I have multiple forms, I need to close the current form -without clicking any button- and directly open another form in this project.. i am using show and close methods but either the 2 forms are appearing together or the current form is not appearing at all.
View 1 RepliesI am using Visual Studio 2010..I have multiple forms and when I hit close button(red X, top-right) from any form, i want the project to close entirely.Now when I do this, this does not happen by default. I always have to click on the 'stop' button in VS for it to close.
View 6 RepliesI have a form with multiple datagridviews. On save the entire dataset will be serialized to a strongly typed property bound to a sql varbinary(max) Works fine. Of course the current "dirty" cell will not be saved as mentioned here :
[URL]
My problem is the user could be coming from any one of 20 datagridviews when they click SAVE. Is there any way, short of checking for a dirty cell in each datagridview to commit any dirty cell before the save ( clicking another textbox control before the save does the trick but calling the focus() of that textbox prior to the save does not ) I was thinking perhaps catching the event of leaving the grid but it seems the base problem is clicking a button (for reasons I think I understand) does not fire lostfocus events for the current control and it doesn't seem the click handler args knows what the last current selected control is.
Is there any way to determine whether a form was closed by clicking the "X" button or by calling Me.close? They both fire the FormClosing event, but I need to determine how the form is being closed so I can do different things.
View 7 RepliesI have set up a notify icon for my form. I want to make it so that when the user clicks the close button that it doesn't close the form it just takes it to shows the notify icon. They can exit the program from the notify icon. Can someone tell me how to keep it running?
View 2 RepliesWhen I use
Me.Close()
Form1.Show()
It closes the whole app.
How would I change it so that it only closes the current form while opening a new one? EDIT: I put [Not Resolved] Because I accidently pressed the resolved thing
I have been developing my application for a while and need some advice on the closing. I want a code to be run when the close button is clicked but ONLY when it is clicked.
I have dried the form.disposed but that fires whenever the form is closed from the code. I just want it to do it when the close button is clicked.If you don't understand it I will give an example. I have a registation form that is the first thing a user who has not used the app before can see. When they click the close button I want the application to exit through Application.Exit(), however when they have registered the form is closed from the code through
formlogin.show()Me.close()However the Me.closE() triggers the form.disposed event and thus the application exits completely which I don't want. I know I can use the form.hide() but that keeps it running which makes the app more resource intensive.

View 3 RepliesI have a main form that has a button with which a smaller form is shown. Think of the smaller form as the Find/Replace dialog in many applications, such as Notepad. It's important that the form is (what I believe is called) modal. What I mean is that it always stays on top of the main form. I ensure that by calling the Show method with "Me" as the owner argument. Whenever the small form loses focus it will not disappear into the background but stay visible (albeit out of focus). If you don't understand open up Notepad and have a look at the behavior of the Find/Replace dialog.
Here's my problem: instead of actually closing the form when the X is pressed, I want it to simply Hide itself, so its position and the state of any controls (checkboxes etc) is preserved automatically.To achieve this I simply cancel the FormClosing event and Hide it:
vb.net
Private Sub Form2_FormClosing(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosing
[code]....
To show the form, I use the following (note the (Me) to make the main form the owner of the form; this ensures that it remains visible even when it is out of focus):
vb.net
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Form2.Show(Me)
End Sub
Now. When I run my project, and open the Form2 (small form), then hide it again (by 'closing' it), I can no longer close the main form (Form1)! It seems the main form cannot close when the small form still exists (albeit invisible)...?? When I don't use the Me argument in the Show method, I don't get the behavior I want. I know I can set the TopMost property to True but that will also cause it to become visible on top of all the other forms, even windows not part of my application.
I want to Animate or put styles when a Form opens up. May be it should break into pieces as it opens up and come together... something like that. Any kind of style.

how can i make my Form not to close but to Hide when user click on the "X" button on the form?
As i have a NotifyIcon that contain an Exit menu which actually does the Form Closing (i don't want the Form's "X" to close the form but to hide it).
I'm currently in the process of building a text editor type program, and have run into a brick wall. I haven't done VB in years, so I may just need a little reminder on some things. I have coded everything so far as far as opening files, saving them, changing fonts, colors, etc. However, I'm looking to add a Close button to my menu strip that will just close the currently opened file, and not the entire program, while also ask the user if he/she would like to save before closing the file, and then if they select yes, it will show the save dialog, and if not, it will go ahead and close the currently opened item.

View 5 RepliesWhen the user clicks the Exit button it closes the forms and if there was an open file it asks the user is they would like to save. But after the application closes there is still memory being held in Processes by the application. However, when pressing the [X] in the top of the form the application closes again but in this instance it is not held in Processes. How do I write the close for Exit to take into account how the [X] works and close the application cleanly?
