When i close the startup form of my application, i want to see a msgbox. But in an event like FormClosed().So when i press the Exit button which contains the commands:
Me.Close() Me.Dispose() i can see the msgbox from the FormClosed() event. If i replace these two commands with End, i see nothing. And also if i end my app directly from the task manager i still see nothing. I tried many different events apart from FormClosed() (like Disposed, Leave etc) but i can't find a solution.
I have a main form that has a button with which a smaller form is shown. Think of the smaller form as the Find/Replace dialog in many applications, such as Notepad. It's important that the form is (what I believe is called) modal. What I mean is that it always stays on top of the main form. I ensure that by calling the Show method with "Me" as the owner argument. Whenever the small form loses focus it will not disappear into the background but stay visible (albeit out of focus). If you don't understand open up Notepad and have a look at the behavior of the Find/Replace dialog.
Here's my problem: instead of actually closing the form when the X is pressed, I want it to simply Hide itself, so its position and the state of any controls (checkboxes etc) is preserved automatically.To achieve this I simply cancel the FormClosing event and Hide it:
vb.net Private Sub Form2_FormClosing(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosing
[code]....
To show the form, I use the following (note the (Me) to make the main form the owner of the form; this ensures that it remains visible even when it is out of focus):
vb.net Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Form2.Show(Me) End Sub
Now. When I run my project, and open the Form2 (small form), then hide it again (by 'closing' it), I can no longer close the main form (Form1)! It seems the main form cannot close when the small form still exists (albeit invisible)...?? When I don't use the Me argument in the Show method, I don't get the behavior I want. I know I can set the TopMost property to True but that will also cause it to become visible on top of all the other forms, even windows not part of my application.
I want to make a form that is only closeable if you have the password. I want the user to be prompted with an alert box asking for a password whenever they try to exit the application. I also need to disable Alt+tab, Ctrl+Alt+Del from being used.
I am developing client-Server Application, when Server send a command i want to open the form1 and close the form2, Client side has two forms and one class.when i recive the message from server,this code(written in class) execute but it cannot do anything.
I have this button to open one form, and close the current form. When i click the button, the opened form closes and the program closes. In the button code, i open the one form, and in the one form's FormLoad is to close the first form.
I have a form in Visual Basic 2010 in Design view, and at the top of the form there is a close button along with the minimize and Maximize Buttons. is what I require is when that close button is pressed/clicked I want to close the application
I have a login form which I need to close without the entire application being terminated. I tried using Me.Close() , Me.Hide() as well. The login form is used as the main form as well.
I've made an app with vb 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'm trying to download a file, which works fine, but the progress-bar is showing me no progress and because of that the form doesn't close. Could anyone tell me what is/could be wrong with my code. The weird thing is that the same code is working in my another app. [Code]
How do I Close a Form and then open a new one straight away? Im trying to make a Login for a Program, but I want the Login Box to open first, then disappear when the credentials are correct and a new Form to load.
I have set up a notify icon for my form. I want to make it so that when the user clicks the close button that it doesn't close the form it just takes it to shows the notify icon. They can exit the program from the notify icon. Can someone tell me how to keep it running?
sometimes, when I use Form.close() when debugging my program, although the form is closed, the application is still running. I noticed this behaviour when using the msgbox function.
I try to transfer a vb6 application to vb2010. In the vb6 I start with a login panel that the user enter uid and password autenticate with the DBServer if ok show application main menu and close the login form. the order of the me.close() after the mainform.show() does not change, The application ends.
I have a situation where me.close() doesn't close the form. I have a form with a button with the code seen below. What happens when the button is clicked is the new form shows, but the original form(calling form) is still there. When I go into debug mode, I can see the me.close() execute, but nothing happens (calling form stays open). When I close the second form both forms close. If I comment out the call for the second form to open the first form closes without problem.
Private Sub cmdNext_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdNext.Click Dim f As New frmOrder3
Is there any way to determine whether a form was closed by clicking the "X" button or by calling Me.close? They both fire the FormClosing event, but I need to determine how the form is being closed so I can do different things.
I'm currently in the process of building a text editor type program, and have run into a brick wall. I haven't done VB in years, so I may just need a little reminder on some things. I have coded everything so far as far as opening files, saving them, changing fonts, colors, etc. However, I'm looking to add a Close button to my menu strip that will just close the currently opened file, and not the entire program, while also ask the user if he/she would like to save before closing the file, and then if they select yes, it will show the save dialog, and if not, it will go ahead and close the currently opened item.
I have been making a webbrowser for a while now, everything works well, except i am unable to make the 'open in a new window' button work right. So far i have managed to get a new instance of my form to open with the right url, but i am unable to keep that new form open when the orginal parent form closes.
Code:
Private Sub WebBrowser1_NewWindow(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.NewWindow e.Cancel = True Dim Href As String
VS2010 VB.NET windows form app I have a login form that is my startup form.when uer hits OK I display the main form and close the login form, like this:
PrivateSub OKButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OKButton.Click frmMain.Show()Me.Close()EndSub Problem is the application closes with me.close. Why? How can I close only the login form and leave the main form urnning???
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
The form is an About Us form so has nothing on it only a text box and a OK button.
[Code]...
Why won't the button close the form? I'm puzzled, I tried another button just in case with the same result. UPDATE: I set a break point on Me.Close() and it isn't reaching it when I click the button, I created a new button and the same thing happened.
I have two forms , first one is search and second is showing the data searched by first form search criteria. When the search query runs it takes lot of sql server resources, so I have passed that query to second form, it searches in database and shows the results. But if the results are not found I wish to close the second form in Form load event. As Second forms form load event searches for the record. I tried to use SecondForm.close in SecondForm.load event but failed to do so.
Private Sub txtAIT_Validating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles txtAIT.Validating If txtAIT.Text <> "" Then
[Code]....
In form I have a close/Cancel button, and I set Causes Validation = false, and on its Click I used "Me.Close", but form can not be closed.
Button Works fine, but form can not be closed until text field has been validated.
