View 3 RepliesVS 2008 : Get 2 Forms To Close At Different Times Using A Timer On Each Of The 2 Forms?
Apr 21, 2010i have a problem with trying to get 2 forms to close at different times using a timer on each of the 2 forms.
This is my form layout:
Quote:
frmMain
Frm1
Frm2
Frm1 and Frm2 are identical to each other. FrmMain has 2 buttons on it. One button to call Frm1 and the other to call Frm2.Frm1 and Frm2 each has a timer. It counts down to 0 and then does a .close(). However, if i pause between clicking the second button they both seem to always disappears at the same time.I would do something like this...
Click on the first button (showing the Frm1 form)
wait about 10 secs...Click on the second button (showing the Frm2 form)they both are shown on screen...hen they both disappear at the same time.... which shouldn't happen since i clicked the Frm2 box 10 seconds AFTER Frm1... So Frm1 should hide before Frm2 does...but it does not.

View 14 RepliesForms And Resizing In 2008?
Aug 12, 2009Currently, my application is comprised of:a Main Form On this Form, lies an array of User controls, (pardon my terminology, i believe the more proper VB.Net term is Collection of controls). Within these controls are pictureboxes that have distinct graphics drawn on them. When I run this program, no graphics are drawn in the pictureboxes or it appears the graphics are overwritten. Also, it seems that the Form resizes uncontrollably varying in size on the screen and hits an infinite loop. I use the Form_Resize function for updating the size of the form. What could be causing this problem. What is the Paint method used for?Currently, to draw graphics on the Pictureboxes i am using the graphics object. I have two pictureboxes within the usercontrol for toggling back and forth for a more fluid refresh upon property updates.
From my reading, vb.net does not allow the ability to create an array of controls on a form, so I attempted to create an array of controls dynamically to try and stay as close to my vb6 application as possible because my knowledge is limited. This works, from what i can tell I know that in the Upgrade wizard the VB6.Compatiblity reference was used to try and mimic an array of controls, but I wanted to steer away from that and program strictly using VB.Net commands.

View 11 RepliesVS 2008 - Using More 3 Forms In A Project
Jul 28, 2010I would like to use 3 forms on which there will be various controls. I want the user of the program to complete first the stuff on Form1 then click to Button 1 in order to go to the second form (which is "next" button). On second form, there will be two buttons (Back and Next) and these will navigate it next or previous form. My aim is to have a single window at all times (the user should not see several windows and have the feeling that all these different windows are in fact a unique window with navigation buttons on it).
I know how to make forms visible/invisible or determine manually the location on the screen. But my question is if there is a conventional way of arranging these forms and their navigation. I used codes like "Form2.show" but I am not sure if it is the correct way to show form2 and make Form1 invisible or disabled.

View 6 RepliesVS 2008 Timers And Forms
Mar 18, 2011I have a background application with a couple of System.Timers.Timer running in it. I also have a NotifyIcon that when double clicked brings up a windows form.
My problem is that sometimes my form gets displayed but then for whatever reason it seems like it's losing focus and becomes un-usable (it just sits there in the background).
So here comes the question now... Can the freeze be caused by the form loading (i.e. me double clicking my NotifyIcon) and the timer tick happening the same time?

Forms :: Custom Dialogue Box In Vb 2008?
Mar 14, 2009I would like to generate some custom dialog boxes that I can call from anywhere in my project.
The easiest example I can give is of a form that waits for two numbers to be entered then returns their sum. I want to call it like a function ie. sum = add_two_numbers( " Enter the numbers you want to add then click add)This is not what I actually want to do, that is far more complex, this just a simple way to explain what I want to do. If I can do this I can do what I really want.
Essentially I want forms that will accept some input, process it and return a string. A bit like an input inputbox, an openfiledialog box or a fontdialog box. I also need to pass strings to it.I can do it if I use a function declared in a module which calls the form and then returns the value once it is calculated but isn't there a simpler more elegant method?
