I'm having an interesting issue that I can't reproduce on a different project, but can consistently on this one. I have no clue what might be causing it, but am hoping that someone may have seen it before.
I have a main form, from which I run a series of checks. On this form, I have a listview control. Because of some issues with the refreshing of this listview control, I had to create my own messagebox. It's just a form that displays some text ( it also happens to look nicer than MsgBox; in my opinion, anyways ). It's been working great for months, until recently.
My problem is that on my main form's load event, I run this check, which returns an error within a try/catch block. I then call my custom messagebox with a message. It in turns calls it's ShowDialog() function.
In any other situation ( after the main form has been loaded ), I have no problems. The messagebox goes on the screen and behaves appropriately ( ie: waits for my input and acts as a modal dialog ( stops execution of my main form's thread ) ). However, on this onload event, my messagebox comes up and goes away almost immediately afterwards.
I've traced it all the way to the showdialog() call. For no explicable reason, it appears to skip right over this call, without me doing anything on the form.
Here's what the inner trace looks like ( when I put a breakpoint on the onclosing event for this messagebox form ):

For some reason, a certain Form in my project will change it's size all on it's own right after I call it. It's usually with small forms in the one I'm having a problem with is 95x25 pixels. The only thing on it is a Label with some text in the middle and this code
Public Class MessageForm
Private Time As Integer = 25
Private Sub fadeTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles fadeTimer.Tick
Time -= 1
[Code] .....
As you can see the Form is meant to be a small pop-up that disappears on its own, like a balloon tip. Anyways I just added it to my project 5 minutes ago and as soon as I tested it out by displaying it with Form.Show(), it randomly changed to 123 by something else during runtime. I checked all the Form properties for any kind of resize properties and only found AutoScaleMode which was set on font, but set on None made no difference. Like I said I just added this form and have no code affecting it whatsoever in my entire project except for Form.Show and the code on that form. For the moment I'm just resizing the form on it's own Load event, and that seems to work, but I'd like to know what is causing this random form resize.

I have a Sub Routine in a module to iterate controls on a form. I get an error about an instance of the object not created.I have declared the object and set it to the form (ModelsBox = Me). I have done this between two forms previously. Is there something fundamental that I am missing. Is this where the "Friend Shared" comes into play?

Requested were made by Businese Analyst to set the few Main FORMs VISIBLE PROPERTY TO FALSE when the POPUP FORM is loaded.
[Code].....
When the MAIN FORM loads the POPUP FORM, on the FRMPOPUPCUSTOMER-FORMLOAD even, it has to set the MAIN FORM Visible to False.
When FRMPOPUPCUSTOMER FORM IS UNLOAD it has to set the MAIN FORM Visible = TRUE.
How to the coding is to ensure that different MAIN FORM when loaded FRMPOPUPCUSTOMER it will turn the MAIN FORM Visible to FALSE.

Q1: How can i make it so that my window that i want to show as a drop down does not appear to take the focus off the main form that is calling it?
Q2: The form that is dropping down has the FormBorderStyle Property set to None - thus the window does not have a drop down shadow - how can I make the popup window have a shadow?

I am just wondering the difference between using "As New" and not using it. It looks like the outcome is same to me. Is there any difference between #1 and #2 when I call "frmCR" from other winform?
A form "frmCR" is alreadu created thru design mode.
#1
Dim frmCR As New frmCR
frmCR.Show()
#2
frmCR.Show()

Is it advisable to call a function from another form?Does it have any side effects on the system while running, like more process will consume?I have a function that will set the background in a form, it will make the image stretch, backcolor transparent and will set the picture. If I will use that function in other 15 FORMS I can minimize my code.

Problem:
Form 1 contains a SWF object, which is called FlashGame (it has a movie set, which is a game)
Form 2 contains a button to set a variable on the FLashGame.
Example
Call FlashGame.SetVariable("variable will be here", 1)
That simple coding works when the button to call that SetVariable command is on the same form as the FlashGame, but I need them to be on different forms.

