How can I ensure an application is fully closed when the user selects the close window X at the top of the form. It appears to just close the current form by default which is leaving the program still loaded in memory when the user thinks they have closed it. I have tried capturing the close and running application.exit but this closes the whole application even when I only want the current form closed.
View 10 RepliesAlright, I have a vb6 LEGACY application and new Functionality (Form) written in c#. I have a VB.NET COM Class as a wrapper. I can launch the .NET Form just fine. THe problem I am having is closing the .net form from vb6.
Example:
In VB6, I have something like this:
CODE:
But it does not work becuase frmViewer is Nothing for some reason. how I should close the .NET form that was launched from VB6?
I have a form in a Pocket PC app that is set to be the Application form using:Application.Run(New frmMain())Somehow this form is getting closed for no reason while working on another form. No closing event is fired and nowhere in my code can you close the main form anyway. It is only closed by clicking the OK button at the top right of the window. When this is clicked, the user is prompted if he/she really wants to close the application. However, this is not occurring either.Basically, I am on another form which adds a new record to the database. After adding the record the gotFocus event is somehow called for frmMain. When the code in the gotFocus event reaches a reference to a control on the form, there is an exception that states that the object is disposed.
View 1 RepliesI have an app that is on a network drive. Around 100 people will be using the app.
Right now, I have 2 people testing it. They found a couple of bugs, I fixed them, and made the changes.
However, before I could update the app, they had to close it because I can't delete a file that is in use.
how I might prompt the user that the app will be closing in "x" amount of seconds for updating?
I've made a Windows Forms Application that runs fine. It has some buttons that open child forms, which can simply close again without any problem. As I need the form to be in a dll, I changed the application type to a class library and added an extra project containing an exe-file that only references the main form in the dll and shows it. So far so good...
The main form is basically a tabcontrol with a bunch of controls, buttons among others. Five buttons on different tabs use the same handler to open a child form. When I click the button on the first tab everything works fine. The form opens and when it closes, only the child closes. When I click any of the buttons on the other tabs, the child form opens and when it closes again, both the child and the main form close...
I am stumped, especially since all buttons use the same code to open the child form and everything appears to be completely identical, yet the results are not. Below I have pasted the code that opens the main and child forms. I am undoubtedly not looking in the right place, but I also have no idea where to look anymore, let alone what to look for...
The code opening the main form:
Public Sub StartProgram()
'Load the form and show it
Dim frmProgram As frmMain = New frmMain

I need to reload the form of my application. The application has only one form vb.net 2005. I need a button that will call the page_load event so I can restart and reload all my settings. basically I need to call the Sub private Page_load event().I just need to force the reloading of the form without having to close it and reopen it.This is the code which I need to reload:
Public Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
For Each URLname As String In My.Settings.URLtoTrackCollection
URLtoTrack.Add(URLname)

I have a parent form that has a list of items and each item has a unique ID. The user can open one or many of the items in a child form (it is set up in a tabbed MDI), but it can only open one instance of each item at a time.
In the parent form, I was going to make a collection (or something like that, maybe there is a better way) to keep track of which items are open in the child forms. I need to know when each child is closed so that it can be removed from the collection and reopened at a later time. I was thinking that when the child form closes, it somehow does something (like raise an event) that tells the parent form to remove the unique ID from the list of current open child forms.
My questions are, is this a good way to do this and I am pretty sure I would use the form closed event in the child form to update that parent form, but as well, I didn't know if this is the best way of handling it.
If raising the event is a good way, are some examples on how to do it out there? I found some for controls, but not while the form is closing/closed.
Form1 is a mdi container. It has a bunch of forms that can load inside of it as mdi children. If I close each open form inside the form1, and then click the red X at the top right, application exits fine.If I click the red X without closing the forms inside I get: An unhandled exception of type 'System.CannotUnloadAppDomainException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Error while unloading appdomain. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131015) However I can break from it. How do I get the application to not show that error? What must I do to fix those inside forms or close when the red x is clicked?
I've made an app with vs 2010, which holds a mainform. On it is a menutoolstrip with button, when I click on that button a second form is opened on a second monitor and the button is being checked (different color).
When I click the button again, it is unchecked, but the form on the second monitor is still open, while it should be closed.

