I have a button, and when I click that button, I want it to close the current form, and then open the new form.Here's the code I have so far:
Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK.Click
Me.Close
Form1.Show
It closes the current form, and then Form1 only shows for about a quarter of a second. (Appears then disappears really quickly). At least I think that's what it's doing.
the menu in the button is opened with click in the small down arrow, but NOT if click in the button image.

View 2 RepliesI am making a multi form application in VB 08 and need to program a back button (just like a back button in a browser). The code I wrote loops the back function. For example If I start at from 1 and go to 2 and then 3, I need the button to take me from 3 to 2 and then to 1, but my code takes me from 3 to 2 to 3 because it thinks form 3 was the last form before 2.

I'm trying to make a login form thats opened by a button. I know how to make the button open a new form but I want the form to have a admin login,guest login and a new user button that only a logged in admin can open, it should also have a 'only admins can create new users' type messagebox. If your still understanding me I also want it to stay in the file, like you press the login button and it brings you up to the page. I don't know if it could have account control like user from limited to admin.

View 2 RepliesI want to achieve the following:
The user drags text from any open window not related to my application ( like firefox or word, for example) onto button1 on form1 in my application. when he/she does that, a new form (called form2 that contains a richtextbox) will open and the dragged text is directly copied (or inserted) into the richtextbox of the new form. button1 has allowdrop set to true. Beyond that I don't know how to proceed.
I tried:
e.effects = DragDropEffects.Copy
But it seems it is not enough.

View 3 RepliesI have a form which won't open properly under certain circumstances if a particular Button is set to visible = false. Under the same circumstances if the Button is set to visiblbe = true the form does open properly or if the line of code at a certain place where it is set to either visible = true or visible = false is commented out or not there then the form opens properly. If any one of the 5 phases on my form are turned on then the problem doesn't ever occur but if none of the phases are on then the problem does occur. I just found a fix for the situation but I still am not clear about what exactly is going on.

I have form A that has a datagrid on it, I want to be able to double click a row in form A and open form B to that record.
I know how to do that in VBA in Access 2007, but I am having trouble comprehending the procedure for VB 2010.
I've created a very simple form with one button on. I need it so when the form runs, it opens in the bottom right hand corner of the screen regardless of the resolution. It also needs to be always on top of all other applications.
When the buttons pressed, i need it to close all iexplore instances and reopen a fresh instance.
I've tried to search for the answer but to no avail.
I am developing a next gen App for my Email Client for future Windows 8 users. Now when i used to use Visual Studio (Visual Basic) 2008 to develop for Windows 7, I used the command "FORMNAME.show()" And that command would open the form.The Problem i am having now is that "SHOW" is not included and im guessing that there has to be another way to do this. For the Beta version of my app, i created a test Button that i want to open a "SplitPage1" the button is called " btnOpen"?Now to give you an idea what i wanna do, i made buttons on the top right hand corner that are called "File , Edit , View" and so on, and when the user clicks file, i want a spiltpage to open with all the options the user would regularly have when clicking file on a menu tab in a program. the options would be lined up on the left hand side when you hover over lets say "New Email" on the right hand side there will be a short description that will appear saying "create a new email to send" and when clicked on it will take the user back to the mainPage and it redirect the browser to "SendnewEmail url".
View 2 RepliesSo I've made a program in VB 2010, and it has three comboboxes and a button to view. Now lets say my first combobox is "Type of website". The options are "search engines", "social networking" and "news". The second combobox values would depend on what the first combobox value is selected, like if it was "news" the options would be "technology", "uk", "us", and "world".
The third combobox would then use the values in the first and second comboboxes to give even more values, for example if it was "news" and "technology" the values would be "engadget" etc. Then the view button would open the selected website in an internet browser. How would I code this?
