View 4 Repliesi'm using a menustrip. the menuitems click events won't show a messagebox properly. i think it does load, but i've no idea where, because it disables the form + i can't see it anywhere. it might be behind the form. i have to push the enter key to free the form. [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.

View 1 RepliesI want to make my Form's icon appear on System tray - as long as my application is running [not just when minimizing]. How do I do that?
[Code]...
I have a vb.net 2008 application which has its corresponding icon.
The icon shows correctly except in the taskbar when the "small icon" setting is on.
My vb.net project includes a .ico file which when I see in the IDE includes 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64 and 256x256 bitmaps, in 4, 24 and 32 bits, also 3 .png images in 256x256 32 bits each.
I made the icon myself simply using a 64x64 bitmap and then converting it to .ico, and assigning it to the application in the project properties. I thought windows would use and escalate the corresponding image, it shows even in the file explorer properly in the small icon form, but not in the taskbar.
I have another probably easy question to answer but i can't figure it out... I have made a little snake game with a score attached to it running through a timer that outputs to a label.

View 1 Repliesshowing MessageBox's from background workers.My program is a utility that has several functions and each function is boxed in a UserControl and then placed on a TabControl on the main form. A few of the utilities are batch functions that take quite a bit of time to complete their task. In order to allow the user to use the other utilities while a batch utility is running I make use of the BackgroundWorker class. It's quite handy!
My only problem is when I need the user to interact with the background thread, usually due to an error condition. I want to be able to halt the thread and display a MessageBox to the user. At first when you just do it from the background thread as demenstrated in the code below, it appears to work fine. But the MessageBox is not actually parented by the Form. If you select the Form, it will hide the MessageBox and the user thinks that the program has stalled. What's worse is that my program has a setting to allow the user to make the window TopMost, which means that the form will always hide the MessageBox when TopMost.
Option Strict Off
Public Class Form1
Private Sub chkTopMost_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles chkTopMost.CheckedChanged
Me.TopMost = chkTopMost.Checked
[code]....
I have thought about passing the message using ReportProgress(), but the problem with this is that the BackgroundWorker will not halt it's opperation, and there is no built in mechanisim to send a message back to the BackgroundWorker.

My probelm, sometimes messagebox.show method don't show messagebox on screen. It will appear in task bar but we have to click it to show it on screen (looks like it is hanged but messagebox is already there in taskbar so click it to show message "success" then click ok to close the messagebox). then only we can click "ok" to close it. without clicking it my "in progress" window won't close. sometimes messagebox will appear with no problem.
When i run this project, only messagebox button ok appear, but button cancel do not show. i'm using visual basic express edition 2008. and this is my codding.

I have a button that when clicked i want the user to make sure that they want to clear data in textbox's so i did a vbYesNo box inside the messagebox.show.i cannot figure out how to determine if its a Yes or a No.If they click YES then i want the text cleared ... if no then show nothing. I know that i have a msgbox there but thats meaningless its just to show if it works or not. once it works then i will remove that code.[code]
View 5 RepliesIs there any difference between the two:
msgbox()
messagebox.show()
Some tutorials use msgbox() some use the other messagebox.show()---I see that both can have an editable style but I was wondering why there are two.
Is it to accommodate for older programmers (who have learnt on an older version of visual basic).
So in that case which one should I use on VB 2010 (VS 2010)

View 3 RepliesMy converter shows the answer using the message box. i want to have a icon on the message box and a title at this top bar. my code is this: MessageBox.Show((number * multiplier), vbInformation, "Answer").ToString()
i used that because it was stated in a vb.net tutorial website. but when i check it again, it states that MSGBOX not MESSAGEBOX.show. what's the difference within the two? i cannot used msgbox for showing the answer and i don't know why. what's the code for the messagebox.show to have a icon or a sign?
i have visual studio ultimate 2010 and i was using visual basic and when i tried the messagebox.show command it does not work , am i missing any libraries that need to be installed or did they change this command , if i am missing some libraries , is there a patch or something that needs to be setup.

I teach VB in college, using the Express edition. I was doing an exercise with my class today using the MessageBox.Show() method in a Windows Forms application. But when I tried entering it in the edit window, it gave me the following error message: 'show' is not a member of 'MessageBox' and it did not show up in the Intellisense box. Most of my students' computers did work with that method, but one or two of them didn't. Meanwhile, I had to revert to the MsgBox() function to get through the exercise.

If CustomerTxt.Text = Nothing Then
CustomerLblERR.Visible = True
If Order_StatusComboBox.Text = Nothing Then
orderstatusERRLbl.Visible = True

But no matter where I put a message box,(on cancel button, on random button on binding navigator) it closes down the form and goes back to the main form. As far as I know it is the only form this happens on.
