What Event To Check On FormClosing
Jun 2, 2012
I have to write some code for my app that if the application crashes or my machine crashes or for whatever reason the application closes abnormally and the user was in the process of making changes, I need to write some code that will at least ask the user if they wish to save their changes to the database.
With that said, what I have done thus far is set a flag in specific "TextChanged" events of certain controls. When the above scenario happens, I check this flag in the "FormClosing" event. In testing this, I selected a record from a DataViewGrid which then populated certain controls where this flag is set. I realize that at that point the "TextChanged" event is fired because the fields receive a value and that boolean flag is set to "True".
My issue is that this flag gets set even though the controls get populated but no physical data changes have been made. So, what I'm wondering is whether or not their is another event I can check other than the "TextChanged" event that will truly detect if any new changes have been made and at that point set the boolean flag to "True".

I have this notepad that is all ready to go now except for one thing..when the user uses the X to close the form she does get a confirm exit without saving changes dialog box, the problem is that she did in fact save her changes. So for some UnGodly reason ...,, my event is not picking up the fact that changes have been made.lution to this?? I have been up and down the net LOL..looking for ONE that works here is the code that I have going on for that event:
Private bIsChanged As Boolean = True
#Region "events"
Private Sub frmMyNotes_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As

I have a single windows form application that is running in system tray icon.If the user press X button of the windows form a messagebox is displayed with Yes and No ( Yes ->close the form---No->keep the form running in system tray icon).I was thinking to prevent the scenario when the user open another instance of the application when there is already an instance running so i have used this code :
If Process.GetProcessesByName(Process.GetCurrentProcess.ProcessName).Length> 1 Then
MessageBox.Show("Another instance is running", "Error Window", MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation)
Application.Exit()
End If
The problem is that when i want to test this the message is displayed but after i press ok, a new messagebox appears (that one from Private Sub Form_FormClosing ).If i choose NO i will have to instance running!I have read that Application.Exit fires the Form_FormClosing event.Is there any possibility to cancel the triggering of the Form_FormClosing event?'this is the formclosing
procedure
Private Sub Form_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
Try
Dim response As MsgBoxResult
response = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to exit", CType(MsgBoxStyle.Question + MsgBoxStyle.YesNo, MsgBoxStyle), "Confirm")
[code]....

I'm trying to give the user a chance to cancel FormClosing of MDI Parent by throwing a "Are you sure?" msgbox with an e.cancel however when FormClosing is invoked by MDI Parent, all MDI Children close first, before the msgbox appears.
I was wondering if there's an easier way to prevent MDI Children from closing rather than having to e.cancel every child form's FormClosing until I get a positive response to close and then push all the close events on the children because that seems like too much of a hassle if you have a lot of MDI Children.
EDIT: I guess the only solution I can find is adding If e.CloseReason = CloseReason.MdiFormClosing Then e.Cancel = True to the FormClosing event and using ApplicationExit instead.

I have a simple Windows Form that hosts property controls at runtime. When the user clicks Close [X] I want to keep the window and its contents alive rather than killing it by handling the FormClosing event, canceling the event and simply hiding the form.
That's fine but at close of the application I need to actually close the window. I implemented the below but it feels kludgey. Is there a simpler, more clever way to handle this situation? (The form's controller calls KillForm explicitly after it receives a closing event from the main window.)[code]...

I have a hidden form in my app. When i call that form's Close() method fromanother form to close it, the form's FormClosing() and FormClosed() eventsare not raised. Is this behaviour normal and expected?

This is for a WindowsCE project,
Windows WM6 does not allow you to hook in WndProc easily as this has been hidden, I've built a class that inherits from MesageWindow, which allows me to receive Messages as intended.
What I'm trying to do is create an event that will return a value Boolean bypassing base.WndProc(ref m);
basically saying I've handled the event it does not have to, similar to how the Form_closing event would work e.g e.Cancel will cancel he closing off the form.
I've not finished my WndProc function as of yet but you should get the picture.
Code:
public delegate void WndProcEventHander(object sender, WndProcEventArgs e);
public event WndProcEventHander OnWndProc;
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _
Handles Me.Load, Me.FormClosing
MessageBox.Show("form_load")[code]....
While closing the form I observed that the Form1_FormClosing method is fired first, and then Form1_Load second. Why is this order chosen? Why doesn't Form1_Load get fired/entered first, and then Form1_FormClosing second?How does .NET choose which method to fire first, of the two that handle the same event?

I have a code snippet that I want to run when the app is closing. So, I used FormCLosing event. But now i wanna place a confirmation message for exiting. Like, if the user clicks the Exit(X) button, there'll be a prompt, if he clicks NO, then the app will not close and revert to previous state. Now I find that hard to achieve using FormClosing event. because it'll get executed no matter what button the user clicks.

when closing the form, checkchanges() is run in order to check if there is data changes..in checkchanges(), i compare data in database and form..if data in form is not same as in database, it consider data has been changed..thus, if there is changes, user will be promt to save data before close..the problem is, when my form is closing, the checkchanges() always show no changes, even when i made changes..this is because, when data is compared (between database and form), the form is already commit changes in database..that is why , when data is compared, it is actually compare the same value...
For example:
*when form load*
database: employee number = 1009
textbox: employee number = 1009
[CODE]...
That is why checkchanges() always show no changes.because it commit changes to database before it made comparison..what should i do to prevent from commit changes when form is closing?

