one over the other , which is surely not nice . That's why I still want to first hide the first form and later show Form2 .

I'm having an issue with my app where IE will get brought to the front of the screen when I am switching between forms. Basically I have a form with the man menu which consist of a few command buttons that will start up another form once a user clicks on the button. I do not want the users loading up multiple forms in my application, so once they load one form I end up hiding the main form. So my code looks as shown below when a button is clicked.

I am trying to write a program that takes the input of a CSV file, makes modifications, and prompts the user on how to handle certain modifications.
I have the parsing of the CSV file complete, the handling of most of the string manipulation down, and the user interface complete, except when it comes time to move onto the next record.
I had it display the form as a modal dialog, and used me.hide() once it was over to continue with the program. However, when it gets to the next ShowDialog(), it says that the object has been disposed! I've tried a modeless dialog, with a while loop that waits for a boolean to be flipped by a button on the dialog being clicked, but that, as predicted, did not turn out so well and just shot the processor load to 100%.
One thing I notice in looking around is that I have everything based on the "home" form, the initial one that comes up when the program is run. Is this incorrect coding? Does this require the prompt being on a child form?

I have a windows forms application with several 'child' forms. (It's not MDI, and I don't want it to be).Normally everything runs fine, but on occasion windows gets into a state where all of the 'child' forms on the application are invisible when they should be on top of the main application. The oddest part is if I move another application's window over my application (i.e. explorer or notepad) the child form becomes visible within the boundaries of the other application. It's like windows is drawing my main form over top of the rest of the forms in my application without regard the z order, or topmost flag, or anything. If I cover the main form with a notepad window, etc. It draws my 'child' forms properly. Rebooting the computer and restarting the application temporarily solves the problem.

i have an assignemnt in my visual basic express 2008 class, were i have to type in an image name, like paris.jpeg,and automatically manipulate the file to be called paris-steg.png. Once this happens i click the manipulate image button and the image should be altered so that paris-steg.png has a message hidden in it. Then i have to decode that message. At this point im having troubel getting the file name to automatically appear as paris-steg.jpeg, and you will proabbly see why with my code. I need to know how to do this. The way i have it, i basiaclly add -steg.png onto the text typed into the text box, this doesnt work when the user types in paris.jpeg as it comes out as paris.jpeg-steg.png. heres the instructiosn and my code
(6) When the text file does not exist, alert the user with a message box and do not do any further processing.

In this program you should read text from a file one character at a time instead of one line at a time. If <tt>sr</tt> is an IO.StreamReader, then <tt>sr.Read()</tt> will return an integer that is the value of the next character in the file. Use <tt>Read</tt> instead of <tt>ReadLine</tt> in this program.You can check whether a file exists by using the code <tt>IO.File.Exists(filename )</tt> . The function will return a Boolean value (True if the file exists but False if not).
You can check whether a string ends with a specified pattern by using the <tt>EndsWidth(pattern )</tt> function. For example, if <tt>s</tt> is a String, then <tt>s.EndsWidth(".txt")</tt> will return a Boolean value (True if <tt>s</tt> ends with the pattern but False otherwise).In a string, <tt>IndexOf(pattern )</tt> gives the first position where the pattern exists, but <tt>LastIndexOf</tt> gives the very last position where the pattern exists.The code <tt>s = Chr(i)</tt> converts the Integer <tt>i</tt> into a character and assigns the character to the string <tt>s</tt> .

I haven't touched a project in about 8 months. It's ongoing for work, but hasn't really been published fully so it gets worked on in my spare time. I went to recompile and the build failed. It had previously worked. I can't figure out why. Part seems to be due to AxOWC11 being recognized, but it shows up in the namespaces. I'm looking for the .dll that shows up as AxOWC11.dll, but I'm not seeing any. I do have one that shows up as AxInterop.OWC11.dll and I do have just a OWC11.dll in my list. I've posted some of the errors below.

i know someone will say this belongs in database programming but i don't think this problem is to do with databases and is more to do with visual studio.
when i start to type oledb.oledb..... intellisense would usually give me an option for oledbcommandbuilder. in the current program i am doing for coursework this option is not given. i can choose oledb.oledbcommand but i do not know how to use it (too advanced for A-levels, yes i'm british) if i actually type oledb.oledbcommandbuilder visual studio does'nt show an error in my error list. so what is going on? how can i get visual studio to recognise oledb.oledbcommandbuilder?

I would like to start a data base. Im using vb2005. I've started a new windows application. I have added a new data source to the project. Then I added a new TableAdapter in the dataSet.xsd part of the project. When I'm completeting the wizard, when I click on the QueryBuilder, when the add table window opens, the table already in the program ( that comes along with the TableAdapter ) isn't recognized. I've clicked on the refresh button but it still isn't recognized. (example: DataTable1 isn't recognized in the add table form in the query biulder of DataTable1TableAdapter)
