Me.Hide() Method In Form Loading Event
Mar 18, 2011
Why do Me.Hide() And me.visible do nothing under form loading event? Now the obvious answer to me was because how could you call a form to hide if it has not loaded. Make's sense to me. So i checked the documentation to see what options i had. If the form isn't loaded when the Hide method is invoked, the Hide method loads the form but doesn't display it. Interesting. So from what i gather here me.hide should still hide the form. Or have i misinterpreted the documentation? Because the form does still display. Neither also work under Public Sub New().
The only solution i found was under sub new was to change the forms opacity to nothing. Which works fine. But after reading the documentation on Opacity i am still left with another question regarding "Visible vs Hide Vs Opacity" Calling me.hide makes the forms visible property false, Calling opacity set to Nothing makes the form in visible. Both these methods do the required task but does one take up more memory or should be favored over the other? Just because some thing work's i have learned it is not always necessarily the best way to do something.

I have a simple Windows Form that hosts property controls at runtime. When the user clicks Close [X] I want to keep the window and its contents alive rather than killing it by handling the FormClosing event, canceling the event and simply hiding the form.
That's fine but at close of the application I need to actually close the window. I implemented the below but it feels kludgey. Is there a simpler, more clever way to handle this situation? (The form's controller calls KillForm explicitly after it receives a closing event from the main window.)[code]...

what's the best way to stop a form from displaying in its Load event.I initialise a form using the following code:
Dim MyForm as new MyCustomForm
In the Load event of MyCustomForm, I ask the user to select a folder and use that to populate a listbox on the form.folder.If the user presses Cancel instead of selecting a folder, I don't want to display the form. Right now, I just call Me.Close in the Load event, but that still causes the form to briefly appear and disappear in the background. Also do I need to call Me.Dispose?

I tried to make a menu for my game, but when I placed the code into the form loading event, it wouldn't show. Then I placed a button and moved the code into the button click event and it worked. Thus, I know the code shouldn't be wrong. How can you make the graphics( as in lines, rectangle,etc) show up when it starts up?

First forms project. My textbook [wrox VB 2880 Programmer's Reference, Rod Stephens] gives snippet that starts with [which intnellisense completes, except for variable names, including trailing 'paint' which seems to be the problem]
Public Class Form1
Private Sub form1_paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TableLayoutCellPaintEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Paint
End Sub
End Class
which generates error :
Error 1 Method 'Private Sub form1_paint(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.TableLayoutCellPaintEventArgs)' cannot handle event
'Public Event Paint(sender As Object,
e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)' because they do not have a compatible signature
.
Changing 'Private' to 'Public' does not fix the error.

I'm curious if it is possible to hide a group of text boxes from view in a form until a particular condition is met, and to have a custom set of text boxes for that condition. To give an example; I want radio buttons offering choices for a manner of searching records, the user selects one and then a specific set of text boxes are displayed for the user to utilize, if a different option is chosen a different set of text boxes will be shown. Is this something that can be done?

Problem that you may have when dealing with two objects that are raising some events. Here, to make it obvious, I am closing the form, but the problem can be experienced with any other 2 classes event. First, what is the problem !
Let suppose that by pressing a button, you want to raise a custom event, then execute a method and then close the form
In that case, you may use a code similar to this
Event BeepIt()
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
RaiseEvent BeepIt()

I'm trying to go to a different form my main form and while I'm using the selected form I want the MainForm to hide. I've put the code MainForm.Hide() at the top of the code of the JobInformationForm where I'm directing the program. I thought this would cause the MainForm window to hide. However, I'm getting an error saying Declaration is Expected. How do I use this MainForm.Hide() feature?

