Stop Multiple Dialog Boxes Displaying?
Jul 14, 2010
I have a very annoying problem and I'm trying to find the simplest solution possible, but I seem to keep complicating it.
My program displays a custom dialog box using the ShowDialog function (I create this form using a New constructor), but while my program waits for input in the dialogbox, my program continues to run other code, (I'm assuming initiated from other messages, but I still can't find good information on this, so as an aside to this topic does anyone have a reference about this), and arrives at this same point where the dialog box is to be displayed and displays it. So I end up getting a flood of dialog boxes.
My goal is prevent this excessive amount of dialog boxes. If the program arrives at this dialog initiation point I would like it to wait/pause until the first dialog box is finished.

Alright, so I'm still working on the slot machine. I have three timers all independently going for my three "wheels" of the slot machine.
My issue, is that I'm trying to make a Stop button to stop each timer one at a time, and I'm not understanding why this code isn't working. The logic completely makes sense, and the first "wheel" stops when I click the button, however, it doesnt appear to stop the other two timers.

I am working on an application in VB 2008, converted from VB6, currently running in Win XP. This app processes data from several orbits of satellite telemetry and outputs to the printer a calculation result for each orbit of data. In VB 2008 there is a small dialog that pops up for each page that is printed.It is kind of annoying, continually covers up the program progress bar and, I think, generally slows things down.Is there some way to turn this off in program code when the printer is called?

I am writing a program for FEMAP API interface in VB 2008 Express. Some API commands open user dialog boxes which requires yes or OKcancel inputs. So much for automation "Sendkeys" do not work, because code execution stalls at the line which opens the dialog boxes. I need stg that runs in parallel, watches for these dialog boxes, and sends the right keystroke at the right time.

I am currently developing a WPF application that will utilize existing WinForm dialogs. I'm experiencing a long lag between the time I call ShowDialog() on a WinForm to the time it is displayed.Even when reusing WinForm dialog objects the lag time is nearly as bad on the second hit. Meaning that the problem isn't in the constructor. have a work around to increase speed or know why the speed is so slow?

I'm programming a mass emailer for my newsletter using Outlook.Everything is working great except for two security dialog boxes...The first is how long I should give my application and the second is "if I should let my program send out the email".I do really understand this is perfect security but I need to have Outlook trust my application.These newsletters are going to 1000 people and this would be really tedious if I had to click each dialog box.

I'm using a DLL in my program that is free to use in non commercial environments and it generates a dialog box every time I debug my program to remind you that it's not free for commercial use etc.. At first I couldn't care less about the popup dialog box but when your programming all day it gets really annoying. is there a way to suppress those popup dialog boxes or do I just need to go to my happy place and ignore them when they pop up?

I'm rather new to programming in general, but I have written a rather useful program for the company I work for. What I am trying to do is control the way a dialog box is displayed. I want a dialog box to pop up at certain times like 7:00 PM, 8:00 PM, etc.

I want the web browser to run much quicker: To acheive this I would like to disable the vb webbrowser from displaying pictures. I could not find a property to do this, within the vb browser settings + I would rather not have to fiddle with computer's registry files.

How do I get at and invoke the properties dialog supplied by the manufactured? I have search this many times and found that most of the posts contain solutions that the original poster claims don't work The standard PrintProperties class does not handle a lot of printers who have specifictsks, eg a printer designed to pint on the face odf CD/DVD. I have found examples of how do this in VB6, but every examply I find for the versions of VB Basic after thet have comments that the solution provided did not persist the user chnges. Bow, come on, there has to be a way of displaying and persisting the user choises the dialog bog provided by the printer manufacturer!Terry

I am attempting to fill a form with multiple rows from an access table based off of a parameterized query. My query works fine but I don't want to return one row at a time, I want to return all rows that match my query in multiple text boxes. I know that I can use a datagrid view to accomplish this, but I would prefer the look of a textboxes on a form. I have read through many books and searched the internet forums but think I may just not know what to search for as nothing has worked yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction. So far I have tried setting the text box value to the row().item(), creating a different dataset for each row, and even setting variables for the results of the query to then be passed to the text boxes. Since none of this work, I don't really have any starting code to post. If I could just get a starting point I could work from there, so don't feel the need to code anything for me, just set me in the right direction.

