I added this code to be able to use some controls from another form, but since i added it, i can't choose that form as startup form. If i remove the code, i can choose it, if i add it again,i can not. So what can i do?
Private pluginmanager As Pluginmanager
Public Sub New(ByVal CsPluginmanager As Form)
InitializeComponent()
[code].....
make my application choose which form to startup using an IF statement. Where can I type my IF statement to make it work that way? Please explain in very simple terms.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make a program that will open a first-run form when the program is run for the first time. I'm planning on just using a setting in My.Settings.VariableName to keep track of the boolean value. My problem is that I cannot figure out how to choose what Form to open.
My first instict would be to use a Sub Main() as my program instance, and then choose and open forms from there, but I can't find a way of doing it. and Many a post suggest not doing it.
Second I tried using ApplicationEvents Myapplication_Startup, but this makes the form pop up before my splash screen, and doesn't stop my main form from showing.
i deleted my previous start up form to be replaced by another one but each time i launch the application,the deleted start up form is still displayed.i dont know from where this deleted start up form is being loaded.
View 3 RepliesI am using vb.net 2008 i have been using a mdi form which is the startup form for my prog. and i have a main menu on that form. now i would like to shift to tree view as my client has asked for it. whenever a node is selected i can select the form corresponding for that particular code. everything is fine till here. but when the form is loaded the tree view is coming on top of the form the tree view is docked in a pannel. now i have tried everything treemenu.sendtoback and the say the form to b called is taxtypemaster then taxtypemaster.bringtofront but still the tree view is coming over the form
I have tried the following :
Dim mMenuSelected As String = e.Node.Name
Select Case e.Node.Name
[CODE]...
Even the visible doesnt work as it seems after the .show it makes the tree view visible again. how do i hide the treeview pls. someone guide me at the earliest. i feel it is not the prob. of treeview but something to do with the mdi form am i right ?
I can hide my startup form (or make it appear hidden) on startup. I can start my app on windows startup--through registry values--if the user checks a checkbox.
But if the app starts up on windows startup, I want the form to be hidden, so the program can just keep working without bothering anyone. If it starts up because the user started it, I want the form to be showing, because the user probably wants to change some settings or something.

View 2 RepliesIs the StartUp form of a program saved in a variable (i.e. from the name space My) ? I guess I can catch it during startup by using an Object Type variable during Load time , but I wonder if it is already defined anywhere else .

I've written a program that brings up a form with some radio buttons for the user to choose.The form is setup by a sub in module1 (called Type2Q, shown below). For some reason, often radiobutton1 is checked when the question appears.I specifically set checked to false since I did not want this to happen. [code]

View 3 RepliesVB2008 application.
Using a splashscreen.
When the spashscreen is done, the main menu for the program appears.
The problem is that the main menu appears UNDER things already open on the desktop.
Always On Top could be the answer BUT if I do that, all sub-menus will be UNDER the main menu rather than stacked on top.

View 2 RepliesI am currently working on a family project which is based on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" show. There is a huge diffrence between the show and my project. My project is a christmas edition and the goal is not to get money or something, since I will not add it... Erhmm... Let me get to the point. I have already designed a layout and scripted some things. I have about thirty questions but I do not want them to always spawn in the same array, if you know what I mean. I want the program to randomly choose one of those thirty questions and NEVER choose the same question in the same program run. By the way, there are four options on my project: A, B, C and D. I have got everything, I just need a code.
View 3 RepliesI have an problem to assign a startup form in vb.net. I have three forms:
1) Registration Form
2) Login Form
3) Main Form
Firstly i have set set startup form as registration in properties =>Application after registration completed or saved i am displaying the Login form by hiding the registration form. and entering username and password it displays the Main form. Now the twist when i exit from application next time i started to run my project where i can check if their is entry in registration form it will directly goto login form.
I need to put following code in the Constructor of my startup form.
JohnKenedy.BusinessSQLEXPRInstaller _ins = new JohnKenedy.BusinessSQLEXPRInstaller(" _ <Installation Display Name>", "localhost", "<New database instance name>", _
"<new database name>", "<database password>", "<database backup filename>");
if (_ins.IsDone == false) _ins.ShowDialog();
if (_ins.IsRestart == true) {
Application.Exit();
this.Close();
return;
}
But I really do not know what the Constructor is and how to access it?
I created a VB.Net Windows Forms application and my Form1 is my startup form. I want to have a class be my startup file instead of my form. In c# you have program.cs which does that for you but I cant seem to find something like that in vb.net.

View 2 Repliesthis might be a really dumb question, but if someone could enlighten me I'm writing a Winforms application in VS2008 vb.net.The application starts with a main form. I've got a status bar at the bottom of the main form, indicating the application status. I've got a 'SetAppStatus' method on the Main form.
I'm writing a class that needs to update this status. So in the class I'm Importing the Main Form. But I don't know how to call this SetAppStatus method because I don't know what the instance of the main form is called Plus am I doing this the right way? I'm still grappling a bit with how .NET all fits together and it can get a bit baffling :)
