VS 2010 Make Multiple Forms Have The Same OnClosing Event?
Aug 21, 2011
how to have all forms have the same on closing event with the exception of one form (Form1). I want the forms to show Form1 when one of the other forms is closed. I know there is a way to do it, I just can't work out how.
My code at the moment assumes that each form will have a boolean declared on it as false that will only turn true if you use a legitimate way off of the page (i.e. a regular button on the form). If you instead click the exit button on the title panel it will find the boolean is false and show Form1.
So the only problem I really have is getting the code to apply to all forms without writing it for all of them.

I am designing a degree audit program for school, and have a listbox where all the classes needed are contained. I have a separate form for each year (Freshman, sophomore, etc.), which also contain listboxes which are empty. The idea is to add the selected class from the first listbox into the empty listbox in the appropriate year form. However, to do this I would like to have the same listbox (the first one with all the classes) appear on each form, but still reflect changes made to it from other listboxes (classes transferred out of it).
To do this, would I need to create a listbox with global properties? Or would it be better to create a global function containing all the classes and have its contents called to the appropriate listbox?

I don't have an example code, but recently figured out how to make a single sub handle the keydown event for multiple text boxes.What I would like to know is if it is simple enough to have the object name that is sending the event instead of "microsoft..text: 54654" (sender.ToString in a debug window) type of return. I don't know how to make use of that.

I have a problem with my program. I wanted to know how i can make a global variable like an integer be recognised in any form so in essence linking to two forms together. Also how do I store an integer that has been typed by the user into the textbox? This integer will then be stored in the global variable. I have got two forms, one is for the user to interact with and the other is going to be used for displaying the global variable.

I need to make a program (or if someone wants to make it for me, feel free to do so) that has a starter form with a combobox where you can select different sizes, like 2x2, 4x4, 6x6 and so on. When i then press the button to choose size, a new form would pop up , with 4 different grids of checkboxes, (white, red, green, blue).Do i have to make each form (frm2x2, frm4x4) and make each individual checkbox, or is there some other much greater solution?Because, in the end, i don't feel like naming 576 different checkboxes for just 1 form.
After all that has been made, it would be saved to a text file, with 0 being anything thats unchecked, 1 is white, 2 is red and so on. And it would look something similar to this:

I have used CSV files before for a simple database of about 12,000 items - this was a simple one page form... Now I want to have the same database but with the data available to multiple forms at the same time.. eg.. Form 1 displaying persons 1,2,3,5,7 name, addy, phone etc and form 2 pulling info for persons 2,3,4,8... Is this possible with CSV files?? or even XML?... The only other thing is that I do it all in .NET 2.0....

I have an event in a module, like this:
vb.net
Module Module1 Public Event Event1(Value as Boolean)End Module
I want to be able to handle this event from different forms. This is what I tried to do...
vb.net
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Event1Handler(Value As Boolean) Handles WindowsApplication1.Event1 End SubEnd Class
But I get a squiggly line under WindowsApplication1 that says Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types. I tried to swap Module1 in, but same thing. I tried without anything in front of Event1, but still nothing.

I have been going a couple of directions as I learn and try to figure out more. Basically, I have a form that has a tab control that contains 6 tabs and tons of controls on each tab. They are like Orders, Invoice, Customer Info, Quotes... What I would ultimately like to do is have individual forms that fit into the tab with a parent/child relationship as well as be able to not use them in a parent/child type of relationship so that they can be used as stand alone forms.
I have done something like this, but the form moves around. I would like to lock it into the top left so that everything lines up.
Dim frm As New Form2
frm.Show()
SetParent(frm.Handle, tab1.Handle)
I also have to pass values from sibling to sibling, but I think that I can handle that if I can come up with a good format.
So overall, I would to have forms that could be in a tab or just displayed as a child not in the tab.

I have written a code and tried linking up groupboxes from my input form called input.vb and the output form called results.vb.
[Code]...
I have used the above codes to access groupboxes from both forms. However, at run time I get errors saying "InvalidCastException was unhandled" and below that it says "Conversion from string to DOuble is not valid". This error points to a value in a group box that is actually hidden or disabled.

