when you login it is the meaning that another form opens. But as soon as the new form opens up everything closes. The code i used is this:
Public Class Form1
Public Goldhave As Integer
Public UserName2, Password As String
[Code].....
When opening a button and opening a new form as soon as it opens it close for some reason but its not giving any errors as to why its doing this now I've checked the linked linking it to the next form that's fine.
Private Sub PrintPerscription_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Login.con.Open()
sql = "SELECT Patient.* FROM Patient where Patient.Wardno = " & Login.WardNo.ToString
da = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sql, Login.con)
noOfRows = da.Fill(dsPatient, "Patient")

I developed a winform .NET 4 application that has the ability to asyncronous save image from scanner using Bytescout Scan. Anyway I noticed that in some cases (with some scanners) the scanner's GUI opens and then closes immediately after load without performing any scan. Since no error message is raised either from my code and from scanner software itself; is there some settings/tweak somewhere I should pay attention?

View 13 RepliesThere was some confusion when my users were testing my code over what version they were running. We have a root directory that the exe is run from. Under that root I have folders like V3.1, and V3.2. All they have to do is look in the sub-folders and match the exe time stamp with what is in the root to know what they are running, yet this was confusing to them. The version is in the caption of the main form, too, but sometimes they didn't pay attention. So I needed a better way. I coded a splash screen which displays for 5 seconds and announces the version.
The problem is that while this works fine on my PC, I can't get it to work on the test machine that they run the exe from. It works for me from VS, and it works from my C: drive if I click the exe that is in my VS bindebug folder. What happens on the test machine is nothing. You don't see the splash screen but you don't get an errror either.
My question maybe not be very clear, but I just want to know how this process is called or references needed to create something similar, so I can investigate on my own ( but if you have code is welcome.Basically I have 2 desktop programs ( A and B). For A, I do not have the source code, for B I do.What I need is to create some service/program that after a screen pops up from program A, automatically runs B. IN other words, capture the moment a specific screen is shown in A and execute B.
My real life scenario is that I have a very basic POS where I can't collect customer demographics ( zip code, etc), so I created a second application to capture that but my cashiers are always forgetting to run the program and I need to find a way to run it after a screen is shown ( let's say the "Change Due" in the POS, so they don't forget to run it.
my application starts executing a module. it runs process.

Public Sub SubMain()

Application.Run(New frmLogin)
End Sub

I have tried to add a splash page to my app. I've tried the MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime" Property, but it doesn't seem to work. (Don't bother trying to explain that to me again. I've given up on that.) Therefore, I will just work the splash screen as a form (like everything else). start it when the application starts and close it (automatically) after 4 seconds?
View 4 RepliesBasically, my app has the main form and a windows form "splash". Let me explain, this "Splash" is a WINDOWS FORM, not a splash form; its just named splash because I want to use it for that reason.In my project settings, my main form is my startup, and the splash form is my splash. This splash form has been coded on a timer for 10 seconds, but when I set the splash form as the splash setting, the form shows up for 1 second and goes to the main form.What I need is to edit the splash setting time from 1 second to x# seconds (preferebly 10)

View 3 RepliesMy objective is to have a splash screen that displays a status and steps a progress bar. I have created a custom splash screen form with all the controls that I require. Note: This form has not been designated
as the splash screen in the application settings. I tried that earlier and it got me nowhere. On the main form's load event I show the splash screen. All that seems to work. What doesn't work is getting an update to the splash screen. Actually the function gets called and the label control text gets changed
(I think) but the splash screen never shows the update. I have tried to refresh the control and the form itself but that doesn't work. After spending all morning on the search engines I tried using a delegate but that doesn't seem to
