I have a Visual Basic 10 program that one forms call another form.. On the called form I have a checkbox object and a 'Click' event associated with it.
My problem is that when the first form 'calls' the second form the second forms Checkbox's click event is called. it only happens when the form.show is used for the first time.
I fear that there is something obviously wrong with my code, but I have come across a situation where the Form.Load event is not firing when I create and show my form. The form is not subclassed (as I've seen some problems with that in some searches), and I am not getting any errors thrown when I step through the code in the debugger.
I have a break point set on the IDE-created form load function (which does have the Handles MyBase.Load signature suffix) but the breakpoint is never reached and the form does display and work.The form is passed three arguments in the constructor but the IntializeComponent() function is called before anything else is done.

I have created a main form in my program to which I have added a combo box containing 12 months of the year. What I want is when the selected month is changed it should call a subroutine which does a calculation. The procedure works but the combo box acts as if the selected item has been changed as the form is opening which is not what I want as at that time there is no data loaded for the procedure to do it's calculation. So what I want to know is, is there some way to prevent the combo box from behaving this way at start up?

On click of a picture box a new form is displayed centre screen (across the 0's), i also have a leave event that will hide the form once the cusor leaves the picture box. it seems that when the new form is displayed on top of the cusor the leave event is executed and there is a quick flicker of the form. im baffled by this because it works fine for all of the other picture boxes
I am using a timer control to display a message form in my application, but it's not working the way I want it to. Currently, when the timer event fires I create a new instance of my message form & display it. But if the user is away from their desk & doesn't close the message form before the timer fires again, a new instance of the message form is created & shown. So how can I check to see if the message form is currently shown on the screen so multiple ones dont get displayed? This is my timer event:
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Using frm As New MsgForm
[Code]...
Do I need to use the default instance of the message form instead of creating a new one?
I have a VB (.NET3.5) project like this:
- form1: IsMDIForm = true.
- form2: adding a list view with 2 records, select first record, and register the event ItemSelectionChanged.
- Add form2 as a child of form1 (form2.MDIParent = form1).
- When use "form2.Show()" -> the event ItemSelectionChanged firing three time:
+ 1st: SelectedItem = 1
+ 2nd: SelectedItem = 0
+ 3rd: SelectedItem = 1
I want to know the rootcause (not Solution) of thi issue, can anyone help me !?

View 8 RepliesI am using Visual Basic 2010 to develop windows forms and when I use two comboboxes one after the other with the dropdown turned on with the ComboBox_Enter event I lose the displayed value of the first combobox when the second combobox dropdown occures. If I comment out the second combobox ComboBox_Enter event so the dropdown for the second combobox dosen't drop down the display value displays in the first combobox. I have also put an empty text box between the two comboboxes and that also fixes the problem. So how can I use two combobox in sequence with the dropdowns and not lose the display value on the first combobox? My version of Visual Studio is 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel.

I'm sure I'm doing my login process for my app in a not so perfect way, but as with lots of things, it works. The issue is to make it work I have to use the very unpopular DoEvents thing. I would like my application to show a login screen before loading my main form. Currently I have a login dialog box with a FormOpen boolean property and an authenticated boolean property. If a user logs in successfully, I hide the login form, set formopen to false, and authenticated to true. If they cancel out, then I do the same and just set the authenticated property to false. If authenticated=false then I end the app, else I show the main form via application.run(MainForm)

I'm trying to execute different code depending on the button clicked (button 4 or 5) on Form1, but when I click on button5 to activitae the code on the Form2's Load event everything is Ok, but when I click the back button to return to Form 1 and click on the Button4 to activate the code on the Form2's Load event again, it doesn't active the Form's Load event, is there a way to form the form load event every time I access it from Form1? [code]
View 7 RepliesAs you noticed, in the code bellow, the event argument for the form click event has the type "TimedEventArgument".When the event is raised, e.Time holds the time where the form was clicked.Add the missing code in the class Form1 to make this work.You will not change anything to the methods "Form1_Click" or "Form1.Load".You will not use Option Strict On. HOWEVER, you will not do any narrowing or late binding that wouldn't have been allowed if Option Strict was on.You cannot create any new Class, Structure or Module.You cannot cast the EventArgs to TimedEventArg in any way

In a Winform application, I'd like to animate the showing of a form a bit like when an email comes in and the notification window raises slowly from the bottom of the task bar.
I've got a few ideas involving timers and resize but they all seem complicated and/or clumsy so I wonder if anybody could suggest a simple way to do this or some magic function I could use to do it automatically.
