I have a Main form that lauches sometimes a secondary form with the
frmAlert.Show()

some seconds after, from the Main form I launch the
frmAlert.Close()
but the form don't closes itself!

I have set up a notify icon for my form. I want to make it so that when the user clicks the close button that it doesn't close the form it just takes it to shows the notify icon. They can exit the program from the notify icon. Can someone tell me how to keep it running?

Why won't the button close the form? I'm puzzled, I tried another button just in case with the same result. UPDATE: I set a break point on Me.Close() and it isn't reaching it when I click the button, I created a new button and the same thing happened.
I have a situation where me.close() doesn't close the form. I have a form with a button with the code seen below. What happens when the button is clicked is the new form shows, but the original form(calling form) is still there. When I go into debug mode, I can see the me.close() execute, but nothing happens (calling form stays open). When I close the second form both forms close. If I comment out the call for the second form to open the first form closes without problem.

I'm trying to download a file, which works fine, but the progress-bar is showing me no progress and because of that the form doesn't close. Could anyone tell me what is/could be wrong with my code. The weird thing is that the same code is working in my another app. [Code]
View 3 RepliesIs there a way to have a form within a program that doesn't dispose when you close it? I have a form in my project and a menu item to show it. When I declare the form globally and show in menuItem.click, then the click event breaks because the form no longer exists. When I declare the form within menuItem.click, then this creates a new form every time I click and that's not what I want.
View 1 RepliesI have a main form that has a button with which a smaller form is shown. Think of the smaller form as the Find/Replace dialog in many applications, such as Notepad. It's important that the form is (what I believe is called) modal. What I mean is that it always stays on top of the main form. I ensure that by calling the Show method with "Me" as the owner argument. Whenever the small form loses focus it will not disappear into the background but stay visible (albeit out of focus). If you don't understand open up Notepad and have a look at the behavior of the Find/Replace dialog.
Here's my problem: instead of actually closing the form when the X is pressed, I want it to simply Hide itself, so its position and the state of any controls (checkboxes etc) is preserved automatically.To achieve this I simply cancel the FormClosing event and Hide it:
vb.net
Private Sub Form2_FormClosing(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosing
[code]....
To show the form, I use the following (note the (Me) to make the main form the owner of the form; this ensures that it remains visible even when it is out of focus):
vb.net
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Form2.Show(Me)
End Sub
Now. When I run my project, and open the Form2 (small form), then hide it again (by 'closing' it), I can no longer close the main form (Form1)! It seems the main form cannot close when the small form still exists (albeit invisible)...?? When I don't use the Me argument in the Show method, I don't get the behavior I want. I know I can set the TopMost property to True but that will also cause it to become visible on top of all the other forms, even windows not part of my application.

I am really new to Visual Studio and VB and I am having trouble closing a single form:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.Close()
End Sub
When I use Me.close() associated with this button it closes the entire project and not just the single form can anyone.
When I use
Me.Close()
Form1.Show()
It closes the whole app.
How would I change it so that it only closes the current form while opening a new one? EDIT: I put [Not Resolved] Because I accidently pressed the resolved thing

View 5 RepliesMy Splash screen is acting funny. I may have inadvertently changes some detail somewhere, but I'm not sure where. I have a main form and a splash screen set in the "My Project" screen. When I test the program the splash screen shows up, as does the main form - simultaneously. The main form functions properly, but when I close it the splash screen doesn't close and the application runs forever.
I've tried removing and replacing splash screens to no effect. I've tried using the minimumsplashscreendisplaytime method, but nothing changes. Is there some page of information somewhere, independent of any individual splash screen, that manages all of this?

I am using VB.NET (Visual Studio 2008) and thus .Net framework 3.5. I have developed an application which has a MDI form and then has several other forms, most of which are shown using form.showdialog and some set of forms are shown using form.show. Whenenver a form (shown using form.showdialog) was closed (usually by clicking on a button (OK or Cancel)) I wrote code Me.dispose. After careful testing and R&D I figured this caused flickering on the screen. There use to be a flicker on the screen and it looked weird.

View 3 RepliesBasically my script doesn't properly close Word, and it still remains open. Then when I try to run the script again it says its Read-only as its opened..What I need it to do is - put the TextBox1 info onto the DOC - and print it. I don't want it to save, as it's a template. I've tried saving it somewhere else as a "temp" to get rid of this read only but it still doesn't work.Another issue also is that it's trying to close the document before the printing dialog disappears, so I've had to put a timer

I made a Vista Aero -style form for XP, but when using it, the application won't close. The FormClosed and Disposed events fire, but not the HandleDestroyed event. I tried to get around that by handling the Disposed event and calling Me.DestroyHandle(), and it worked, but not if the user resized the form so that it caused an IndexOutOfRangeException in BlurImage().The code is attached.

This code runs alright because end is being used but if you rem end out the error which it's hiding comes out. The error is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." I'm not totally sure but i'm guessing that the error is refering to the form.

I am trying to close my application and I have coded on the form closing, form closed events to call an exit form which asks the user for confirmation to exit or not. All works fine. When I press the X button on the winform things act different. On the main form where I press the X btn I store some user ID data that I use throughout the app. If I press cancel on the exit form that data is lost from the main form and cannot be used afterwards. So if the user pressed by mistake the X btn and then presses cancel on the exit form the application loses some stored data and many functions stop working.