Is there a way to hide a method of a base class that has been inherited?Lets say the base class has the properties:
x
y
Height
Width
and the method
sub SpecialInstructions()
Now this class is inherited by some classes that either use the SpecialInstructions method or override it. But one class inherits it but cant make use of the method and therefore wants to hide it. I tried shadowing but it still seems that the method is visible ex
Private Shadows Sub SpecialInstructions()

I have a Class A that inherits from a base class. In the class A i have build some methods/properties.What I want is that some methods/properties from the base class are not visible in the intellisense which makes it easier for a developer. Basically i want to hide all the methods/functions/etc.. which are no use.Is this possible whithout having to use the EditorBrowsableAttribute for every item?The best way would be to tell the class that it must hide all props/methods/functions/etc... and after that i can specify which MUST be visible.
'by default hide all props/functions/etc.... ????

I would like to make sure that certain properties/methods of native framework methods are not called in a project I'm working on. I want to use custom methods instead, and make sure that those methods are always used. How would I do that?
These are the details:
In a rather large web project, we have several pieces of code creating and sending email messages using the MailMessage object. I want to perform some additional checking, logging etc whenever an email address is added to either the To, CC or BCC MailAddressCollection
of a MailMessage object. Basically I'd like to make sure that it is not possible, in this entire Solution, to do this: MyMailObject.To.Add(something@somwhere.com), and the same for "CC" and "BCC".
First, I thought about not using the MailMessage object at all, but inherit it and override the methods that allow adding of addresses. I ran into some trouble though when trying to shadow the "To" property, since "To" is a reserved word... And then I realized that it probably wouldn't solve my problem entirely anyway, since there would be nothing stopping another developer (or myself being stupid) from creating an instance of the original MailMessage class and use it at will.
I have successfully created a method which centralizes all the adding of various recipient addresses, but I can't figure out how to prevent the original methods from being used by mistake.

I am getting a
"Method not found: 'Boolean MyCompany.LibraryAssembly.SomeFunction (System.String)'"
Exception/error when running a VB.NET console application. The method is part of an external assembly and it is definitely in the assembly. The error only occurs at runtime when I go to enter the function that calls the method. I have the assembly referenced by my project and I am not copying it locally. Intellisense shows no errors, and neither does the compiler. I am loading the assembly statically not dynamically. I reference the from a local folder (not the GAC) although the same version is also available from the GAC.

I gather case info from a DB table into a list(of T) list and display it in a checkedlistbox. When an item in the checkedlistbox is selected (highlighted, not checked), the selectedindexchanged event then retrieves account information from the DB for that case and loads the different accounts for that case in another checkedlistbox.
My issue is figuring out the best way to save the different items that are checked in the accounts checked list box. Since the accounts are loaded dynamically given the selected item in the cases listbox, what would be the best way to save which accounts are selected for each case?Below is my current method of loading the listboxes and selectedindexchanged procedure. I'm fairly new to programing and this is how I was taught load most controls, by list after saving to the list from the DB (which gets very complicated when you have to keep relations between items in separate lists).
Private Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click
Dim CasesList As New List(Of String)
CasesList = Db.GetAccounts(CDbl(txtAccountBalance.Text))

I'm writing a forms application. I'm adding a piece that allows you to double click on a row of a datagridview control to open a new form with more details. These additional details are pulled from a database, which takes a bit of time to finish.If I run the DB query from the form's load event, the form doesn't show up until everything in the load event has completed, which can take several seconds.I want the form to show up instantly when you double click, and all of the fields to be populated once the data is ready.Is there an event I should be using other than Load?

As it stands, when I click a button to load the data the application lags and looks as though it has locked up although it has not. There are a lot (10,000) of records to load in some cases.
I thought I could just change my status strip text to dispay "Loading database" while it's loading.
So, I raise an event (dbloading) in the "load db" button.click event before calling the procedure to load the data. When that event is raised, I change the status strip text.... but it does not work.
Here's my

I have three forms: A, B and C. Upon a button being clicked, A displays B. Similarly, B displays C. Both using the ShowDialog() method.
However when I use the Hide() method (inside a Button Click event) on form C to close it, form B also closes. Why would this be? As far as I can see, it shouldn't be doing this. I certainly didn't write any code to tell it to do that.

UPDATE: I am an idiot. DialogResult was set to Cancel on the button as I'd copy+pasted it from the existing Close button and not realised that property was set
