How I can use a messagebox to show for a specific amount of time only? So if I place this in maintimer, MessageBox will show and will auto close and I set how long it must display for. If messagebox is up, then Timer is paused. I did research around these lines but couldn't find what I'm looking for.
View 1 RepliesBasically i'm trying making a task manager program for myself. I want to know how I can display a message box and or play a sound when system time = time displayed in listview. I have used a dropdown box for the user to select which option they would like to select - sound or message box to popup. The data for the task will be stored in a listview box. I want it so that when the date and the time is = to the date and time set for the reminder the action will follow.Here is my code so far:
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim notext As String = ""
If TextBox1.Text = notext Then[code]....
How can I use MessageBox.Show("test") and have it appear at a specific location on the screen. By default, the message box is shown centered on the screen.

View 1 RepliesI have a program that allows a user to select a program to run at a certain time for a specific amount of time all choosen by the user. Everything works with the exception of if my program has launched the other program, my program become non-responsive. Meaning I am not able to look at that window again. Not that one really needs too, because when time is up my program closes the program it opened, then closes itself. I just want to be able to see my program when the other program is running. how to do this and perhaps drop me some links, that would be wonderful. This is what I have coded, but like I stated there are no code errors.

Trying to create a form where user enters a lower bound, upper bound, and an amount of random numbers to generate (that are between the lower and upper)

I have another probably easy question to answer but i can't figure it out... I have made a little snake game with a score attached to it running through a timer that outputs to a label.
View 2 Repliesshowing MessageBox's from background workers.My program is a utility that has several functions and each function is boxed in a UserControl and then placed on a TabControl on the main form. A few of the utilities are batch functions that take quite a bit of time to complete their task. In order to allow the user to use the other utilities while a batch utility is running I make use of the BackgroundWorker class. It's quite handy!
My only problem is when I need the user to interact with the background thread, usually due to an error condition. I want to be able to halt the thread and display a MessageBox to the user. At first when you just do it from the background thread as demenstrated in the code below, it appears to work fine. But the MessageBox is not actually parented by the Form. If you select the Form, it will hide the MessageBox and the user thinks that the program has stalled. What's worse is that my program has a setting to allow the user to make the window TopMost, which means that the form will always hide the MessageBox when TopMost.
Option Strict Off
Public Class Form1
Private Sub chkTopMost_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles chkTopMost.CheckedChanged
Me.TopMost = chkTopMost.Checked
[code]....
I have thought about passing the message using ReportProgress(), but the problem with this is that the BackgroundWorker will not halt it's opperation, and there is no built in mechanisim to send a message back to the BackgroundWorker.

My probelm, sometimes messagebox.show method don't show messagebox on screen. It will appear in task bar but we have to click it to show it on screen (looks like it is hanged but messagebox is already there in taskbar so click it to show message "success" then click ok to close the messagebox). then only we can click "ok" to close it. without clicking it my "in progress" window won't close. sometimes messagebox will appear with no problem.
I have a service that produces .txt files to a folder every 30 seconds. Is there anyway to delete files that are older than x amount of days?
View 2 RepliesI am currently taking a introductory level class to vb.net. For the assignment it asks to create two functions. One function should create a random number within a given range. I have completed that part. What I am having trouble with is the second function. It wants the next function to use the previous function three times so that it displays 3 separate random numbers within a given range and display it in a D2 string format.

View 5 RepliesIs there any difference between the two:
msgbox()
messagebox.show()
Some tutorials use msgbox() some use the other messagebox.show()---I see that both can have an editable style but I was wondering why there are two.
Is it to accommodate for older programmers (who have learnt on an older version of visual basic).
So in that case which one should I use on VB 2010 (VS 2010)
