I want to enable application framework using Form2 as the startup form. The Startup form: combo box lists Form2 when enable application framework is unchecked, but when checked, I get the message that the startup object must be a form, the project then compiles and shows another form as startup. Declarations for Form2 are as follows:

The following code does create a form within a form and does place NotePad inside the child form. You have to manually start NotePad prior to execution (I work on that later) but the code does workŠ My problem is now I want to manipulate the properties of notepad i.e. focus, size, location, etc. but I cannot figure out how to reference notepad and its properties.

I have a small app with one form (form1) which is supposed to be hidden until a hot key combo is pressed. I have read and taken sample code from: [URL]. I do have a keyboard class that hooks keyboard input, (I have my reasons) but it's odd that it will recognise the first hotkey and fire the event, but none after that? The problem is, I can make the form show, but not hide again. It will only recognise one shortcut, one time. How do I make it respond to another hotkey combo? Is the handle changing? Even with focus, the enabled form is not hiding again.

So I was wondering if anyone has done their own Forms (inheriting windows form and editing the properties) and if so, what your finished result was. And, if you are willing to post a screenshot of your finished result, that would be sweet! Trying to get some ideas of what can be accomplished with customizing the default form.

View 1 RepliesI have a master page which contains everything that inherits it within a form. A page inheriting from it needs to run some javascript to act on a text field on a page. However, I can't seem to reference that text field through the javascript, since the form begins on the master page. The following line will come up bogus: document.form1.txtFindUser.value = blah.responseText; This is because form1 is defined on the master page, while txtFindUser is on the current page.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to figure out how to set the form's location/size before calling the .show method. I figured out the location part, but still can't figure out the size part. No matter what size I set the form to in the designer, it never uses that, so I figured I would set it with code right after setting the location.
'set location before .show
Form2.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual
Form2.Location = New Point(103, 449)

I have multilingual application that was done in VB2005.We recently had a request to translate the application to Arabic (Egypt), so I have been happily running through all of the forms and changing the layout for Right to Left format.I have 2 forms that are problematic though.On one form, whenever I select Arabic (Egypt), it will automatically switch the selection to Arabic (Saudi Arabia) and try to add an ar-SA resx file.On the other problematic form, if I choose Arabic (Egypt), the IDE will automatically select Chinese (People's Republic of China), then copy the contents of my ar-EG resx file into the zh-CN file, overwriting all of our Chinese translations and layout changes with the Arabic ones.
View 1 RepliesI have a form with a Tab Control that has 18 pages. When I click on a tab it opens the page and select a textbox on that page (txtTextbox1. Select() ). This works for the first 8 pages but not for the remaining 10 pages. Although on these pages I can mouse click on the textbox, enter info, save then click my Add button that clears the textboxes and has the code (txtTextbox1. Select() ). The textbox is selected just fine. The code for all my pages is the same except for the tab name and the control names. The tab key will move the selection to the next textbox in order on all pages and the Enter key is coded to do the same. The first 8 pages have a total of 256 labels, buttons, list boxes, textboxes and checkboxes on them.

View 13 RepliesAlright, I have a vb6 LEGACY application and new Functionality (Form) written in c#. I have a VB.NET COM Class as a wrapper. I can launch the .NET Form just fine. THe problem I am having is closing the .net form from vb6.
Example:
In VB6, I have something like this:
CODE:
But it does not work becuase frmViewer is Nothing for some reason. how I should close the .NET form that was launched from VB6?
I have to write an application that consists of mainly one main form, but several different things I wanna display. Pretty standard I guess. So there is a menu, some controls, and the main stuff below (ranging form graphs, tables, dropdown boxes, print preview, etc). I would like to use it like one would use frames in html, design an object that is limited to a box or panel that I define. The literature I have does not give me a clear idea of how to do this (yet). The most obvious seem to be the use of MDI, open a predefined form with no borders, maximize it before showing and remove all minimize/maximize options. But that does not work so well. The form inside the MDI parent does not fit the size that is given for it when it is loaded. e.g.
[CODE]:......................
So my main question is: Is MDI the way to go here at all or are there better/easyer ways to achieve this? If MDI is the way to go, how do I sucessfully restrict a child form inside another object, without giving the user any opportunity to resize (i noticed that I have minnimize/maximize/close buttons, even if I disable them on the child forms themselves)
I try to minimize my form to system tray but when I do, the form disappears and the notification icon doesnt work [code]...

I'm new in development in vb.net IDE, and I need your advises on how to create multi form in one screen like a project properties screen in VB2008 IDE, thus when you you go to Menu Project -> Project Properties... you can see that screen is divided into two panes the left one for options to choose and the right one for configuration and preferences.I need to know how to achive this and how to create similar to that thus if you choose any button from left the form content changes at right (ok is this single form and all controls were set to invisible /visible or is it muliform programming. how can I change the Left pane with Treeview control and choose my option from there.
View 10 Repliesis it possible to customize the properties of a form? for instance, i would like to start a new project, and have my form load center screen, not windows default location from the startup location, among many other options.if this is a possibility, from within vb.net, which i was not able to find and customize, do advise on how to do so.if i have to hack vb.net, i would not know where to start to do so, but how would i begin? what file do i need to modify in the program files folder of vb.net? this, by any means, i would not find it as a hack to destroy someone's work, but to better the software for the user.if a moderator reads this post , do consider my concern for customizing vb.net as vb.net customizes for the users..what i mean, is that, if this option is not available, mods, look into providing an update for vb.net to allow the customizing of the properties for forms/toolbox items and do reply to this thread w/a link.
unless vb 2o10 provides this option, which i doubt, and if it does and there are skins for vb.net 2o1o to change the tab look to the 2oo8 vb.net look, do not advise to look toward the 2o1o version.. personally, the 2o1o tabs are ridiculous, the font in the code window could have been the same as vb.net 2oo8 also.
I'm trying to write a routine which will produce a list of the values of some of the properties for every control that I've placed on a form. I can do this manually by looking up the names of each of the controls, but I'd rather use a construct like this -for each formname as string in xxxx
for each ctrlname as string in yyyy(formname)
....

However, I'm having problems with the various examples of this code that I found in the library. I'm not sure whether it's because I don't know how to set up the syntax correctly or this sort of construct isn't possible in this context.
