View 19 RepliesWait For A 2010 Form's Button-click Event To End?
May 20, 2011In my vb program, I have two forms that work together to allow you to define an almost arbitrary amount of designs. In the first form, there is a two-dimensional array, storing an integer (not important) and an ID class that I defined as a public inner class in another form. Clicking on the "Define ID" button in this form will take you to the next form, where you will define a new ID or edit an old one based off of an index in the array you selected or entered in the first form's combo box, using multiple fields in the second form to define its different aspects.
What I want to happen is the first form's code to be suspended as the user defines the ID in the second form, then they click on the Continue button on the second form. After a bit of error-checking, the form either is momentarily hidden (which is how I originally implemented it) or returns the edited ID object, but only if the error-checking does not indicate any input is incorrect.
Originally, I simply grabbed the ID by using newForm.curID and set that to its spot in the array, waiting for the user to finish by using newForm.showDialog(), but sometimes the program would return a null exception because I don't think I copy the IDs correctly.Also, though the errors show up for a small amount of time, the Continue button saves the ID regardless of its correctness. Is there a way to manipulate the showDialog to get a result response out of it?
Short version: I need to either return an object of an inner class in one form to an array in a calling form or wait for a form to finish and use the calling form to copy its object, then close the callee form.First Form's "Define" button method
Private Sub DesignButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DesignButton.Click

.net Ontextchanged, Wait Until User Is Done Writing

How can I make it only do the query when the user is done writing, or each time the user takes a small break?
Easy Way To Wait For Keypress From User
Jul 30, 2009I want to have a one second pause after some code has run. During that pause, if a certain key is pressed, I want to do some action. Otherwise, I want the code to continue as normal. What would I use to replace the comments in the following code?
myTestCode()
' Wait one second and see if a given key was pressed.
' If specific key is pressed, then show messagebox (or whatever) asking user if we should cancel (whatever)
NextMethodToRun()
Yes, I know there are a number of ways, which is why I am looking for something that is fast and simple to use. I do not want a console window, some other form, etc. to appear. Just want to check if a key was pressed. The key (if pressed) should be pulled off the keyboard buffer.
Forms :: Displaying GIF Image That Says Please Wait
May 4, 2011I have a .net 4 form application. On a button click event, I want to open a form that has a GIF image in a webbrowser control, that says please wait. Then it opens a second form that has a datagridview that is being populated from a SQL query. Then I just hide the wait form. The reason I have resorted to this method is that sometimes it takes a while to display the results from with datagridview depending on what the user selected previously. The issue that I am having is the wait form displays but the GIF does not show up. If I make the application wait by using the following code the GIF show up like it supposed to until the timer runs out. At that point the image stops moving but is still present.
Private Sub wait(ByVal interval As Integer)
Dim sw As New Stopwatch
sw.Start()
Do While sw.ElapsedMilliseconds < interval
' Allows UI to remain responsive
Application.DoEvents()
Loop
sw.Stop()
End Sub
My original intent was to use the show method to display the results form and then hide the previous form, but sometimes the previous form would close before I could display the results form.
Forms :: Getting A Wait Cursor Automatically?
Aug 25, 2009I'm developing a big VB.Net Winforms application. Every now and again, processing or db connections take some time and therefore I'd like a wait cursor (hourglass) to appear sometimes. I know I can do it like in this thread (in case someone needs the code):Hourglass?- technical discussion - developer Fusion - ASP.NET, C# Programming, VB.NET, .NET Framework, Java and Visual Basic Tutorials However, I have LOTS of code and I don't know when the user will need to wait. So, what I'd really want is to tell my ApplicationEvents file or the like to globally intercept after say 0.3 seconds and turn the arrow (default cursor) into the hourglass and at the same time disable mouse clicks and the like.

.NET - Textbox Control - Wait Till User Is Done Typing?
Mar 22, 2009Is there a built in way to know when a user is done typing into a textbox? (Before hitting tab, Or moving the mouse) I have a database query that occurs on the textchanged event and everything works perfectly. However, I noticed that there is a bit of lag of course because if a user is quickly typing into the textbox the program is busy doing a query for each character. So what I was hoping for was a way to see if the user has finished typing. So if they type "a" and stop then an event fires. However, if they type "all the way" the event fires after the y keyup. Like measuring the time since the last textchange event and if it was > than a certain value then it would proceed to run the rest of my procedures.

WebBrowser Control Is In A Wait State : How To Kill The Wait
May 27, 2009While navigating to a series of sites at one site the WebBrowser control's DocumentCompleted EVENT is tripped and no other recorded Browser events occur after that. When this happens the hour glass cursor indicates the browser is waiting. From this point it take 120 to 250 seconds of wall clock time before the browser resumes. I am looking for a way to force an abnormal termination without destroying the control. I have tried "Stop", "nav to about:blank" repeatedly without success. How can I force an abnormal termination when the Cntrl is in a wait state?
Consider the following: The last known Browser event to be tripped is a Document Complete event; nothing else occurs after this. When this transpires the Cntrl is waiting.

[Timer] Trigger Event Manually - User Must Wait For A Minute Before The Event Is Triggered
Feb 12, 2010Eg. ""vb.net" timer event trigger on purpose". This application is meant to run at all times to download a web page every minute. To avoid freezing the UI, I read that the best solution is to move the code from a While/Sleep loop to a Timer that will be triggered every minute. The problem I have, is that the user must wait for a minute before the event is triggered:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Timer1.Interval = 60000
Timer1.Enabled = True
[CODE]...
Is it possible to force this event to occur instead of waiting for it?
