View 13 RepliesI have a WinForm that is used as a Dialog with just OK and Cancel buttons. So:[code]I have an If/Then to see if the user pressed OK. If they pressed OK and there is a validation error, I need them to go back to the dialog and fix it.[code]What would I put in Case Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel to take me right back to the first dialog as sr.DialogResult = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.None doesn't seem to be working?I've tried raising the event sub again (it's a click from a menu item), but this doesn't work with the technology I'm using (VSTO Ribbon).
View 4 RepliesHow can i catch the return of say an OpenDialog/Save Dialog/Color dialog?
For example i want to know if the OK or Cancel button was pressed and use a goto statement that jumps to a section of code that exits the sub to avoid an error (especially in the case of pressing cancel when using an open dialog).
I'm creating an stock management application. At times I want to be able to search for a customer, location, or institution. I know how to do all of this, but what I really nee dot figure out is:How do I create/design a function that calls a form and has the user query information and then return that query's data, preferable datatable.Now, I've created the form that does all this and I have the dataTable but now I want to have a function that can call this "query form" and return that data.I was thinking I have to do something with multi-threading but maybe I'm just looking over something obvious. The best analogy of what I want to do is to create a custom dialog box, but obviously instead of returning a simple integer I'd be returning a dataTable.
View 5 RepliesI am writing a program and I need a way for the user to input information into a pop up screen, i.e. may be up to 10 settings for the program. I have looked at using a parent and child form but it seems somewhat difficult to pass data between forms. I have also looked at custom dialog boxes but it seems like there would be an easier way? Is there a way that a form or similar box could pop up when a button on form1 was pressed and then the user could make the needed selections and then click ok on form 2. This would then save the selections to some global variable that could be accessed by form1 after form 2 has been closed?

View 2 RepliesI'm having a bit of trouble with my project here... and Google isn't helping very much. To put it briefly, I'm currently making a sticky note program (one fairly similar to Sticky Notes, for those of you familiar with Windows Vista or 7). It's relatively simple, as the "note" itself is basically a glorified Rich Text Box.
My problem is this: I obviously want to allow some for some customization with the font, however I don't want to use a standard full-on Dialog Box. So I designed a small form with 2 Combo Boxes--one for font and the other for size--and 2 buttons, "OK" and "Cancel". What I'm attempting to do is program this form (named dlgFont) to more or less be recognized as a Font Dialog Box. I've got some of it figured out I think, but I can't seem to put the pieces together in a way that actually works.In the code for my main form, I have this within the Class... stuff:
Friend WithEvents dlgFont As System.Windows.Forms.FontDialog
As for the Command Button that pulls up the dialog box itself, well, it's actually a Context Menu Strip Item... I'm not really sure what to put. So far I've only tried this:
dlgFont.ShowDialog
And for the Apply event, I've got the generic stuff:
Private Sub dlgFont_Apply(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles dlgFont.Apply
If dlgFont.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Me.Font = dlgFont.Font
End If
End Sub
That's all I have for the main form. This is what dlgFont looks like: 'A limited-ability font dialog box.
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Friend Class dlgFont

Lets say i'm making a new dialog. I don't want to expose the properties of the form to code elsewhere, only specific ones I define. I tried making the form Protected (including the Designer generated code) and putting it in another class, but then I can't figure out how to access the form from my code. Am I going about this completely the wrong way, or what?

I'm trying to show my own dialog (windows form) from a windows service, unfortunatly this is not possible unless I can somehow make it work like a MessageBox and pass it the MessageBoxOptions.ServiceNotification.
Using the standard MessageBox won't work as I actually don't expect it to be seen by users most of the times and therefore was wanting to use my own form that has a countdown timer to close itself if no user interaction occurs within a given timeframe.The Form.Show doesn't take the MessageBoxOptions, but is there a way to make it accept these?
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
View 3 RepliesIt's been a while since I last posted something, but this attracted my attention. Since many of my programs share the same type of code, I decided to dump it all in a class library for other programs to use.
Now I have a problem, Windows Forms in a class library can't be displayed. There is no "Show(Dialog)" command, only some for event handling. All properties are gone as well. The only way I managed to display a form is by making it as a new variable: 'Dim f as windows.forms.form
But this won't work because of the enormous amount of handlers added to the original.

View 3 RepliesI'm making a class that reads a file and processes data in it, but I need some error handling. I'm giving it a constructor that takes a file location and processes that file. How can I make it so the constructor tells the program whether it found the file or not? Optimistically the program that calls this class would check for that first, but since I'm not going to be the only one that uses this class I'd like to know how to secure such a thing. It's probably bad practice to do this within the class, but I'd like to be sure it's as portable as possible.

So I have an application that uses a webservice, On the UI side the user picks a table which sends a request across the web to my webservice to return the fields of this table. So after this request is accomplished I have, on the webservice side a series of Name,Type Pairs that I need to serialize and send back to my client. I could use a List(of String()) to send the values back but I want to use a List(of Custom_Class) instead because later I have to do this on a much larger scale and I want to learn on this simpler version.

I'm learning .NET and I've got a question about user controls. I'm using VS 2010.. I've created an user control, which contains a textbox (code), a button and a label. When you fill in the textbox, the system searches of the codes exists, if so, the description is showed in the label, else it's cleared. When you click the button, a form opens with a datagrid where you can select a code. When you select a code in the datagrid, the code textbox should be filled in with the selected code. How do you return the selected value to the custom control? I've created a public property in the custom control, but i can't access it.

How can i use the color dialogue to return the color selected as a string? So if i was to select red i would like the return to be "Red" and so on so fourth.Another thing i would like to ask is if it is possible to return the color selected as a string in hex color code form (like what is used in HTML for example #FFFFFF, #000000 and so on so fourth).I have a feeling though that it can only be returned as R G B integers but maybe there is a way of converting these to hex color codes?
