Is there a way to turn off all visual updates to a .NET form while I am manipulating it? When my program first loads, for example, I set the tab control to the tab that was last open. The user can see the program switching tabs.
I have looked into SuspendLayout and ResumeLayout, but either I don't understand what they are doing, or I am not using them correctly, because they don't seem to have any effect. Someone told me that there used to be a way to turn off paint events in VB 6. Does this still exist in .NET?
I have 2 forms. When a user clicks something on form1, form2 pops up. After user is done with form2 and closes it (where the dataset is updated), I want form1 to "reload" the dataset to reflect changes made in form2.
View 1 RepliesHow do i load the Main form of a WPF so that a seperate thread goes and gets data from the database while the form is in an apartmentstate ? (drag-able / movable) I Know this is possible with opening a new window from your main form like this :
Private Sub openOrderWindow()
Dim OrderWindow As Orders = New Orders
OrderWindow.ShowDialog()
End Sub
[code]....
I've tried putting MyBase.ShowDialog() and .Show() and .9000+ other things The only benefit I've got out of using a seperate thread to load from the databse is i can see the screen right away (as oppose to it being a transparent box until it loads) but i cannot move it around or minimize itis there any way to make it Movable while it loads?
Does anyone know of anyway that it would be possible to speed up the process of loading forms.With VB6, forms (simple ones) was extremely fast but with VB.net, the initial loading of a form (even the simplest one) takes very long. Although it gets better once it's loaded once and the reloaded the next time (almost instanttaneous), but the first time loading gives a bad impression to any user that .net is actually much slower.
View 7 RepliesI've got 2 forms; form1 and form2.
Button1 is added to form1.
When I click button1, I want to close form1 and open form2.
I tried the following.
me.close
form2.show
Its not working. Form1 gets closed but form2 is not showing up.
When I use the following code
me.hide
form2.show, its working.
But hide will not unload form1 and it will still occupy memory.
In my form3 i have this code
Private Sub Form3_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim vs As Integer

I have a form let's call it Form1 that calls another form(Form2) Form2 to has a bit a code that needs to load in the LOAD_EVENT and takes about 4 seconds.
I have made a new form(frmProgress) that only has a progress bar.I want frmProgress to show up and load the progress bar meanwhile Form2 is loading.I've tried using BackgroundWorker but I can't seem to get the grasp of it.
I have an application developed in VB.NET 9.0. I am trying to load a form when the application loads. It is basically a form without border and has a .gif on it. Actually when the form loads I cannot see the gif.
frm.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
frm.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen
frm.ShowInTaskbar = False
frm.TopMost = True
frm.Show()

View 1 RepliesWhen my form first loads or when it closes a number of events which I have in my code fire, such as a combo box's selected index changing as it populates. Is there anyway to prevent this from occuring? Currently I use a boolean variable which I set to true/false depending on if the form is loadig or closing and then each of the events first check this value before they fire.

I have done this before with Ajax but its alot of work and my site is not a Ajax enabled site.
Problem: Form hasn't fully initialize but shortcut keys can be usedDetails: Launch an mdi child with database access retrieving data, and user is already using the shortcut keys while the data is still been retrieve which results to error since object hasn't fully initialize yet.
Goal: Hinder user from using shortcut keys by disabling the keys at initialization then enabling it after all objects are good to go.
Another Situation is:A form with a gridview and a button.I got a hotkey that when press, handles a gridview getfocus event.
The problem is that the gridview is still making its instance and when press the hotkey, it activates the getfocus property of that gridview(which is still creating its instance).

Problem:Combo Box in CHILD MDI Form is not reflecting the "data" added from the table1. I have an MDI Parent form, and MDI Child Form.2. The Child form contains a Combo Box, and i want to load the data to this combo box dynamically "selecting from" a table. I am able to select from the table, and using the following code to add rows to the combo box
frmForeignKey.cmbSource.Items.Add(targetSSID) frmForeignKey.cmbTarget.Items.Add(targetSSID)

Dim fkChild As New frmForeignKey fkChild.MdiParent = Me fkChild.Show()

Problem is, i do have two forms. Form-1 is the parent and Form-2 is the child. Form-2 is having so many executable functions built in. Therefore when i am calling form-2 from form-1, always that takes few seconds to upload(although negligible).
Now I got a very nice ajex_loading.gif picture (moving) form Google and was thinking why not showing that pic in between my form loading process. Added PictureBox property. Telling it to show()...but still that is feeling shy at me

I feel like a complete noob for asking this because I know how to do this in VB6... But in VB.NET 2008, how would you load a new form and unload the current one? I know that in VB6 the code would be:

The problem with that code is that it just ends my program completely without showing frmMain.
I'm rewriting a vb6 program in vb.net, and I was wondering what the best alternative is to vb6's "load"/"unload" commands for loading and unloading controls on a form.
e.g. (VB6)
Unload frmContainer.DetailGrid1
Load frmContainer.DetailGrid1
Currently I am adding/removing controls using

I have a form that contains two datagridview. I need to load the form first or anything that shows a "loading please wait.." form while the two grids load.Basing on your experience what are the ways to do this?
View 1 RepliesMy Problem is that I have a form that when a button is clicked loads a new form - code below. I want to fill a list view with data from a database in columns but that isn't the problem: Whenever I run the program and try to open the new form, the program runs up to the Rec = Connection.execute line before going back to the first form where I opened it up.
Public Class Form2
Public Const ConnectionString As String = "Data Source=PeopleBase.sdf"
Dim connection As New ADODB.Connection
Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I should also explain that the database is a local one and there are no errors or warnings that show up, it just runs like the while loop part isn't there.
I have a listView control on one of my form. It contains no of records. Now my question is how to pass a particular record or its reference to another form i.e. I have designed a form which display's the details of a particular record (Searching facility is there in that form.). When user double clicks on the particular recode in the listView, I want to load that record into the 'search form' (i.e. the form which displays the full details of a particular record).
View 2 RepliesI have a main(frmmenu.vb) form which is the mdi parent of other two forms (namely frmcandidatelist.vb and frmviewcandidate.vb)...........Two forms are displayed simultaneously on frmmenu each separated by split-container(frm-candidate-list.vb on left side and frm-view-candidate.vb on right side)
Frm-candidate-list.vb shows name-list of customers on a datagridview. While i click on a item from that list, details of the respective customers(like name,id,photo,address,etc) is displayed on the right side form(frm-view-candidate.vb).....
But there is a problem. Loading details of a customer takes time(since i have to connect from remote database)... So the whole program becomes hanged(like) till details are loaded.....
Private Sub Form_Load()
datReg.Recordset.MoveLast
End Sub
I want to show the last record after the form is opened but I got this error :
Run-time error '91': Object variable or with block variable not set

the hidden form is already loaded and there is NO form load event and only the form is shown and hidden...
I want to create a form that, when starting, will display in a ListBox the content of a txt file. I know the file is read because I can display the content in a MsgBox. Here's a snippet of what I tried so far:

Dim filein As String = "MyProjects.txt"
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(filein)

objReader.Close()

When I debug my app, ListBox1 is empty.