Starting from my understanding about Background worker control, I understands that the background worker runs the code in its "DoWork" method in a seperate thread, while ProgressChanged and RunWorkerCompleted events are executed on the main thread.In my senerio, I report the progress and under an specail condition my application displays a message box to the user in "ProgressChanged" method using MessageBox.Show(). and in "Run Worker Completed" event the application finalize some work. There the sequence is important, suppose that the message is of Yes or No type and finalization depends on it. Now when i run my application, the background worker triggers "ProgressChanged", but as soon as backgroundWorker's cancelAsync() is called the program leaves the current "ProgressChanged" method and executes "RunWorkerCompleted" code first.How can i make sure that the "Run Worker Completed" code executes only after the completion of ProgressChanged method.

I have the requirement to create an application that has multiple front ends developed using Windows Forms, WPF, ASP and Compact Framework Mobile Forms.I would like to be able to create a series of obejct representing the business logic and have this logic accessible from the various front ends available. My first thought was to use remoting as I'd like to be able to pass the business objects back and forth between client and server but the compact framework doesn't support remoting and also transferring a full framework business object to a compact framework business object doesn't seem possible.My next thought was to use web services but again the passing of business objects seems to be very hard to accomplish. Without doing this I would have to create individual web methods for each business operation.
Finally my next option is to use sockets and write the whole client/server logic within some classes and expose them to the UI/Business layer. My only problem with this is it is not scaleable should the number of clients increase dramatically whereas using remoting or web services I can host the solution via ASP.Net.Does anybody have an ideas on the best way forward for this or even have any input on how they would write an application that required a windows form, wpf, asp website and mobile device GUI all of which want to use the same business logic?

I'm trying to make custom ListBox with some graphics. Base is ItemCollection - each item contains Panel, 2x label and 2x picturebox. What each panel have to do:
- Change backcolor on MouseEnter and set color back when MouseLeave occurs.
- On MouseDown(LMB) - Panel stays "selected" - different color.
Problem: I can't access multiple panels at a time(and I need to), just one via sender as in function. Of course, I can do it hacky way, but I want to do it effective and regular. Is ItemCollection the right solution or should I do it just like an array of panels? Also I want them in one "box", ItemCollection is good for it.
Second "problem": I need to make labels "merged" in panels, when i MouseEnter them(labels), background color on that panel sets to my default color. when i MouseClick them(labels), nothing happens (need to "select" parent panel). It can be again fixed with hacky way, just disable labels - but then the colors of labels are unchangeable.

Is there a better way to make a form with multiple buttons opening different things than having a form that has lots group boxes for each tab. So in the begining each box will be invisible and when you click the button the corresponding group box will become visible. Is there any other way?It will be like a background image and it'll have buttons that will mask it with invisible buttons. when the button is clicked it will open the corresponding group box.

I have googled high and low to find an answer to this but I must be searching wrong.I have an application which has a listview displaying some items that are stored in a SQL Compact database. I am using a second form to add new items to this list directly into the database.When the second form closes I want to call the sub in my first form to refresh the list from the database.
How can I get it to fire the form1 sub routine on the close event of form2

i was doing a fair amount of programming many years ago, like 10 it feels like, so I'm sorely not up to date on how my newly downloaded Visual Basic Express expects me to communicate with it.I am writing a program that pulls a cell from a database after the user has gone through several forms to determine which cells they want. When I write it like that, it doesn't sound very efficient, but I've designed it this way for usability.Here's where I have a problem: Should I store the path the user takes in a string, an array, what?
Here's an example:Someone wants baseball stats and trivia. They run my program, main form pops up, they select National League button, the NL Form pops up. Now the way my program is set up right now, is there are two ListBoxes on the form, one is populated, and as the user selects a Team from ListBox1, it jumps to ListBox2. Once they've selected all the teams they want info for, they click a button Next.
What I now need the program to do is show the next form "Team: name" once for each team, and insert the name of the team on the form in the appropriate label which I'll have blank. This form will also do the Listbox thing except the first listbox will populated with Topics like HR Stats, Pitching Stats, Coach History, etc.

Launch a dialogue window from the main form, and then another dialogue window from that dialogue window. If you close the second dialogue window and call dispose the main form vanishes under any other open windows. This doesn't happen by closing a dialogue window normally, but I am attempting (rightly or wrongly) to stop memory useage creeping up by disposing of it.
So, the question is - what method can be employed to maintain the position of the windows?
