Print Dialog Loses Focus
May 4, 2011
I have a form with a "print" toolstrip button. When I click that button I run the code shown below. The print dialog box appears. The title is dark blue seeming to indicate it has focus. The main form is lighter blue indicating it does not have focus. But hovering over the "Print" button (or the cancel button) does not cause it to change color. If you click on the print button, then the color changes and the second click causes the appropriate action. Same with the cancel button. If you click on the dialog label or on the main form the only thing that happens is the print button will then become "active" and a click there then works. If you click on the main form once, nothing happens, but if you click on it a second time you get the "bonk" sound indicating you ae clicking on the wron modal. As if this isn't strange enough, this action just started recently. I made a few unrelated (as far as I can tell) changes, and discovered this action.[code]....

I have a form which contains a progressbar and a Listbox which update as the code runs through and performs some sometimes time-consuming calculations.
At one point in the code, it breaks to ask the user to enter a number using :
Usedefault = MsgBox("Do you want to use the default value of " & Default_No & "?", vbYesNo)
If Usedefault = vbNo Then
[Code].....
this works fine but I find that once the data entry is complete, and the code continues to run, the form loses focus and the progressbar and the Listbox updates cannot be seen until the code finished its calculations.

I have a listbox on a form and when the user selects a value and the listbox loses focus I want to validate the value the user chose. How do I call my function once the listbox loses focus?
I tried using a custom validator but it gives me an object is missing error.

I'm trying to have a Textfield lose it's leading zeroes when the user leaves the field. I made the following "Leave" event but it's not working. It works for the first half however to set it back to 1 if it's blank or if a user entered 0. I tried following the advice on this answer, but it didn't work:

I have my form set up to be able to be kept on top if the user so chooses. When it is set to be kept on top, I want the opacity to be reduced when the form loses focus. When I set opacity on init, it works fine. When I use this code, it doesn't work:
Private Sub Form1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.LostFocus
Me.Opacity = 0.2
End Sub
[code]....
Maybe I misunderstand how LostFocus and GotFocus work, but according to MSDN this appeared to be what I wanted.

I have a question regarding waiting for closing a window or changing focus back to my app. What i have is an app that creates a few tables, that then puts the tables into a temp file that wordpad opens for the user to check they are correct, this is where i need help, i would like to now wordpad is open wait until the user closes wordpad or changes the focus away from wordpad until i open the next form which is responsible for using the tables and converting them into xml.
Which event should i look at using that fires when a program is exited or gets focus?

Basically on my form I have a listbox containing data. Under the listbox I want to place a button named "btn_PrintData" or something to that effect. The user will click this, the print dialog box would come up and bingo they could print the contents of the listbox.

Whenever you have a messagebox, it grabs attention from your main window and doesn't let you click back into your form until you hit okay.I want to make a form that does kind of the same thing. I have this for that shows download progress and I don't want the user to be able to click back into the main form until the download form is finished.

Most of my experience in Visual Basic programming is in VBA. I'm currently trying to build a VB.NET Windows application that basically consists of a form that has one button and one label. When the button is clicked, the label should serve as a "counter" that counts from 0 to infinity until the user closes the window with the "x" button. I do this by putting a loop with a sleep statement in the onclick sub. The loop iterates the integer that is displayed in the label and does a "Me.Refresh".The problem is when the window loses focus. When it loses focus (when I click off of it), the counter stops. Even when I click back on it, the counter doesn't resume.

I have a borderless form displayed as a progress object. This is displayed via childform.show().
I'm overriding CS_DROPSHADOW to give it the shadow (pictured), when the form loses focus (parent clicked or another formapplication) the shadow is lost.
How can I keep the form focusedselected similar to a modal form? (I cannot use showdialog due this being called from various threads other than UI) Using Me.TopMost = True works, but obviously puts the form above all others rather than just the parent.

I have a class where I would like to call a print dialog sub within the class itself.In my class I have the
'TODO
Private Sub pdPrintTag_PrintPage(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles pdPrintTag.PrintPage

I copied the sub from a form class....which I believe removes the handler, so this does not work for me. How could I get this done?

for my project "Shotty" (a screenshot capture, edit and upload utility)I am searching for a way to print the captured image. I don't want to implemet a complete printer setup printing code, so I thought it should be possible to save the image to %temp% and run the explorer integrated image printing on it.

I have a small project that requires me to have a font dialog, a color dialog and a print dialog. It has four text boxes that are formatted based on the font from the dialog and the color from the other dialog. I am to print it all out with the same font and color. I have easily put the font in the right place and have the rest of the print set up, but the DrawString wants Brushes.<color> for it's color. How do I make it the same color as in the text boxes? I am not trying to get you to do my HW for me, but everything I see online is the brushes or shapes... if you could suggest something to look into that would be great, but I doubt my grade would be much affected by my printing everything with Brushes.Black like everyone else in the world seems to be doing...
