VS 2010 - Hiding / Closing Login Forms?
May 1, 2012I've created a program with a login form. Once you log in, the login form should close and the next form should display... my problem is...
If I use Me.Close()... than both forms close and the application terminates.
If I use Me.Hide()... than the application never unloads from memory and run indefinitely.
So what do I do? Neither of these work how I need them to.
Closing Application Via X Button Without Closing Forms Inside Mdiparent Causes Exception Error
May 3, 2010Form1 is a mdi container. It has a bunch of forms that can load inside of it as mdi children. If I close each open form inside the form1, and then click the red X at the top right, application exits fine.If I click the red X without closing the forms inside I get: An unhandled exception of type 'System.CannotUnloadAppDomainException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Error while unloading appdomain. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131015) However I can break from it. How do I get the application to not show that error? What must I do to fix those inside forms or close when the red x is clicked?
VS 2008 Closing All Forms When Program Closes Vs. Closing All But Main Form
Jun 4, 2010Dim frm As Form
For Each frm In Forms
Set frm = Nothing
Next frm
The above code is what I used in VB6 to close all forms associated with my programs before my program closed. I have been searching for information on how to make sure all forms are closed when closing a VB2008 program.
I have seen info on using the Project Property Shutdown mode When startup form closes and I currently have this set.
Is this all that is really necessary? Will the garbage disposal close everything else to free up RAM?
Also, if I have several forms open and want to close all from the main form without closing each one individually, what is the best approach? Is there a collection like in VB6, go through the collection, compare it to the name of the main form and close it if it is not the main form?
Hiding/unloading Forms In .NET?
Feb 2, 2012Im learning VB.NET and as a first task im creating a login form. ive been trying to link it to another form once a correct username and password are entered. however, despite that i still cant be able to hide it or unload it once the next form is loaded
Here is the Code
Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK.Click
If UsernameTextBox.Text = "chris" And PasswordTextBox.Text = "chrispass" Then
Me.Hide()

The Form2 appears as coded above but the 'Me.Hide()' manages to hide the login form but then it appears again?

VS 2010 Hiding Forms?
Aug 1, 2011It seems like such a simple thing to me, but it seems like the usual, me.hide() isn't working in this case. I have 2 forms that tie together, the login form, and then the main for being form1. The login form has an autologin feature, which works out fine, but with it enabled, the login form doesn't automatically hide like it should.

VS 2010 Hiding/Showing Forms In MDI?
Feb 16, 2012I am using a MDI parent to house each of the forms in my application. I have a main form and 2 sub forms. The sub forms are opened using the code below. Also, when I am finished entering info into these forms, i am hiding them so that I can reopen them with the same info still entered.
The problem is that when i show the form again, it is blank. Why would this be the case? I am never closing or disposing the form, so shouldn't it just unhide easily?Showing the sub-form(savingsfrm1) and and hiding the main form(riskfrm1)Public savingsfrm1 As Savings

Forms :: Multiple Forms, Closing Events And Sub Routines?
May 25, 2010I have googled high and low to find an answer to this but I must be searching wrong.I have an application which has a listview displaying some items that are stored in a SQL Compact database. I am using a second form to add new items to this list directly into the database.When the second form closes I want to call the sub in my first form to refresh the list from the database.
How can I get it to fire the form1 sub routine on the close event of form2
Forms :: DataGridView Display - Hiding And Showing
Mar 31, 2009I have a form e.g. Form1 , which displays a datagridview.
1) On form load, the datagridview doesn't have any data
2) The user clicks on a button called filter, this opens a form where the user can specify parameters to filter the data by
3) This form calls a setData() in Form1, which fills the dataset with the data
This works fine. If I click on a button called controlPanel it launches another form and hides this. E.g.
dim cp as new ControlPanel()
this.hide()
cp.show()
On the controlpanel I have a button that links to form1. If I click on it. E.g.
dim frm as new Form1()
this.hide()
frm.show()
It redisplays Form1 but without any data in the datagridview.
I think the problem is that since I am creating a new instance for Form1 it comes up with the blank Form1. Is there a way to redisplay Form1 so that it retains the data that was displayed last, without having to retrieve the data from the database.
Way Of Hiding Forms And Classes From Main Project
Aug 31, 2009the client has asked for all forms and classes to be hidden from the main project, so when he sells it, they will only be able to see part of the project and not all the classes and forms.My Solution: I have created another project called project2, and added all the forms and classes from main project, fixed all errors and compiled it.I deleted all the forms from the main project and added a reference so that it gets all the forms from the other project by referencing the dll file, but it does not seem to work and get a lot of errors.is there an easier way of hiding the forms and classes from the main project or do I need to do more then just add the reference.

View 5 RepliesForms Not Closing When They Should
Apr 20, 2010i have a problem with trying to get 2 forms to close at different times using a timer on each of the 2 forms.This is my form layout:frmMainFrm1 Frm2..Frm1 and Frm2 are identical to each other. FrmMain has 2 buttons on it. One button to call Frm1 and the other to call Frm2.Frm1 and Frm2 each has a timer. It counts down to 0 and then does a .close(). However, if i pause between clicking the second button they both seem to always disappears at the same time.then they both disappear at the same time.... which shouldn't happen since i clicked the Frm2 box 10 seconds AFTER Frm1... So Frm1 should hide before Frm2 does...but it does not.

Closing Unactive Forms?
Sep 13, 2008, When you hit esc a 2nd form comes up on top of the first. On the second form you are able to close the first or/and reload the first with different info. My problem is whenever i try and reload the 1st frm it doesn't close it just opens it again. So if i do it seven times i have seven windows of the first frm open... my codes is something likes this
Dim frm1 as new form1
frm1.close()
From what i was thinking it has to do with the "New" Part in the dim statement....

Forms Retaining Values After Closing
Jan 4, 2011Throughout our program, forms are opened like this[code]...
The problem is that when forms are closed, they seem to not really be closed, only hidden - if I add some text to a textbox and close/reopen the form, the text is still there, rather than the textbox being cleared like normal. This is presumably because the form always uses the same instance.
Is there any easy way to fix this other than going through the entire program and creating a new form instance for every ShowDialog() call (there are hundreds)?

View 10 RepliesCannot Display New Information In DataGridView Without Closing One Of Forms
May 3, 2009I am currently working on a school database that I am having troubles with. I have the Table Adapters, Binding Source, and DataGridView all working, along with the Insert, Update and Delete Commands. I have the user open up the SubjectForm. On this form the user is looking at a DataGridView of the subjects table and everything that is in it. When the user clicks add new on the right side, it opens up a new form called AddNewSubject. When the user gets done adding the new subject in, a dialog box appears and says that the subject was added successfully. After the user clicks exit, it takes them right back to the SubjectForm where the DataGridView is. My question is, how do I update the data in that grid so that after the user clicks exit on the AddSubject Form, the new data will appear in the grid? I have tried a combination of things and they haven't worked. I will add my code at the bottom.[code]....