I know this topic is all over the web, but I seem to have a combination of issues that is either not addressed or I can't figure out that they are addressed. Here is what I am doing. I am using Webbrowser to log into a a website and navigate to a specific page, enter some query criteria and click a "search" button. This button produces a table of files that fit the criteria. I then go through the table,navigating to the file names and compare against my database to see if I want to download. This all works well.
The issue: there is no URL behind these file names. It is a JavaScript. I am able to call the file with invokemember("click") but I get the pesky dialog box or Open or Save. Then I get the directory dialog box.
I have tried sendkeys, trie to capture the Webbrowser_downloadFile event, tried ObjectForScripting(not sure I did that correctly), all to no avail. I have tried to use WebClient, but since I do not have and actual URL for the file, I did not expect it to work. I can navigate to the href attribute, but not sure how to use it.

A simple database has been created in Access, which is just basically a table of text, with some images as entries. A form has been created in VB2008 Express and linked to the database. Either a combibox, text boxes or pictureboxes are linked to a column form the database. The first row entries are all displayed correctly in the relavant boxes (except for the images, which for some reason aren't displayed). If another value in the comibox is selected, the other box values don't change and there is still no images visible...

This code will show you how I started multiple threads:
For i As Integer = 0 To 10
Dim MyThread As New System.Threading.Thread(New System.Threading.ThreadStart(AddressOf MySub))
MyThread.Start()

Now I'm trying to stop the threads before closing my application but I don't know how to do that?

Whenever I modify a file in the IDE in Visual Basic Express 2008, and then press the "Save" or "Save All" button, the "Save As" dialog opens, then says that a file of that name already exists and requests confirmation of the save. This didn't happen in Express 2005 as far as I remember.

I'm trying to place both three buttons one above the other, and three text boxes one above the other, and for some unknown reason, they will not show up at runtime. when I look at the properties of any of the text boxes, or the buttons, there is a property that sort of makes me wonder if it isn't the culprit, but it will not let me change it, the property states "array[]string" [Code]

I have a school project where i have a form that works as a class registration. There is cboGradeLevel and cboCourse and cboNumber. If cboGrade level is freshman i only want the numbers that start with 1 in cboName to be displayed, sophomore =2, junior =3, senior =3. Then i want cboCourse to work the same for the second number in cboNumber. english=1, history=2, math=3, science=4. So if freshman and history were selected i only want the numbers that start with 12- to be displayed. What can I use to make this happen?

Is there a way to specify what forms are Locked when opening a Modal Dialog? I want to have a specific form available even if a Modal dialog is opened. The form in question is a child form (Accessible from the Windows application bar), that is created from the main application form. The Modal Dialog should only lock the main application form, and not the secondary window. Is it possible to make a secondary form independent from the main application form?

I've been writing a weight program for flooded pressure vessels and I'm having trouble retrieving the data from the text files I've been saving. I know how to write the data to the text file, but retrieving it with OpenFileDialog is not so easy for me.The user has individual text boxes that they input strings or numbers into and when they save the file, each text box input is written to one line in the text file. For example, the first text box is for the username, therefore the first line of text that is saved is the person's name, the second text box is the customer, thus the second line in the text file is the customer name, and so on.
(Actually, the first line of text in the saved file designates whether English units were used or Metric units because when the user retrieves the saved file, English units will open one form and Metric units will open a separate form, so some If...Then statement will need to occur).I need to be able to read the first line, have either my "EnglishForm"form open or my "MetricForm" form open, and then have each subsequent line of text be displayed in their corresponding text boxes. I know I need to use ReadLine or LineInput, but I don't have a clue what to do.Assuming the syntax I've displayed below would just magically work (if only life were that easy), it would look something like this
If FirstLineOfTextInFile = "English" Then
EnglishForm.Show()
ElseIf FirstLineOfTextInFile = "Metric" Then[code]....
And so on...I read a lot of articles from the MSDN library and exhausted each link that I've looked through from Google and Bing, but most only retrieve data from the file to a single text box through some loop or streamreader and don't take into account multiple forms.
