I can show/hide a form, but is there anyway for me to check if a form is hidden/shown? After the form calls InitializeComponent(), and activates the OnLoad Event, it automatically calls the Show() of the form. I do not wish my form's default startup mode to be Shown. I tried overriding onshown method and call Hide in OnShown. It works but this method looks pretty ugly to me though so is there anyway that I can stop the form from even calling Shown when it was first initialized?
I recently came across the AsyncFileUpload control in the latest (3.0.40412) release of the ASP.Net Ajax Control Toolkit. There appears to be an issue when using it in a hidden control that is later revealed, such as a <div> tag with visible=false.
I have a breakpoint on the UploadedComplete event but it never fires. However, if you take the AsyncFileUpload control out of the <div>, making it visible at initial page render, the control works as expected.
So, is this a bug within the AsynchUploadControl, or am I not grasping a fundamental concept (which happens regularly)?
I have a little trouble with my code. You'll see. I'm using the developer express ridControl tool. I have a Gridview in it with a table bound to it. The control lets you filter your info. I have a Select all button that works, the only problem is that if you filter the data and press the select button it selects all the rows, not only the ones that are actually shown on the grid, and I need only the shown ones.
I have this issue right now. I have a listview with checkbox. Now what I want to achieve is get all the id (hidden column) of all check items and pass it to arraylist so that I can pass it to SQL like this:
dim intProductID as new arraylist For i = 0 To lv_list_products.Items.Count - 1 If lv_list_products.Items(i).Checked = True Then
[Code].....
"DELETE * from t_products WHERE f_product_id in(" & intProductID & ")" The reason I do this is to have only one time open of database connection, One of the member suggested it is not good to open and close database specially if it is within the loop. One more issue is the command within the array I need to separate all id with commas so I will not have error on SQL.
I have a tool window that I want to stay above the main application form, but not stay on top of all windows forms. Similar to the floating properties window for visual studio - it always stays on top of the main VS window, but if I select another program, like internet explorer, the floating properties window will be behind internet explorer.
What I have is an application that has several forms that may be displayed at the same time. I have a Messages form that displays messages generated by the code in the form, that gives the status of the application. Obviously, the user would not normally be working on this form, but they may want it to be visible to see the status messages from the program (File saved confirmations, etc). So, my two options right now are I can set the form to be on top of all other windows forms or, when the user clicks on the main application form, the messages form would be hidden by the main form.
aside from the difference mentioned below, what are other difference the two events might have and how will affect the application as a whole? What is more preferred to use and why?
Form Load: *Do stuff* Form shows up on monitor Form Shown: Form shows up on monitor *Do stuff*
The end result we're looking for is a slideshow effect where a section of our main form shows a sequence of secondary forms which fade in/out on a timer.We can fade the forms in/out when they're shown individually, but the opacity setting doesn't seem to work when they're shown inside another form. What I've got, for testing, is code that should simply reduce the opacity to 10% after showing the inner form for a half-second, long enough to notice the reduction-except I don't see any change.
Dim f As New Form2() f.TopLevel = False Me.Controls.Add(f)[code]........
The opacity change takes effect without refreshing the form when shown 'stand-alone' but I've tried refreshing both the inner & outer form anyway, with no change.

I have an MDI application that can either run in TABBED or WINDOWED mode. When a user selects something from the menu a form is shown. All menuItem clicks pretty much look the same:

I moved a project so I could work on it in two places. When I opened the project, I have only worked on it from one computer, my form did not show in the solution explorer so I moved it back. I opened the project and everything was there but I was not able to see my form layout in designer view. The code is there and it builds and looks right but I can't see any of my form components and I need to edit some properties.
I have a MDI app. At the moment I merge my context menu from my child to the parents tool strip menu. But now I don't get a context menu show in my child form?
When I initialize a new form to open, the subroutine in the new form starts before the new form is shown on the screen and so when the subroutine finishes and the MsgBox comes up, the form isn't showing. Is there a way to make the form pop up first before the subroutine starts?
Is it possible in VB .NET to find out if a form is loaded? Also, is it possible to find out if a form is shown at the moment? I think for the second issue it's enough to get the value of the property of the form: MyForm.Visible However, I don't know how I could find out if a form is loaded or not.
im hoping to be able to create a form that welcomes users to the application that i have created, however i want to be able to allow the user the option of the form to 'not be shown again'
I have a new application, and for some unknown reason, it's hidden behind other opened applications. It is shown when launched on desktop only if desktop is empty. How do I force my application to be in front of desktop ?
I have made a validation application, the application runs in the tray and responds to events of another app such as save document, on this event my application runs, validates the document and creates a pop up message of errors in the document. However the pop-up is hidden behind the other application, the other application is locked because it is waiting for my app to finish. I have tried combinations of show(),activate(),bringtofront () with no success i have also tried SetForegroundWindow() and SwitchToThis Window() for win api but with these the app still just flashes orange in the taskbar behind the other application which is locked.I think it is almost definatly a problem with stealing focus from the other application but im not trying to make an annoying pop-up, it is needed and only appears when there are problems with the document the other application is locked and will not respond untill okay is clicked on the pop-up and it is easy to miss the flashing icon in the taskbar
I wrote an application with multiple forms.One form is used to show any kind of messages helpful to the user (frmMessageWindow).The user has the option to not show frmMessage Window.I would like to hide frmMessageWindowbut keep it loaded and continue to add messages to it so they will be available when the user chooses to show the form again.I use frm MessageWindow.Visible = false to hide the form and this works fine.But there is a check box on frmMessageWindow and if I check the value from another form it makes frmMessageWindow visible.
I have a MainForm which contain SecondaryForm as a control of the MainForm.SecondaryForm contains DataGridView which loads data from sql server and I add a collumn named SUM that SUMs all the values of the same row. This is provided within the LOAD event of the SecondaryForm.When SecondaryForm.Load events finishes, the program goes back to MainForm right after the line "SecondaryForm.Show" and here the values of the column SUM disappear.When i write those values runtime, they never disappear.
I have two forms for my application, that are visible in the Windows taskbar. When a modal dialog is popped up on the main form, the secondary form is locked. However, when the user clicks on the secondary form on the taskbar, it appears over the modal dialog box, and is basically frozen. Is there a way to ensure that the modal dialog box does not draw underneath the secondary form? The topmost property is no good, since this draws on top of everything, even stuff not related to the application.
I am busy with trying to convert data from an application so that it can be shown in HTML form via websites. I need to make a tree wherein I have 3 main categories each with their own sub-categories. These are the categories/sub-categories.

I have created a DB with access and imported it into my application. What I am trying to do is startup with regi.vb and test to see if there are any entries into the DB and if so, hide the startup form(regi.vb) and show the login.vb form. have done a test and it loads regi.vb then I enter some details into the textboxes and then after clicking a button, it inserts the info from the textboxes into the DB. It then loads login.vb, which is fine, but then if i exit the app and reload it, it tests to see if there is anything in the DB and when it finds that there is, it reloads the bloody regi.vb(startup form)!!So why, when it discovers that the DB is not empty, it re-opens the startup form??
I have used login.show() me.hide() Here is the code for the startup form (regi.vb)
I have a Windows Form application with a form that has an underlying data set. When the users click a particular button, the code clears some fields on the form but also is suppose to update a value in the underlying dataset on a field that is NOT displayed on the form.
In VB6 and VBA this is very easy to do. I simply says Forms!formname!NameOfUnderlyingFieldNotshown and pass it the value. How do I do this in VB.net with a Windows Form and underlying dataset?
