Show New Form And Lock Other One?
Jul 24, 2009
I have my main form then a progress bar form that is shown when the program is running. I simply want to keep the progress bar form on top of the other form and make the other form so it can't be changed.
I've tried form2.showdialog, but that stops the code in the main form from running so it's no good.
form2.show(me) just keeps form2 ontop of form1
me.topmost in form2 does the same as the last thing
setting the form1.enabled = false isn't something I want to do since you can't even move the form when it's like that
So really I'm at a complete loss here
also how can I get the progress to start in the center of form1? There is a setting in the form properties but is doesn't seem to work.

I am listing folders and folder sizes in a ListView for a VB.NET WinForm program I'm writing. I would like to total the folder sizes in the last entry of the ListView and 'lock' it show it always shows (even if scrolling through the list. Is there a way to do this? I'd really like to avoid adding another control on the Windows Form to display the total.
EDIT:Space is somewhat of an issue as I'm trying to keep this window small enough to work in a min screen resolution of 800x600 (I know, not the standard, but I want to make this available to even those in the elderly community with problematic eyesight.

I want to lock my form to be full screen, and not allow the user to move it. For the form, I set
[Code]...
The form is full screen, but I can shift the location. I do have a dual screen system. The application goes full screen on the left most screen. This does this inside the development environment and using the EXE. What am I missing? I thought Locked is suppose to prevent the form from moving.

I have a Dialog which I'm calling via Loading.Show()Can I lock the position and location to the parent form? In such a way so if the parent is minimised or moved, the child will stay centred to the parent?
I was using ShowDialog() but this obviously stops the parent from being accessible. This is being used to display a progress gif. (Child is 50% opacity)

I have a program that uses two forms. The program opens to the Main form, and the user can navigate to the other form from the Main form through use of a button. Here's the way I've currently written it: When the Main form loads, it declares and instantiates the other form during the load procedure. When the user presses a button, the second form is displayed by means of the ShowDialog method. On the second form, there is a Return to Main Screen button which closes the second form, bringing the user back to the Main form.
So, here's the structure of the code:
Code:
Public Class frmMainForm
Dim frmSecondForm As New SecondForm
Private Sub btnSecondForm_Click(blah, blah, blah) Handles blah, blah, blah
[CODE]...
Here's my reasoning: Originally, I wrote the code so that a new instance of the second form was created every time the button was pressed. The problem was that whatever data was displayed on the second form, previously, was lost when the user returned to it a second time. Since the user would be switching back and forth between these forms, frequently, I needed that data to persist.
What is the best practice for accomplishing this:
1) Declare and instantiate the second form on program start, as I have done, and use the button simply to show the form?
2) Declare and instantiate the second form each time the button is pressed but maintain the variables on the Main form and pass them ByRef to a custom constructor for the second form? Is this even possible?
3) Something else?

I am trying to use a progressbar to show on main form and then finish when next form is loaded, I have got this code.
1. When I click on button, it must open next form, but the next form must only open when the data in my list box has been loaded from Access Databse. When I run my program, it only shows the progressbar and don't open the next form.
Main form code:
Public Class Main
Dim PB As ProgressBar
Private Sub main_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub

Using the code below:
Private Sub ShowDropDown()
Using f As New DropDownForm
f.Visible = True
Do While f.Visible
Application.DoEvents()
[Code]...
This was a guess, after looking at the Form.ShowDialog method in reflector.My question is, is there a managed call I can make to acheive the same result, and what does a button click do that other clicks don't?
ETA: The problem does not occur if I open the form using a key.

This is a database app where I am trying to check for possible duplicates and give the user the option to keep the new record or assign to an existing record.In form1 the user will enter data into a textbox. I use this information to build a bindingsource.filter. Then I call another form (form2.show()) to display results to user and get user response. This part all works correctly.
The problem is that as soon as form2.show() executes, I loose the contents of the textbox - and it appears that I am no longer in the bindingsource.addnew() method.

I have a series of methods being called for my networking code. An event gets fired from the networking thread. Inside this event, which I've hooked into from a singleton class, I route messages to form level methods which they register on form load to handle certain messages they care about. Inside of these form message hooks I need to close the current form (which I was able to do) but also show a different one (which is giving me the trouble).