I have a databound datagridview. When I click the close form it goes into an endless loop. The dataerror event is repeatedly called and the context field states that there is a formatting error. Never had this problem in 2008 ?
View 10 RepliesI have a windows application. I would like to run a statement while exiting my application. I tried adding my statement on FormClosing event. but it only executes if the application is closed properly. However, If the application is closed via task manager or system is restarted or logged out, etc. then the statement in closing or disposed event is not getting executed.
Private Sub Form1_Disposed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Disposed
MsgBox("disposed") End Sub Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
MsgBox("closing")
End Sub
can some one tell me how to get my statement executed even the user tries to log out or shut down or application is closed via task manger.
I'm sending a message on FormClosing(...)... This works ok. However... I have multiple tabs with a textbox or rtb, in it. When I change the text, whatever, it is modified. Now, when I close the app a messagebox appears that some of the textboxes or rtb's have been modified. This message is shown for each textbox-rtb-control. Which means, that when I have changed something in 4 different rtb's or textboxes I get the message 4 times. How do I change that to only one time?

I have a simple form that when filled out with a case # will return the name of the person that is handling the case. I am getting an error on any machine that does not have VS 2010 installed on it.

The above code is what I used in VB6 to close all forms associated with my programs before my program closed. I have been searching for information on how to make sure all forms are closed when closing a VB2008 program.
I have seen info on using the Project Property Shutdown mode When startup form closes and I currently have this set.
Is this all that is really necessary? Will the garbage disposal close everything else to free up RAM?
Also, if I have several forms open and want to close all from the main form without closing each one individually, what is the best approach? Is there a collection like in VB6, go through the collection, compare it to the name of the main form and close it if it is not the main form?
I have the following code to close a form which is a child. The problem is that when it closes, it closes the MDI parent too.

Final step in my application. I finally got all the requirements working, but now I need to have the application run in the background.
The application was written in Visual Studio 2010 VB, Win form app.
The requirements are as follows:
1.) run the application at start up
2.) no icon
3.) always in focas
4.) always runs in the background.

View 2 RepliesI'm having a problem over here; I'm developing a DirectX 9 application, and for some reason, I can't figure the way to close the application completely. This has never happened to me, to be honest. I am using Application.Exit(), which doesn't seem to do anything - it just closes the form, but the program is still running. I have also tried End, but it throws a run-time error I can't seem to figure out.

View 2 RepliesI am working on a project that has the user building scrapbook pages through several different forms. When the user selects something a presses a button I have the information about the selection load to a list box which is on a CheckoutForm. One of the options I have is for the user to save what they have made (this includes the information in the list boxes) and return to a previous form to build another page. I have been trying to use the Me.Close() but it does not save the information and using Me.Hide() displays the wrong elements on the forms.

If the user closed the child form, my application should close both the parent form and child form. What i have done is, i declared a boolean in the child form and passed the boolean value to parent. May be the code below will give the picture of what i am trying to do.

I have a unique challenge that I just cannot seem to get by...I have a form with a series of listboxes that allows the user to rename items in the listbox (I probably should be using a listview control instead). When the user right-clicks and selects rename from the context menu I show a simple form with two labels & text boxes showing the selected list box item in one textbox...the other is blank waiting for the user to enter a new name. What I'd like to do is when the user closes the rename form, the information is passed back to the calling form and a listbox refresh method is fired to show the changed name. Couple question:
First, is there an easier method to implement the renaming concept in a listbox (probably should be using a list view) i.e., have I overcomplicated things?
I have 2 forms. When a user clicks something on form1, form2 pops up. After user is done with form2 and closes it (where the dataset is updated), I want form1 to "reload" the dataset to reflect changes made in form2.
View 1 RepliesI just did some analysis by using a global function which is called GetCallingMethod in my case.
Mostly it works great. But some cases the application is blocked. It is blocked when closing the application. When going to "pause" in Visual Studio, it stays on the new StackTrace line forever.
In my application I am using third party references, multithreading and several classes. But all that should not be a problem and should not lock the tracer class as far as I imagine. I am using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate in this case.
This line will never be left in development area. Application will is frozen. Try/Catch will not force the procedure.
