I am trying to make a UI that has a few forms / panels, each for a different "Tab" in the program.
I am guessing that the way to do this is using panels and code like:
Panel1.Visible = False
Panel2.Visible = False
Panel3.Visible = False
Panel4.Visible = True
Would I be correct in assuming that this is the best way to go? (I don't want lots of popup forms in the program, looking for the most streamlined way to go).
Also, if this is the correct way to go how would I go about hiding each panel in the IDE so that I can work on each one seperately using the designer view?
Here is the best example application I can think to use: [URL] Each of the tabs (Proxies, Harvester etc) has an image as the tab (Which I can't find an option to do with TabControl and then displays the container / panel below it

View 3 RepliesI have an application with a few forms. The main form, and 2 others. When I click a button on the main form, one of the others display "attached". When I move the main form or one of the other forms around the 'attached" forms follow. The problem is that sometimes if you have another application on top of one of the forms, and click the other form, both forms dont come to the front. How can I make that happen? I've already tried things like on bringtofront for all the forms but I also don't want to take focus away and if I do that it ends up in a loop of grabbing focus via activation.

View 7 RepliesI am developing an application having multiple screens appearing one after another using vb.net. My requirement is to bring some screens (windows form) in front of the user to take input and some of the forms can work in background (behind other applications) as they are only progress showing forms.
I tried Me.active(), Me.BringToFront(), Me.Focus(), and also some of the APIs like GetForegroundWindow(),SetForegroundWindow(), ShowWindow() etc, but failed to do so.
I tried another set of instructions
Me.TopMost = True
Me.Active()
Me.TopMost = False
Its works for me but once my form come in front, no other application can appear on top untill the my form is selected manually. Although I tried Me.Select() and Me.Focus() after above mentioned set of instructions but failed.

I've been experimenting for an 1 hour. The code didn't show errors. I tested it and it didn't work. Then I found out that I was working on Dialog 2 in Dialog 1 code. So I tried another thing and that didn't work because I can't put Dialog2 code in Dialog1 code.
I always get an exception when I try to switch between different forms in my program. Here is the exception message:
Control.Invoke must be used to interact with controls created on a separate thread
I have attached the forms to very nice variables and this problem occurs when I try to use command like MyForm.Show().
It does not happen when the forms are not attached to variables, but then I have collosal problems with refreshing the textboxes and stuff.
edit;
I have 4 different forms. When I load the main module and main form, in the Sub (...) Handles MyBase.Load I execute the following code:
In module:
Public StartupForm As frmStartup
Public RegularForm As frmRegularUse
Public LoginForm As frmLogin
[Code]....
This is the aproach I worked out to get the full control over refreshing the forms. It is a program for Motorola Scanner with Windows CE. Now, for example, when I enter the correct password in LoginForm, I want to switch to the RegularForm. When I try to use RegularForm.Show() or RegularForm.ShowDialog or RegularForm.BringToFront(), I get an exception. When I try to call the form with the frmRegularUse.Show() I can call the form, but it is being created in a different thread, I believe, so I loose control over it (when I try to put something from the keyboard, there is no response).

I've seen quite a few posts regarding changing cultures, localize cultures, etc... but I couldn't care less about all that auto-stuff.I'm developing this GUI to connect with one of our production machines that will be used by the ppl who will be servicing the machines. Which might well be anywhere around Europe and soon enough Japan and US. Therefore, it was asked already to have language options, cause the guy servicing is likely to be a local.

I might be going about this the wrong way, but I'm trying to create a form that will include a single button, for instance "Enter". When "Enter" is clicked, I want the form to then display the contents of form 2, which might include more buttons and/or a textbox, etc. I want to do all this without ever opening or closing a form.
View 3 RepliesIn my project I have 3 different forms. They all have the same design layout so the only different you see is where the text boxes and buttons are placed. Right now I have 3 buttons at the top of each form that Im using to switch between the forms

I know there is probably a much better way of doing this, and faster. I dont' like the delay between each window showing/hiding. what options do I have to make this run better? Since I have the same design background is there I way I can just hide and show just the controls instead of showing/hiding the entire window?
I've been looking all over the internet, and I couldn't find any decent answers. Obviously, two things to know:1) I'm using VB.2) The Forms are all FULL SCREEN, with the code
Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized

I have some friends who are 'old-school' VB6 database developers and I was telling them about .NET and its features, specifically ADO.NET. In our conversation, they brought up the following reasons why they would rather stick with ADO than move to ADO.NET: The Dataset is disconnected (What if power fails?)
The same amount of code still has to be written The new options of Dataset, BindingSource and TableAdapter seem confusing the same code is written programatically access the Database, all that changes is how that command is laid out. Why ADO.NET is 'better' than ADO with regards to data access when it comes to Windows Forms applications. What does ADO.NET provide that ADO does not? What does it do better than ADO? I'd like examples that do not involve LINQ.
I am trying to have any only one form type eg Countries, Projects, or Vendors etc. open at the same time.

I have tried a number of things like BringToFront, ActivateMdiChild, etc.

im looking for a way to bring a form into second "z" position. wow this question is hard to ask. in other words i have two windows one that is a main editing window and a second one that is behind that one. the reason for this is that the first is partially clear with extended windows aero glass and the window behind offers a purely for design aspect to it. the probem is that when you have multiple windows open such as a webbrowser and my program (for you multitaskers) when the webbrowser window comes to focus as the top window then you click on my window and it becomes top window the webbrowser is now stuck in between my windows. so is there a code to make all other windows on you desktop be sent to the back except for a certin one. or a code to bring a window to the second "z" possition as in not the front but back one?

View 3 RepliesI have an application that has a timer within the main form. Every 5 minutes it checks the database for notifications and if any are due it displays the details in a messagebox. If the main form is the active form, it works fine (message displayed). Even if I create another form and display that modally, the message is still displayed. If I minimize this second form, the message is displayed.
However, if I am writing an email when the timer is called, the message box isn't displayed on top.Is there any way to make sure the MessageBox.ShowDialog method always displays the dialog as topmost?I have tried using a new form instead of MessageBox.Show, setting the TopMost property to true, but that didn't work, either.
I want to show a MessageBox in a VB.NET application that has special markup for its text. More specifically, I want to display an unordered list. I tried doing it by wrapping the text in HTML tags (which Java Swing supports for example, if I'm not mistaken) and working with <ul> and <li>. This did how to do it without creating a completely custom messagebox class?

I teach VB in college, using the Express edition. I was doing an exercise with my class today using the MessageBox.Show() method in a Windows Forms application. But when I tried entering it in the edit window, it gave me the following error message: 'show' is not a member of 'MessageBox' and it did not show up in the Intellisense box. Most of my students' computers did work with that method, but one or two of them didn't. Meanwhile, I had to revert to the MsgBox() function to get through the exercise.
