Refreshing Databound ComboBox Values On Form
Jun 9, 2008I have a databound combobox that displays a list of items, and I have a windows form that opens after clicking a button that allows me to make changes to the table that the combobox gets it's values from. When I make the changes and save them (successfully) and return to the parent window, the changes aren't reflected in the combobox. If I exit the app and launch it again the changes are reflected perfectly. I've tried me.combobox.refresh() on the forms GotFocus event, but no luck.
View 3 RepliesRefreshing Form During Powerpoint Auto-mation VB 2008?
Feb 3, 2009I have a VB 2008 Forms application which does Powerpoint automation -- I am opening owerpoint in a minimized window from within my app and am trying to periodically put update messages in a textbox on my main form while the automation is running (it takes a few minutes to complete), but my form window does not want to show these messages until the powerpoint operations are finished. It seems as if I need to force a window refresh or something on my windows form, but I'm unclear how to do that. Below is some code that I'm using that illustrates what I'm trying to do. When I run it, "Step One / Step Two / Step Three" do not show up on my textbox until after the Powerpoint automations are over.
View 3 RepliesVS 2008 - Adding Rows To Databound DataGridView From Child Form?
Feb 7, 2010I am having trouble adding a row to a databound datagridview on a parent form from a child form. I have two forms, one contains a datagridview that is bound to a table using 'datagridviewbindingsource' and contains an 'add' button. The second contains a checked listbox that is populated correctly and has a "Cancel" and an 'OK' button - when i check several items in the child form, i would like to hit okay and update the bindingsource of the datagridview on the first form with the checked items.

Refreshing DataGrid On Parent Form After A Child Form Has Updated DB?
Dec 3, 2009Basically I have two forms - Form1 has a DataGrid on it (Infragistics) and in the double-click row event it creates an instance of the EditForm and passes along the UniqueId for editing. Once the user saves the changes (if they make changes) - I want the DataGrid on Form1 to refresh. Here is how I thought I could get this to work ... I create a public property called RefreshRequired as boolean. Before unloading the EditForm it sets this property to true. Then Unloads. This continues the code in Form1 (which showed the EditForm as modal) but RefreshRequired is still showing as False? Why isn't my EditForm able to set the property?

VS 2010 - Form.Activated - Refreshing A Form Bound To Different Tables
Feb 4, 2011I had issues in refreshing a form that is bound to different tables in a database. Various forms allow the user to change and add and update information on the form via the database. I had created a public sub in that form that the other forms could call, after saving the data, that was supposed to refresh the data on the main form. This was not working so I researched the problem. I came across this page which pertains to Form.Activated: [url]
I placed all of the table adapter fills into this event, instead of in Form_Load, and it seems to work now, when the form first loads, and when other forms update data. My question is does anyone have experience using this and what are the consequences, if any, in using this to reload/refresh the data showing on the form?
Refreshing First Datagrdiview-form From Activated Second Detailview-form?
Jul 8, 2009I am working on supplier maintenance file. From mainmenu, opening first form shows records on datagridview through databinding. Clicking add new record, i fired a second form as my data entry with detail view through databinding, minus navigational buttons. I left the delete and save button only. Once through data entry, i save it on server. My problem is, how can i reflect the added record on the first form while i am on my second form? I prefer the new record be added only to the first form. I don't want the idea of retrieving the records again from my server.

Refreshing Datagridview From A Second Form?
Jan 24, 2011I am trying to refresh a datagridview from a second form to display newly written data. I have read the posts on this topic and can't figure mine out. My first form opens and you input data into text fields, etc. and then you need to select items from one table to copy and write to a new table. The datgridview on the first form shows the new table, and I have a new form that pops up to select the line items to add. Everything works perfectly except when I close the selection form after selecting lines, I would like the datgridview on the first form to refresh to show that the lines have been selected and displayed in the datagrid.
My data is loaded into the datagridview as so;

Reloading/refreshing Form?
Jan 17, 2012I've been working on this game the past few days, a simple game where two people control different tanks, and shoot each other, very basic so far.The problem I have is when one player is dead. I have the form recognizing each players death by using this code (It's within a timer subroutine)
'Player One Dead
If intPlayerOneHealth <= 0 Then
btnReplay.Visible = True
End If
[code]....
and that code is replicated for every key pressed (Arrow keys, WASD, e, and end). Those booleans are handled in a timer subroutine, where if the boolean is true, they will move/shoot. (Turning the booleans to false is done in the 'Private Sub KeysUp' subroutine)
TL;DR How do I get the game to restart itself when a player dies and hits the replay button?
P.S. I've tried 'Me.Refresh()' as well, and that didn't do anything

I need to refresh this form by calling the "MyRefresh()" method if the form has focus, and no controls have been clicked on in this form for the last 60 seconds.
Is there an efficient way of doing this ?

View 5 RepliesVS 2008 Database Not Refreshing After Structural Change?
Aug 26, 20091) I created and attached a database to my VB application.
2) I edited the Dataset within the Designer to add a new Insert query to one table. Everything worked great.
3) Externally I modified the structure of the database, changing one field from date to string. Went back to the application and everything was fine. It seemed to update and be aware of the change.
4) Again externally I added a new field to the table. I went back to VB and adjusted the query to include the new variable.
5) Now, VB keeps telling me the first variable I changed is a Date variable and not a string, and I can't seem to convince it otherwise.
My changes should have been refreshed and changed automatically by VB. I did a lot of similar changes and additions earlier, and they all worked. Is there any way of forcing a refresh, or rebuilding the definitions. I did try to go into the designer.vb file and manually change the "date" to "string" in the references to my field (I adjusted all the fields so they matched other string variables).
I don't want to have to rebuild the whole application from the ground up again. (this is the third time something like this has happened to me).

View 2 RepliesVS 2008 Drag/Drop Between Two DataBound DataGridViews?
Mar 19, 2010I have an MDI application that shows MDI forms with a single DataGridView on each form. The grid is bound to a List(Of Item), where Item is some class. Now I need to be able to drag (possibly multiple) items from one grid (in one form) to another grid (in another form).
Unfortunately, I know nothing about DataGridViews and even less about drag and drop, so this is turning into a real pain for me...I have been looking at examples for ages, but none of them work for me. Most of them don't deal with databound items, others don't seem to work at all, and yet others can only deal with a single row at a time (pretty useless for me).
This must be something that people need a lot, so I can't understand why the examples are so 'bad'.