I'm using custom events activation/desactivation in one of my class. Let's say :
AddHandler trv_treeview.BeforeExpand, AddressOf sub_LoadNextLevel
and
RemoveHandler trv_treeview.BeforeExpand, AddressOf sub_LoadNextLevel
In another part of the code, I now need to know "Is there an event attached or not". In my search I found that Vb hold an hidden private variable <Eventname>Event. I've tried trv_treeview.BeforeExpandEvent but with no success. How is it possible, in Vb, to check how many Events are already attached to a method?

In my application I have more then one form/dialogs, of course. My start up (main) form is called "StartForm" and when I want to access to some other dialogs, I open up dialog and I put StartForm on ".Enabled = False" so that user can't access to that form even if he click somewhere on it (StartForm is maximized to full screen and dialogs are small so StartForm can be seen in background when you open dialog). Ok, this works fine until I click on my application "link" in task bar...then, only my StartForm is visible and it's ".Enabled = False" so I can't do anything...I must kill process in task manager. Same thing happens when I open some other application and then come back to my application.

I want to check the state of a certain key, but only inside timer event. So my sub will be something like.......
Private Sub Timer2_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer2.Tick
Need code here along the lines of an old fashioned... 'If Input="Q" then......"
End Sub
I'm not sure how to check for keyboard input except for inside a 'Keydown' event.

I have a form with 2 datagridviews on it, each connected to to table in a database: datagridview1 and datagridview2.Datagridview1 has a column called names and a column called recievers.Datagridview2 has a column called senders and a checkbox column in it.
The user will first select a row in datagridview1 and then click a check box in datagridview2.What i want to do is when the user clicks a check box in datagridview2, i want it to copy the value in the "names" column of the same row, to the receivers column of the selected row in datagridview1.

It looks like there is a bug in the DateTimePicker control, because I don't find any event specific for the changing the check state of the checkbox, only the ValueChanged event seems available. So that event should trigger every time the date in a dtp is changed manualy, or by choosing a date from the calender or when the checkbox in the dtp is checked or unchecked by clicking on it, the event ValueChanged should be triggered. But it doesn't do that all the time.

I am creating a program in which there is a listview control with many items contained in it. It also has checkboxes for each of them. I am trying to get it so that when you check the checkbox next to an item, it removes the item from the list. I am using this code:
Private Sub ListView1_ItemCheck(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemCheckEventArgs) Handles ListView1.ItemCheck
ListView1.Items.RemoveAt(e.Index)
End Sub
When I run this however, and check an item, it gives me this error (I am checking the first item in the listview, which would mean the index is 0): InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'index'. Parameter name: index
I've have been testing this code out for both the listview events ItemCheck and ItemChecked. How is 0 out of the index range? Wouldn't it be the first item in the listview, in which case it should remove the item.

I am currently using DevExpress 11.2 within Visual Studio 2010. Currently I am using two DevExpress.XtraBars.BarEditItem which gives me two check boxes (with a label) in my menu bar (DevExpress.XtraBars.Bar) at the top of my windows form. Right now I have working code so that when one checkbox is clicked it unchecks/checks the other checkbox and executes code specific to that box. This works.
My problem is that the DevExpress.XtraBars.BarEditItem does not have a check changed event. Currently I am using the EditValueChanged event as the checked check box is set to True and the unchecked checkbox is set to false. However the EditValueChanged event isn't called until the checkbox looses focus. This doesn't work for me as I want it instantaneous. I looked into the itemClick and ItemPress events but they don't give me the new editvalue and if someone presses on the caption (rather than the box portion) it still fires. Is there someway to get the event right away??
I am looking in two different older projects (both in Visual Studio 2008 and using DevExpress 9.2 and 10.2) and it looks like it does everything the same way as me yet the EditValueChanged event fires right away without any lose of focus.

I am writing a User Control. Into each control I am loading a custom biz object. Because the biz object implements IDataErrorInfo interface I am able to use the ErrorProvider control on the user control.
I am binding the ErrorProvider to the biz object like this:
Me.ErrorProvider1.DataSource=MyBizObject This is all working perfectly EXCEPT. The validation is happening (and therefore I am displaying the blinkey error signs next to all feilds) as soon as the User control is loaded into the host form.
Each biz object implements a SAVE method and I want the validate to not happen until the save event is triggered on the biz object.

I'm curious if there is a "check all" kind of thing for a tablelayoutpanel? To explain, say I have TableLayoutPanel1 with 6 radio buttons and I'm doing an error check to make sure that at least one radio button has been selected during a click event. Do I have to do If / and with all 6 radio buttons? Or is there something like "If TableLayoutPanel1.checked(obviously not this) = false then".

I'm having a bit of a problem getting my application to close properly. Basically I have one main form from which all other forms open. If a user tries to close that main form, I want to bring up a MessageBox asking if they want to exit the application.However, when I try to do that it asks the question twice. It seems that the Application.Exit() is triggering the FormClosing event again for some reason, but I don't know of another way to exit the application. BTW, the main form isn't the startup form so I can't use the option to close when the startup form closes.

I've read thru Iceplug's tutorial on control arrays and got it working. I tried to add a new event by basically copying his click event code and calling it a doubleclick event. I used the proper addhandler and assigned the correct name to my sub. I have the click event changing the background color to blue and the doubleclick event changing the background color to green. The background color does not change to green. Why?
