I have a hidden form in my app. When i call that form's Close() method fromanother form to close it, the form's FormClosing() and FormClosed() eventsare not raised. Is this behaviour normal and expected?
View 2 RepliesI have this notepad that is all ready to go now except for one thing..when the user uses the X to close the form she does get a confirm exit without saving changes dialog box, the problem is that she did in fact save her changes. So for some UnGodly reason ...,, my event is not picking up the fact that changes have been made.lution to this?? I have been up and down the net LOL..looking for ONE that works here is the code that I have going on for that event:
Private bIsChanged As Boolean = True
#Region "events"
Private Sub frmMyNotes_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
[code].....
Private Sub frmMain_FormClosing(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosing
Dim log As String = String.Empty
If File.Exists("watcher.log") Then
Dim sr As New StreamReader("watcher.log")
[Code] .....
No watcher.log file is being created/modified in the Release folder in my project, but it works when debugging and puts one in the Debug folder.
I'm trying to delete a file in the FormClosed method, but I get an error saying it's in use by another process. At this point in my program it's not needed anymore. Is there any way to take control of it and delete it, or is there a better method to try to delete it in?
View 8 RepliesMy routine to check for updates is run as a separate process. Exiting the application is required to update, so a dialog asks the user, when an update is found, if they want to exit now. f they do, the code (from the update thread) calls Application.Exit().However, if the FormClosed event of any form that needs to be closed needs to access its controls, an invalid cross-thread operation is detected (which sounds pretty logical).
View 1 RepliesI have to write some code for my app that if the application crashes or my machine crashes or for whatever reason the application closes abnormally and the user was in the process of making changes, I need to write some code that will at least ask the user if they wish to save their changes to the database.
With that said, what I have done thus far is set a flag in specific "TextChanged" events of certain controls. When the above scenario happens, I check this flag in the "FormClosing" event. In testing this, I selected a record from a DataViewGrid which then populated certain controls where this flag is set. I realize that at that point the "TextChanged" event is fired because the fields receive a value and that boolean flag is set to "True".
My issue is that this flag gets set even though the controls get populated but no physical data changes have been made. So, what I'm wondering is whether or not their is another event I can check other than the "TextChanged" event that will truly detect if any new changes have been made and at that point set the boolean flag to "True".

View 4 RepliesI have a single windows form application that is running in system tray icon.If the user press X button of the windows form a messagebox is displayed with Yes and No ( Yes ->close the form---No->keep the form running in system tray icon).I was thinking to prevent the scenario when the user open another instance of the application when there is already an instance running so i have used this code :
If Process.GetProcessesByName(Process.GetCurrentProcess.ProcessName).Length> 1 Then
MessageBox.Show("Another instance is running", "Error Window", MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation)
Application.Exit()
End If
The problem is that when i want to test this the message is displayed but after i press ok, a new messagebox appears (that one from Private Sub Form_FormClosing ).If i choose NO i will have to instance running!I have read that Application.Exit fires the Form_FormClosing event.Is there any possibility to cancel the triggering of the Form_FormClosing event?'this is the formclosing

Private Sub Form_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing

This is for a WindowsCE project,
Windows WM6 does not allow you to hook in WndProc easily as this has been hidden, I've built a class that inherits from MesageWindow, which allows me to receive Messages as intended.
What I'm trying to do is create an event that will return a value Boolean bypassing base.WndProc(ref m);
basically saying I've handled the event it does not have to, similar to how the Form_closing event would work e.g e.Cancel will cancel he closing off the form.
I've not finished my WndProc function as of yet but you should get the picture.
Code:
public delegate void WndProcEventHander(object sender, WndProcEventArgs e);
public event WndProcEventHander OnWndProc;
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)

View 5 RepliesPrivate Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _
Handles Me.Load, Me.FormClosing
MessageBox.Show("form_load")[code]....
While closing the form I observed that the Form1_FormClosing method is fired first, and then Form1_Load second. Why is this order chosen? Why doesn't Form1_Load get fired/entered first, and then Form1_FormClosing second?How does .NET choose which method to fire first, of the two that handle the same event?
I have a code snippet that I want to run when the app is closing. So, I used FormCLosing event. But now i wanna place a confirmation message for exiting. Like, if the user clicks the Exit(X) button, there'll be a prompt, if he clicks NO, then the app will not close and revert to previous state. Now I find that hard to achieve using FormClosing event. because it'll get executed no matter what button the user clicks.
View 1 Replieswhen closing the form, checkchanges() is run in order to check if there is data changes..in checkchanges(), i compare data in database and form..if data in form is not same as in database, it consider data has been changed..thus, if there is changes, user will be promt to save data before close..the problem is, when my form is closing, the checkchanges() always show no changes, even when i made changes..this is because, when data is compared (between database and form), the form is already commit changes in database..that is why , when data is compared, it is actually compare the same value...
For example:
*when form load*
database: employee number = 1009
textbox: employee number = 1009
[CODE]...
That is why checkchanges() always show no changes.because it commit changes to database before it made comparison..what should i do to prevent from commit changes when form is closing?
on the form event: FormClosing I have this code that saves a treeview to xml, when it is saved it displays a message, but when I click the messagebox OK button, the messagebox keeps popping up and won't close that form.Here is the code I use:

I'm trying to give the user a chance to cancel FormClosing of MDI Parent by throwing a "Are you sure?" msgbox with an e.cancel however when FormClosing is invoked by MDI Parent, all MDI Children close first, before the msgbox appears.
I was wondering if there's an easier way to prevent MDI Children from closing rather than having to e.cancel every child form's FormClosing until I get a positive response to close and then push all the close events on the children because that seems like too much of a hassle if you have a lot of MDI Children.
EDIT: I guess the only solution I can find is adding If e.CloseReason = CloseReason.MdiFormClosing Then e.Cancel = True to the FormClosing event and using ApplicationExit instead.
I have a series of radio buttons in a Group Box on my main form. When I run the program, the first step is Sub New and the InitializeComponent() procedure.
It then immediately goes to the first radio button CheckedChanged event. This even currently contains some programming to access information from a database table. However, the program hasn't even gone through the process of opening the database and logging in. This doesn't happen until after my frmMain.Load event. However, this happens after the CheckedChanged event for some reason. So now that I have included the data requirement, I am getting errors because the reader is opening before the connection opens. I know I can set up a Try....Catch....End Try to avoid a user error, but ...I thought the form would have to load before anything about the controls happens and then since I haven't clicked anything, I am not sure why the event is triggering.

i have a databound datagrid in vb.net 2008. This is a program where i use the double click event multipal times.. but for some reason on a new form it's not working anymore. In code behind i selected the datagrid and double click event. when i double click on teh grid in debug mode, it never fires off the event(i put a breakpoint in). I've tried several other events and none of them are firing.
View 1 RepliesI have a simple Windows Form that hosts property controls at runtime. When the user clicks Close [X] I want to keep the window and its contents alive rather than killing it by handling the FormClosing event, canceling the event and simply hiding the form.
That's fine but at close of the application I need to actually close the window. I implemented the below but it feels kludgey. Is there a simpler, more clever way to handle this situation? (The form's controller calls KillForm explicitly after it receives a closing event from the main window.)[code]...
I'm not even sure what I need to know. None the less lets say I got a timer with an if event to check if said event is triggered then it fires off some code. The problem is if said event is triggered it keeps firing off the code and I only need to do it one time. Whilst letting the timer keep checking if event happened. I hope I worded that right and here is a rough translation in code. [Code] Is there a way to keep checking if an event happened and only fire off the code one time?
View 1 RepliesI've written my code to implement a new property and to set the content to this default text and grey the text whenever the textbox is empty, and to hide it when the user starts typing. This all works fine at runtime.[code]My question is this : If I place an instance of the control on a form, and set the DefaultText via the properties grid, why doesn't my Property Set code run?I'd expect the control on the form to show my new DefaultText in the control, but instead it remains blank. When I run the form it does display correctly, but just not at design time. I place a breakpoint in the DefaultText set property code and it simply doesn't run.
View 2 RepliesI'm having a bit of a problem getting my application to close properly. Basically I have one main form from which all other forms open. If a user tries to close that main form, I want to bring up a MessageBox asking if they want to exit the application.However, when I try to do that it asks the question twice. It seems that the Application.Exit() is triggering the FormClosing event again for some reason, but I don't know of another way to exit the application. BTW, the main form isn't the startup form so I can't use the option to close when the startup form closes.

I am using a monthcalendar inside of a panel. when the user changes the "showweeknumbers" of the calendar I need to move some label to the right of the calendar, but I also need to resize the panel. The problem comes into play when the user hides the weeknumbers, the monthcalendar resize event fires and the labels move, but the panel resize causes the month calendar to fire the resize event again, making the labels all out of wack...

I have the following code:
Private Sub Exceptionquery()
Dim connection As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
Dim connectionString As String = "Initial Catalog=mdr;Data Source=xxxxx;uid=xxxxx;password=xxxxx"

I get the error Invalid Object name 'Scratchpad3' on this line:
adapter.Fill(ds)
I have tried to debug this and can see that the query is correct, that the values that are being passed to the sql server are correct but it doesnt look like my code is firing off the Exceptionquery Sub. I thought to call a sub all you had to enter was the name of the sub such as this line:
Exceptionquery()
I have also verified that the mapping of the buttonclick event is mapped correctly. I have other subs that I am calling in almost the same way and those work.

I've been looking for a solution to this for several hours now and cannot find a solution.
The Scenario:I have a masterpage baseclass (called basemaster)All of my master pages inherit from basemaster
basemaster defines an event 'Public Event HandleClickEvent As EventHandler'I have a masterpage named master1
master1 defines an event handler 'Public Shadows Event HandleClickEvent As EventHandler'master1 has a user control named usr1 usr1 has a button that raises event ButtonClicked when clicked I have a page (thePage) that uses master1 thePage has a button click event handler that it registers like so: 'AddHandler Master.HandleClickEvent, AddressOf HandleTheClick' master1 has code something like:
Protected Sub Usr1_ButtonClicked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Usr1.ButtonClicked RaiseEvent HandleClickEvent(sender, e) End Sub when thePage loads I see it register the handler on master1 when the button is clicked, Usr1_ButtonClicked is fired and I step through the RaiseEvent but HandleClickEvent on thePage is never reached.