Is there any specific way of calling the form of another application.My main project is a WPF application.From that it is calling another application is Vb.NET.. This is done by creating a process and then calling the exe.
Dim fp1 As New Process()
fp1.StartInfo = New ProcessStartInfo("Location of the exe")
fp1.Start()
Now the problem which I am facing is that from that exe I need to call a specific form in the WPF application.

i am currently trying to re-write an old VB6 program into .net basically the program contains 100's of forms for different jobs each with a Public Sub runjob(). the form names are then stored on a database. the user then selects the job from the listbox and it calls the correct job.the code i use to use in vb6 was
sValue = database.rsselectjobrun.Fields("callname")
Set frmName = Forms.Add(sValue)
frmName.runjob
Set frmName = Nothing i have looked into it and found this code which calls the form in .net
Dim objForm As Form
Dim sValue As String
Dim FullTypeName As String
[code]....
but i cannot get this to run anything other then the formload code. i know i can put all of this into a select case module but id rather not with the amount of forms i would have.

There are 2 forms open for the user in a school attendance program. The 1st. form is called FormBrowseClasses and the other form is called FormBrowseGrades. On the 2nd form is a procedure called PopulateTheDataGridWithData. That procedure loads data into a DataGrid.We would like to call PopulateTheDataGridWithData from within FormBrowseGrades so the data in the DataGrid will be refreshed.
We already tried:
' Refresh DataGrid data on FormBrowseClasses
'-------------------------------------------
objFormBrowseClasses.PopulateTheDataGridWithData()
but this only runs on a new instance of the form, not the currently open form. how to set this up correctly?

Is there anyway I could set an image on a "NEW" child form when calling the following
(MainFrm) = Form1
(ConfigFrm) = form2
Code:
Dim Frm as New ConfigFrm()
ConfigFrm.Img_Artwork.image = Image.fromfile(Img_Location)
Frm.MdiParent = MainFrm
Frm.show
When I call the following, and the "New" child form gets called, The picturebox is left blank. I know it's because I'm calling "NEW" but is there anyway to still add the image to the picturebox even though i call "NEW"

I have an MDI form with 3 nested children with in it. As of right now all it can do is display a new form.For example: each time I press the menu button, the new child form(Form1) is created. Now, if I press that same menu button a second or subsequent time a new Form1 is created and it appears over the previous one.
What I would like is that each time the event handler is triggered (a menu item_click on the parent form) that instead of a completely "new" child form being produced(a new window popping up) it would instead pull up the appropriate child form that is attached to the trigger.

I have an original assignment that works fine, now I need to go back and make it into classes. I am not 100% how to do this. My issues are with calling the classes to be used in the main form, and what to put into the classes.

Given vba's fairly lamentable image manipulation abilities, I'm considering going down the VB.NET form route. My hope would be to allow some degree of interactive manipulation and then either pass the image back to vba or save it and load it in vba.I'm happy to investigate the latter part of it at length under my own steam - however, I'm not versed enough in VB.NET forms to know if calling them from (in this case) Access VBA is a practical or doable - and whether it's possible to pass data back and forth.

I'm writing a program in vb.net 2003 and have come up with a problem.
I have a sub SettingsSave() in a module.
Public Sub SettingsSave()
Dim frmSaveSettings As New frmSettings
MsgBox frmSaveSettings.txtName.Value 'for testing purposes
SaveSetting("MyApp", "configs", "Name",frmSaveSettings.txtName.Value)
SaveSetting("MyApp", "configs", "Pass",frmSaveSettings.txtPass.Value)
End Sub
I have a form frmSettings, which has a button btnSave. When the button is clicked, SettingsSave() is called.The problem is, if btnSave is clicked, then either of the two textbox values are changed, then btnSave is clicked again, the SettingsSave() sub still returns the 'old' values (from the first time the save button was clicked).How do I clear the old values from memory? I've tried adding frmSaveSettings = Nothing, and frmSaveSettings.Close at the end of the sub SettingsSave().
