View 5 RepliesI am looking to close the application when I click a cancel button in a login page, but I don't want to do it in such a way that Window 2 closes itself, but by sending some notification to Main Window, and Main Window closes the application. Here's the code that I have so far:
(in loginPage)
Public Event CloseApp As EventHandler
Private Sub CancelButton_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles CancelButton.Click

If I show a new non-modal child window using .Show(frmParent), and then the parent window is minimized, the child will get minimized automatically as well.
View 2 RepliesI have a filter that is used to populate a grid view and the url will conain: /example/grid?value1=1&value2=2
It will then have a link to page 2, which allows them to edit something.I then want them to click a link that will send them back to the gridview under the same parameters of: /example/grid?value1=1&value2=2
Is this possible? How do I hold on and fill in the URL values so it knows how to refill the grid view accordingly?
I have the following code in child window which is working but what I want to do is instead of using response.write I want to use label control or to display all the filename like this:
music.pdf, inventory.doc
My Ultimate goal is to pass the values in string (e.g.: "music.pdf, inventory.pdf" ) to the parent window. How do I do it?

I'm working on a sdi-like WPF application with VB as the code behind. Basically, I have a main window that has some tabs and a button that opens (shows) another child window. I need that child window to refer back to the parent main window and automatically bring it in focus and have a specific tab selected (via a button on that child). The child window is a separate class file with its own xaml and VB code in my project.In the child I tried using
My.Windows.MainWindow.myTabControl.ItemSelected = My.Windows.MainWindow.tabIWantSelected
My.Windows.MainWindow.Focus()
but this does not appear to work as the main window in the background doesn't appear to be referenced in this way. I can use My.[bla bla].Show() - but that creates a whole new instance of the main window on top of the old one. Activate() doesn't work either since the main window is already activated.It seems like a simple task but am I forced to use something like SetForegroundWindow()?
My VB.NET WinForms program (parent) calls another VB.NET Console program (child) with Process.Start(). The child application runs quickly and I would like a status message returned to the parent. How can I send a string from the child to parent?Is there some built-in way because of the parent-child relationship or must I use some other interface like sockets?
View 2 RepliesI haven't programmed in Visual Basic before. I downloaded the 2008 Visual Basic and I'm trying to write something that activates the frontmost window of the parent process. I realize that there's a few steps... find the parent process, get its first window (z-axis wise), then raise that window even though it currently isn't the active program.
I've found some example code on the net, but none of it compiles, even code I found at Microsoft. I'm guessing that it's all an older syntax that's no longer supported. [code]...
Here's an example of what I mean: I have Microsoft Word open. I click 'Save As' to open the SaveFileDialog. When I try to click back into Word the SvaeFileDialog window flashes and it plays a beep noise. More importantly, it doesn't let the main program gain focus whilst it's open.

How to pass datagrid values to parent window?
i'm new to vb.net.Pls help me any one.
I am trying to create a simple parent-child form in VB2010. I use a datagridview for each table/datasource and each is bound to the paretn/child table and each table grid fills correctly. What I want is the parent-child relation to enforce filling the child table with only rows that fulfill the current row on the parent. I have created a DataRelation in the form load, but it will not permit a relation between tables in 2 different datasets. If I attempt to place both tables in a single dataset and define the PK-FK relation in the SQL Serve,r I cannot create 2 separate datagrids from the same dataset.

View 3 RepliesI am having form called Test1 which contains button( Button1). When I press the button the message box is getting displaying,but at the same time I am accessing the Form Test1. It should not be the case, because before closing the message box the control should not allow to focus the Test1. But in my case the control is allowing to focus the Test1(form) before closing the message box.
Sample code.
If myReader.Read() Then
MsgBox("Matched record exist.", MsgBoxStyle.Information, "Data Tool")

I am using modal window for my VB.NET program and I am trying to open this child modal window from another window, after I close the child modal window I am trying to refresh the parent but I am getting retry/cancel popup, I tried a lot of things to avoid but I can't get rid of this popup.
View 1 RepliesI'm using ASP.net; I have a popup browser window that contains an databound gridview with textboxes. It has an "Add to Order" button which takes the values entered and updates the database, then closes the popup and refreshes the parent. This currently works perfectly using window.opener.document.forms[0].submit();self.close(); in a RegisterScriptBlock
I now need to update the database on gridview page chage so that textbox values are not lost. I put window.opener.document.forms[0].submit(); into the PageIndexChanging event of the datagrid, but it does not refresh the parent window. Refreshing the parent window with the order lines helps the user see what they have already ordered. My update database method runs fine, just not the parent browser refresh. I also tried "window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location.href" to no avail.Refresh parent browser window on GridView page change?

VB Windows form Application.. I am developing an application of which part of the program is around configuration settings allowing the user to enter configuration items. When the menubar item for configuration menu is clicked on the main form the menu opens.This is fine but the mainform should not become active again until the configuration menu has closed. This does not happen right now and the mainform simply comes to the foreground and the configuration form goes to the background... I realize that coding an event on the Child form to handle this would not work because the child window loses control and the main form gains control.. I thought of coding a function as follows on the main form but it does not seem logical because i would have to add to it for everyform and do checking to make sure the child is actually open before trying to close it..

Dim MailConfig As New MailSettingsWindow()
