VS 2010 - Cursor Not Blinking When Form Opened?
Jun 29, 2011On my vb.net 2010 form the textbox which has tab stop 0 does get the focus when the form is opened but the cursor is not blinking. I know textbox 0 has the focus because if you start typing right after the form opens the characters show there. The cursor property of textbox 0 is set to Ibeam. This is my first-ever VB 2010 form. My 2008 forms work fine and my workaround is to do the project in 2008.

View 1 RepliesRun A Sub From A Form That Has Not Been Opened
Nov 29, 2009If I need to run a sub from another form, I would normally do something like this:
DirectCast(Application.OpenForms("frmTest"), frmTest).PublicSub()
How would I run the sub if the user never opened the form? The form is an options form and it may not be opened by the user if they opt out of changing the default values. I don't want to change the location of the sub because the sub relies on a lot of info on that form.
I tried Google and playing around with intellisense, but I've come up with nothing so far.
Find The First Record On Form From A Combobox In Visual Basic 2010
Jul 14, 2010This is well documented and easy to accomplish in Access, but how does one accomplish this in Visual Basic 2010 on a form designed in Visual Studio that is bound to a SQL Server database?
The idea is to create a combobox that holds 2 columns - a primary key value and a unique value such as a [Company Name] or a [Student Name]. The user would then find the appropriate record within the combobox and the code behind the combobox control would then perform a .findfirst method that would NOT filter out all other records, but would rather use selectedvalue primary key column value to move to the selected record.
I am currently getting into VS 2010 & revisiting VB having been programing in ACCESS & VBA for years. In the Access/VBA environment it is very common to have to find a given record on a given form using this method, but it would appear to be poorly documented if in fact not commonly used in the VB.NET/VS community.

View 1 RepliesVS 2010 Font Scaling Re-opened
Dec 28, 2010I have a picturebox that has an image on it. The user will be able to draw rectangles on that image, and the rectangle will have a string drawn into it. Frankly, I have no idea about the shape or size of these rectangles except to say that they will have a "reasonable" size to them. What I am trying to figure out is how best to draw the string inside the rectangle. Obviously, the size of the string is determined by the font, and I can measure this size with MeasureString in the Paint event for the PB. The size of the string as drawn must be less than the size of the rectangle such that the string fits entirely within the rectangle.
The problem is that MeasureString takes a font so that the size of the string can be determined in that font. That seems to require that I create a new font object, measure the string in that font, check to see that it is less than the width of the rectangle (don't have to worry about the height), and if the string is too big, reduce the size of the font and try again. This seems to have the potential to create and destroy plenty of font objects for the sole purpose of checking sizes. Is there a better way? How about a method that figures the maximum font size that can be used to get a string of pixel length X? The second half of this problem is something I haven't even begun looking at yet, but somebody has probably got an answer that will save me some time, so I'll toss it out here:It is possible that my rectangles will be high and narrow, in which case few strings will fit horizontally in the rectangle, so I might as well draw them vertically. Is there an easy way to draw text vertically rather than horizontally?
Closing Opened Form From Another Form?
Dec 29, 2011I have this form called gamePlay form. This form is showed by my loading form. When the gamePlay form is showed the loading form is closed. At the gameplay form i will be opening another form called congrats form. At congrats form I need to close the gamePlay form. How should I close the gameplay form from the congrats form. I tried creating an instance of the gamePlay form and obviously the gamePlay form won't close since the instance that opened gamePlay was not the one who closed it. I know it's a bit confusing.

View 4 RepliesClose Opened Form In SplitContainer Panel2
Jun 4, 2012I have a master form which uses the SplitContainer control. The PANEL1 of the split carries the MenuStrip and Panel2 is used to call related external forms
Code (refer below): Function ResetSplitContainerPanel2 clears the Panel2 and loads the new form using the SetFormAttributesToLoadInPanel2
Issue: Although SettingSplitContainer.Panel2.Controls.Clear() clears the Panel2 but the form still maintains the form in the editable mode. If I call the same form again, I can see the values which I typed earlier
Output Expected: On Load of new form, the previous loaded form in PANEL2 should be disposed completely

SettingSplitContainer.Panel2.Controls.Clear()
End Sub

Closing Form After Large XML File Is Opened?
Oct 21, 2011I'm working through an example in a programming book and stumbling across a problem that I can't seem to figure out. The program in question is basically a very basic 'level viewer' for a tile based bitmap game (its a game creation book). The source code from the author was written for Visual Studio 2005, and I am using 2010. The source code imports fine and the program runs correctly.
I built the same program on my own, starting from scratch in VS2010. The program works like this: It opens a tile set palette (bitmap form), then uses an XML file to create a 'level'. The XML file indicates which tile goes where on the 'level'. The XML file is roughly 1.9MB and has roughly16,000 entries (the program creates a level that is 4096 x 4096 pixels using 32 x 32 pixel tiles).
Running and closing the program from source code runs exactly as expected. Running the program from my version runs exactly as expected. Closing it does not. It basically hangs up for about 2 minutes on close. (for reference every loads in about 3 seconds). I've determined that it is the XML file that is causing the problem by excluding the portion where it loads the XML. In that case it closes fine. If I cut it down to just a few records, my program closes fine as well. So it seems like the program is having trouble dumping the XML document at close.
I've tried to track down any differences between the source code and my code, and the only thing that I have found is that the References in mine are all using .NET version 4.0 and the references in the source are using mostly 2.0 and some 3.5 (System.Data.DataSetExtensions, System.XML.Ling.dll, and System.Core.dll)
The code for the entire form is:
Imports System.Xml
Public Class Form1
Public Structure tilemapStruct

View 1 RepliesBorderless MDI Child Form Border Flashes When Opened
Mar 22, 2010I have a series of MDI child forms I page through to present learning material, all of which are borderless and framed within a main interface form. Each form has its FormBorderStyle set to None, and the form's Text property is blank. I am loading each fom on demand, rather than setting up a stack and pushing one to the front, as this is simpler for me with my limited programming experience.The problem is that as each form is opened/shown, the border briefly flashes in the centre of the ParentForm before docking in the top left corner as programmed. I have even tried coding the Form's Load event to make sure the border is set to None, as shown below:[code]This makes sure there is not a brief delay between the old form closing and the new one showing.

Sep 27, 2007Every once in awhile when I double click on a form in design mode (Windows Forms Application) that contains a tab control, all of the controls on the tab control disappear.

View 2 RepliesVb 2005 Form Inheritance - Multiple Forms Are Opened?
Nov 7, 2011Several years ago, I created a nifty data entry form that is called from a main menu. Due to recent user requirements, I had to create another form that is very similar to the data entry form. To prevent duplicate coding and testing, I created a class to inherit the existing data entry form. The issue is when I leave the class and return to a sub menu, the class is opening the main menu and the sub menu. How do I only return to the sub menu without the main menu appearing? Here is a snippet of my code. You'll have to scroll down to the very bottom to see the section that is causing issues. BTW, I coded the application in such a way that only one form should be open at a time.
frmMenu (main menu). This is nothing more than a bunch of buttons that allows the user to perform various functions.If user clicks button #1, open the data entry form:
Dim objFrm As New frmDataEntry
bolOkToCloseForm = True
Me.Close() '--- close the menu screen
