application.exit (Works but closes the whole app)

me.hide (nothing happens)
This form is form1 that wont close and opens form3 I every other form works.(7 forms total)
I have two forms. The first one opens the second one after all fields are filled out successfully. The problem I am having is I want to close the first form when the second form is displayed, but every time I try using frmCustomer.Close() when the second page (Result) loads, it completely closes the entire application.What am I doing wrong? What is the correct way of doing this?

I am using Visual Studio 2005. What I am trying to achieve is the following: I have a login form (form1) for the user. On successful login, a new form (form2) pops up which allows the user to add details of a student (name, age, address, courses taken, etc).
Following is what I tried to achieve the above said:
1) File>New>Project>VB Windows Application ................for form1
2) Project>Add Windows Form>Windows Form ...............for form2
What is happening is when I close form2, the application is not getting closed, form1 still exists. What i wish is that when I close any form (form1 or form2 or form3 etc ), the entire application must close.
I want to execute some code in the MDI Parent Form when an MDI Child Form has been closed. What Parent Form Event would be best.

Me.Close()
Form1.Show()
It closes the whole app.
How would I change it so that it only closes the current form while opening a new one? EDIT: I put [Not Resolved] Because I accidently pressed the resolved thing

View 3 RepliesWhen my application first loads the parent opens and I select my child form from toolstrip:
'In parent open the form when option is clicked
Public Sub Showfrmitemreview(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles itemreivewStripMenuItemA.Click, itemreviewStripMenuItemB.Click
[Code]....
Nothing happens I don't even get an error message. I've played around with the code numerous times and the only thing that worked was to have it open outside of the parent which I do not want to happen.
what I want to do is cancel a MDI child form closing when the 'X' at the top right hand side of the form is clicked.So, I use e.Cancel = True in the MDIchild_FormClosing event.However, the parent will not close if the 'X' button is clicked, and I noticed that the FormClosing event of the child handles 'Me', which I assume is the parent.Changing the handles 'Me' to handles 'nameOfChildForm' only generates an error Error: Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types
View 2 RepliesI have a main form that has a button with which a smaller form is shown. Think of the smaller form as the Find/Replace dialog in many applications, such as Notepad. It's important that the form is (what I believe is called) modal. What I mean is that it always stays on top of the main form. I ensure that by calling the Show method with "Me" as the owner argument. Whenever the small form loses focus it will not disappear into the background but stay visible (albeit out of focus). If you don't understand open up Notepad and have a look at the behavior of the Find/Replace dialog.
Here's my problem: instead of actually closing the form when the X is pressed, I want it to simply Hide itself, so its position and the state of any controls (checkboxes etc) is preserved automatically.To achieve this I simply cancel the FormClosing event and Hide it:
vb.net
Private Sub Form2_FormClosing(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosing
[code]....
To show the form, I use the following (note the (Me) to make the main form the owner of the form; this ensures that it remains visible even when it is out of focus):
vb.net
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Form2.Show(Me)
End Sub
Now. When I run my project, and open the Form2 (small form), then hide it again (by 'closing' it), I can no longer close the main form (Form1)! It seems the main form cannot close when the small form still exists (albeit invisible)...?? When I don't use the Me argument in the Show method, I don't get the behavior I want. I know I can set the TopMost property to True but that will also cause it to become visible on top of all the other forms, even windows not part of my application.

View 6 RepliesI have a MenuStrip with File > New, Open, Save, Exit located in a parent form, and a RichTextBox located in a child form.The problem I'm running into is concerned with the destination of the file elected from "Open" and the save.When a user selects their file from "Open", I need it to open the child form and put the text into the RichTextBox.I also need the program to be able to "Save" from a child form, whether it's been brought up via "New" or "Open".

View 7 RepliesI have been looking around at how I can close my parent form and my child form. This article: [URL] has some information but it either doesn't work for me or I am putting the wrong information it. What I want to happen is when a button is pressed I want to close both parent and child forms and then go to another form (frmResults). Then there will be a button on frmResults that will take me to the beginning form (frmPTCalculator). With this code below when I click the button on frmCalculator it goes to the MDI form and both parent and child forms are there.
my Parent form is called: frmGender
my Child form is call: frmMale & frmFemale
Below is what I have tried from the example in my Child form frmMale:
Private Sub btnResults_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnResults.Click
Dim frm2 As frmMale = New frmMale()
AddHandler frm2.FormClosed, AddressOf frm2_FormClosed
[code]....
How can I make the main form grey out/translucent black when a new form opens on top?

View 6 RepliesI have set up a notify icon for my form. I want to make it so that when the user clicks the close button that it doesn't close the form it just takes it to shows the notify icon. They can exit the program from the notify icon. Can someone tell me how to keep it running?
View 2 RepliesThe problem: A dialog's FormClosing() event is raised if it's a child, ie it's Owner property is set to the parent form, but NOT if it's a child-of-a-child. So closing the main form does not call the closing event on any grandchildren dialogs.
The Details: A dialog prompts to "Save Changes?", with YesNoCancel buttons, in the FormClosing() event. Clicking Cancel keeps the dialog open, ie cancel closing.
Private Sub Dialog_FormClosing(...) Handles Me.FormClosing
If MessageBox.Show("Save Changes?", YesNoCancel) = No Then
e.Cancel = True
[Code].....
Then the FormClosing() event on the child does not raise, if the top-most parent is closed.
Is this a know design limitation in the framework? Is there anything I should consider before I start hacking a nasty solution for this?

I'm trying to use checkboxes to show and close child forms.I'm using MDI. I want to try and make the child form show inside of the parent form like it should.This is the code I was using:
[code]...
And that works, but if I close the window instead of using the check box and then try to use the checkbox to open the new window again i get an error:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.Also I have more than one checkbox (each one serves a child form) and I would like to be able to open and close any of the child forms at any time.
sometimes, when I use Form.close() when debugging my program, although the form is closed, the application is still running. I noticed this behaviour when using the msgbox function.
