I have a form that the user must enter some important information and the only way of leaving of that form is to enter the correct info. By mistake I close that form from the X on the upper right side realizing that my code restrictions on that form was not enough. How can I disable close (X) of that form? I checked the form properties but I couldn't find anything about that just to disable maximize and minimize.

View 11 RepliesI am attempting to disable the close button "X" in the controlbox of a form and keep the maximize and minimize buttons. There does not appear to be a way to accomplish this with conventional VB code or using the Form's Properties.
So I ventured into the realm of API's.
I declared the following API Calls and Constants:
Declare Function GetSystemMenu Lib "user32" Alias "GetSystemMenu" _
(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal bRevert As Long) As Long
Declare Function EnableMenuItem Lib "user32" Alias "EnableMenuItem" _

View 10 RepliesI have a Function Named Logout. Code is below;
Private Sub Logout()
Try
SendRequest("http:url....)[code]....
Everytime I login, It seems to run the logout function also. It DOES NOT do the SendRequest, but it does the me.client.dispose() which logs you out of chat. Is there a way where i can make this function only work when a button is pressed or the form is closing. In the form closing and btnLogout code I have Logout(), but I only want it to run that function when you close the form or you press the logout button, not when you log in. Is there anyway?
I have two Close() functions in same class as below:
[Code]...
I 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.

I have been asked to remove or disable the close button from our VB .NET 2005 MDI application. There are no native properties on a form that allow you to grey out the close button so the user cannot close it, and I do not remember seeing anything in the form class that will allow me to do this.
Is there perhaps an API call or some magical property to set or function to call in .NET 2005 or later to do this?

View 5 RepliesI have a situation where me.close() doesn't close the form. I have a form with a button with the code seen below. What happens when the button is clicked is the new form shows, but the original form(calling form) is still there. When I go into debug mode, I can see the me.close() execute, but nothing happens (calling form stays open). When I close the second form both forms close. If I comment out the call for the second form to open the first form closes without problem.
