VS 2008 Enabling A Disabled Form From Another Form
Jun 3, 2009
I am calling a login form from the base form. From the base form I disable it after i show the login form. Then from the login form I want to re-enable the base form that is disabled... I have set it to be enabled at the closing of the login form... doesn't work.. i have set it to be enabled through a collection and calling that base forms handle... doesn't work.. Anything that i might be overlooking?These forms are inside an MDI form..

I attached a picture of how my project should look and what the labels are. There are a total of 12 books and 4 different age groups. In each age group there are 3 books. There is also a previous and next books button which will show the next book in that age group. I want to make it so that previous button is disabled when it is on the first book of each age group and so that the next book button is disabled when it is at the last book. The only issue that I am having is that after the button is disabled it is not enabled again after. Here is my full code for this part as of now. As you can see I made it so that everytime I click on a new age group the previous button is disabled initially.
I took some unnecessary code out of here because I don't want anyone from my class finding this and coping all of my work.
Public Class BookInfoForm
' use this array to display information in this form
Private books(,) As BookInfo = getBooks()
[Code].....

I am making a configuration screen so that an administrator can easily determine what controls on a form are enabled according to a combo selection.
I have created a table (SQL2008 DB) to store the settings and need ideas how I can best implement.
The session form will start up normal with only a few controls enabled to start, but then when the user selects a "session type" from a drop down combo then the form will be configured for that type. Because there may be several different combinations, and I do want to offer the user the ability to add and configure more types as needed I feel like this may be the best method instead of hard coding.
Table Structure
SessionType varchar(25) not null PK
ControlSwitch varchar(50) Not Null
(Edit: I may add an additional DB field so that I can specify the default value of a control also)
Now what I thought I would do on the config form is have a series of combo boxes and the label represent each control with a value of True or False, then when saved it builds a string like example 1,1,0,1,0,1,1,1 or True, True, False etc.
The string would represent
ctrl1=on, ctrl2=on,ctrl3=off,ctrl4=on,ctrl5=off,ctrl6=on,ctrl7=on,ctrl8=on and so on.

I have 4 forms. I have a button on form2 that when pressed, I want it to enable a button on form1. What I've tried is this:
Code:
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Form1.Button3.Enabled
End Sub
But its telling me that the property access must assign to the property or use it's value.

I am using Reflection with VB.Net to get all the forms in a list box and all controls in another list box for the selected form in the first list box for any selected Assembly from any location.
On selection of any form and clicking the 'Open Form' button it opens that particular form in disable state.
But it throws exception as connection could not established(seems the load event of the form still fires which is not desired).
So now i want that the form should load in disable state without firing any event of it and also if any of the control will be selected then it will be highlighted in the form with a red border.

I have a rich text box that I want to show as un-editable and un-selectable text. If I set Read-Only to YES and Enabled to NO, then I get the desired effect...
...except disabling the control changes the background color to the washed out grey. I'd like to keep the background color white.

Alright, I have form, with multiple buttons on it. I want it so when I Click on the Button that Says START it will Change to STOP but at the same time Enable all the Disabled Buttons on the Form. ATM I have this.
Dim ctl As Control = Me.GetNextControl(tbStudio, True)
Do Until ctl Is Nothing
If TypeOf ctl Is Button Then
If ctl.Enabled Then
[Code]...
Works Good, but when I add the btnStartStop.Text = "Start" or .Text = "Stop" to the If Statements, it's always getting stuck on "Stop" I also tried a Boolean statement but came out all funky, EVERY OTHER button was Disabled while the OTHERS were Enabled. I feel like a n00b, I've been programing for a bit now, but just got back into it,

On each of my form I have put an 'Exit' button. When user clicks it, another form is displayed (I don't want to use 'MessageBox') asking user whether he really wants to quit. If user clicks yes the form closes. If user clicks no, form is redisplayed.
However, out of 4 forms only one form refuses to redisplay. The code is exactly same on all forms. I have included 2 Express 2008 projects showing one form each in the zip file apps-ssk.zip

I'm upgrading a project from VB6 to VB2008.I have a routine that clears a combo box, named 'cmbDataTable' which could be on any form. I pass the form and the combo box is cleared.
[code]...
I assumed it would be the same in VB2008 but I get the error.'cmbDataTable' is not a menber of 'System.Windows.Forms.Form'I am working my way through the project, first updating the global procedures - this is one - I haven't written the calls so cmbDataTable doesn't yet exist.

