VS 2008 - MessageBox Does Not Get Focus
Oct 19, 2011
I want to show a message box to as the user if he/she wants to save changes. The problem is that the message box shows up behind my current form, and the current form does not have focus and is disabled. I have to switch a another program/window then when I switch back to my application, it finally shows the message box. Same thing happens when I compile and run it compiled. I also tried "MsgBox" with the same problem.
This is the code i'm using:
vb.net
Private Sub frmMain_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
Dim ret As DialogResult = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.No
[Code] .....
I am doing this on a Windows XP (SP3)

I have a form which contains a progressbar and a Listbox which update as the code runs through and performs some sometimes time-consuming calculations.
At one point in the code, it breaks to ask the user to enter a number using :
Usedefault = MsgBox("Do you want to use the default value of " & Default_No & "?", vbYesNo)
If Usedefault = vbNo Then
[Code].....
this works fine but I find that once the data entry is complete, and the code continues to run, the form loses focus and the progressbar and the Listbox updates cannot be seen until the code finished its calculations.

I am having problem setting focus on specific cell in my Datagridview1 . On Form1 when clicking on cell 3 in any row, I am callig a Dialog1. However, when done working with it, and closing the Dialog1, the focus returns to cell 3 in my Datagridview1 . I like to set the focus on the next cell(4) making it the current cell.
I have tryed :
DataGridView1.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.CellSelect
DataGridView1.CurrentCell = DataGridView1.Item(4, e.RowIndex)
DataGridView1.CurrentCell = DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells(4)
And few other things, I am always getting this exception: Operation is not valid because it results in a reentrant call to the SetCurrentCellAddressCore function.

Currently I have a background worker doing a bunch of stuff and if a condition is met, it throws up a MessageBox for the user to pick from an the background thread pauses like I need it to, however most of the time the Messagebox shows up behind the main form (which is on the primary app thread, the UI thread) and I'd like the BW code to pause until it's acknowlegded and I also want the MessageBox to be owned by the main form (so it's always displayed in front and you can't get to the main form until you acknowledge the MessageBox. Later I'll be changing the MessageBox to be a modal form that matches the app's theme (I'll be opening this form using .ShowDialog()) should I go ahead and make that form now?

I have a mini form application. What I need is to have a message box asking the user to confirm exist. Yes/No. This should happen if the user click the exit button on the form or the (X) on the title bar.
I have this piece of code attached to the exit button on the form. I'm trying to use an if statement but don't have a clue as to how I can apply it to what I already have.
Private Sub btnExit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnExit.Click
MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to exit?", "Confirmation", _
[Code].....

I need to do a MessageBox.Show when ProgressBar1.Value = 1000 or after 10 seconds Button1 was clicked. For the second method, I thought of making a loop but I didn't know how to. I also need to search a string in a file (The string to search will be the text which was entered in a TextBox) and do different things depending on if the string was found or not.

Is there a more efficient/easier way changing the backcolor of a control when it has focus and lost focus? Let's say I've got 10 text boxes. Right now I would have 20 different events...10 for Enter event and 10 for Leave event. Of course, entering would change the back color to "green" and leaving would change it back to "white".

Here is what I've done:1) Created an Excel COM add-in for Excel 20032) Added a NotifyIcon to the Windows taskbar notification area (aka system tray) during ThisAddIn_Startup3) Added a ContextMenuStrip with a ToolStripButton to the NotifyIconWhy is it when I right click on the NotifyIcon, Excel gains focus? If after clicking on the NotifyIcon to display the ContextMenuStrip I choose not select an option on the ContextMenuStrip and instead click back on the Excel window, I get a weird flashing cell in Excel.I've created a video of the problem to help you see what I [url] anyone know how to prevent this? Ideally, I'd like to be able to click back on Excel and only have the ContextMenuStrip close and Excel regain focus.

I have two forms in an application. One is he background and then I show another keypad form called with the show() method (not showDialog) because I need to perform some validations on btn click.
The kepad has 10 buttons and an Enter Button. The problem is that the form keeps loosing focus (I checked this with a messagebox which keeps poping up once for focus=true and again for focus=false, it continuously keeps losing and gaining focus) so it does not process any keypress events untill i click somewhere on the form. I tried using me.focus() in form load event but to no avail. The forms TopMost property is also set to true.

I have a textbox on a form that when it loses focus it updates other text boxes on the form. But before it updates the other textboxes I check the input value in the textbox lostfocus event if it is undesired I return focus to the the textbox and alert the the user with a msgbox. However where my problem is, is that when the cancel button is clicked I don't care what the input in the textbox is because the changes are being canceled but if the value is undesired the it keeps returning focus to the textbox instead of canceling the changes. Is there a way to see what control was clicked on before or in the lost focus event? Can't seem to figure it out tried enter and leave events but no luck!
So for example something like this...
Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.LostFocus
If Control that was clicked <> btnCancel then
[Code].....

I'll try and describe this correctly. a simple datarepeater (databound, winform) with a button on it, clicking the button on the datarepeater opens another form with an uploading routine, you select the file from your hardrive, and you can send the file to it's destination on a server. the problem is when the button is clicked, the previous datarepeater template or instance still has the focus and the file gets uploaded to the wrong place, how can i, when the button is clicked, give focus to the datarepeater template that the button is on. if i click on the template, and then click the button, then the proper focus is true.

Much like you'd do a formname.show. I'd like to make a tabpage come to view. I've tried the tabpage#.show and it didnt bring it to focus.

I am working on a timing program and have a start button programmed to clear all the variables and start timing events. I have another button programed to stop the timing and show the data. The problem is that when I place the cursor on the start button and press the left mouse button it workes fine, but when I move the cursor to the stop button and press the left mouse button the start buttons 3D showes that it was pressed? Since the start button clears all of the data there is nothing to display in the text boxes. If I press the left mouse button again the stop buttons 3D shows that it was pressed. Have looked everywhere for a hint as to what to do but have found nothing yet.