In VB 2008, I have a Parent form with a combo box on it. There is a child form also with a combo box on it. I want to be able to change the values on the child form based on what the user selected from the main form. The user launches the child form from a toolbar on the Parent form. The following code is run:
[Code]...
What I want to do is if the Parent's combo box has "Red", "Blue", "Green" values and the user selects "Green", the child form's combo box(With the same values) will also change to "Green". (I do not need to change the Parent form if the child form changes.) I've tried changing the Child's combobox from the combobox's change event on the Parent form, and the code runs, but nothing changes on the child form.

I need to know the proper way, or maybe I should say, the different ways to call another form from a parent or preceding form. I am currently using ex: formname.showdialog() to call my next form, but I am uncertain if I should be using that in every situation. [code] Whats the difference between these different methods? (ex: .showdialog() , .show() )I tried both of these to open a temporary form to retrieve a persons name from a database, so as the users progresses through my training program they can keep track of their scores.But, I also call other forms as I branch through my program, from the main page, to a secondary page, to a testing page, to a results page and then back to the secondary page

i am having an issue populating two combo boxes on form load. The program will connect to an access database and pull data as instructed. Then as it pulls each record it puts it into the combo box.
This was working.. atleast i think it was. i dont recall it ever not working, however i wasn't looking for it.
My problem is that if when i load the MDI parent form and have it skip the selection form and the login form and load the next form in the sequence, it loads everything perfectly. However if the select form is loaded first, then the login form and then the form i need loaded, it will not populate. The only difference between the two different loads is that the login form calls a function that loads the form as a new project.form
I did this so that I can have multiple forms open at a time. I am assuming my problem is that I need to get the child forms handle then populating controls using that handle? but i think if I had to do that then I would beable to populate the comboboxes on the first form load using the login method of opening the form.
Here's my code.
vb.net
Private Sub frmLine1t5_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.Text = "Line " & LineNumber & " Test Form"

When I use
Me.Close()
Form1.Show()
It closes the whole app.
How would I change it so that it only closes the current form while opening a new one? EDIT: I put [Not Resolved] Because I accidently pressed the resolved thing

I have one form, which the user enters upto 5 websites then clicks go - I have on the second form, the one with the webbrowser. timer which checks if the web browser is busy then either a green light or black image will be shown along side the assocaited input box on the first form. I am finding it impossible to feed variables into the clock through ByVal, like I would a subroutine or function.

i have the following code sliding from the bottom of the main form position to the middle of the main form.
main form Dim Viewform2 As New Form2
[Code]...
no code, just a form thats width 292 and height 266 This code works but its very choppy when the slider form slides up. Also, i am unable to get the opacity correct as well where it fades in and then out when it leaves.

I'm trying to make a simple game, but i have a question.i have a minimum damage and maximum damage lbl boxes on 1 form and i have a button if clicked it opens a 2nd form with buttons that deal "damage" when clicked
1. Attack (a regular attack that would deal the damage from form 1)
2. another attack ( this deals damage from form1 + 8)
3. another attack ( deals 30% damage for 4 attacks [so 4 attacks that deals 30% damage each])
4. another attack ( this one is great. it deals damage of 2 times of minimum damage to maximum damage and a third label box lblAP (attack power) which each 2 points of attack power you have it adds 1 more damage.)
i can do that math i just have no clue how to bring the info from form 1 to form 2.
