Control The "layer" Any Given Panel Is At By Using Bring To Front?

Jun 21, 2010

In the VB IDE you control the "layer" any given panel is at by using Bring to Front, Send to Back.

But lets say sometimes I want one in front, and sometimes I want a different one in front.

Is there any way, programatically, to do this?

Bring Another Application Dialog To Front?

Jun 12, 2010

I'm starting a 3rd party application using system.process then initiating some work by sending commands with SendKeys. Towards the end of the process a dialog (YesNo) may appear, the user needs to click depending on their choice.This dialog will always appear behind my application (and any others opened or handled since) Is it possible to give the dialog top focus? (Or at maybe the application which is minimised by mine - assuming this action will keep it minimised while giving the dialog focus)

Forms That Shown Together - Bring On Front

Jan 30, 2009

I 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.

VS 2005 Window Bring To Front

Oct 24, 2009

So I have this code to make a "windows taskbar". When you click on an item, it's supposed to bring that window to the front. The only problem is that's not happening. When I use Debug.WriteLine, it has the right window title, except it doesn't come to the front. What's wrong? There is no EntryPointNotFoundException or anything, it just doesn't bring the window to the front.

VS 2008 - Maximize And Bring To Front IDE Of Another App

Aug 27, 2010

I have an application of which only 1 instance can run at the same time. Thus in the StartUp event I check for this to be true, and if not close the new instance started. At the same time though I'd like the application to switch automatically to the instance already running. By finding the processid of that instance and using appactivate this is working properly, except when the instance already running is minimized. It then switches to it, but since the instance is minimized, its ide will not show.

I need to use something like sendmessage, but am not able to find how.
-Since I already have the processid, could someone tell me how to use code to maximize and bring to the front the ide of another currenly minimized application?

Bring MDI Child To Front By Click Of A Button?

May 28, 2010

I have been working on a small text editor where you can have more than one file open in the same form. When you click new, it adds a ToolStripSplitButton to a MenuStrip and makes a new form2 as a child.

My question is, when I click the ToolStripSplitButton, I want the MDI child that "owns" that button to come to the top. This is the code for adding the buttons:

Private Sub NewToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NewToolStripMenuItem.Click
Dim f As New Form2()

[Code].....

All I have to show to front is Me.BringToFront() (in form2) but that doesn't do it. I have been looking for a long time now to find the answer. How can I bring it to the front?

BringToFront() Doesn't Actually Bring Dialog To The Front?

Mar 6, 2010

I've been having a slight problem with making a Window pop up. When I call it using ShowDialog(), it's supposed to be brought to the front (when in its code, Activated is called.) And yet it does not come to the front right away, it remains behind the Command Prompt. (My actual program.) Here is the code:

Dim
newconfig As
New
Configure 'Configure is the Form object.

Forms :: Bring An Already Running Application In Front?

Jul 19, 2010

I 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 am generally following this tutorial, the main differences being I'm using 2008 R2 Express and Windows Forms, he is using 2005 & ASP.NET Web Site:'m building a minimalist Windows Form project for learning purposes. So I'm using a 1-table database with 2 columns, ContactID & Name. I added a dataset file, 'ContactsDataSet.xsd' to my project and added a single minimalist table adapter with just a fill() & getdata() method.Then I added a DataGridView control and connected it to the ContactsDataSet to confirm it was working and that worked fine. I ran it and it filled up with data as expected. Everything up to this point was auto-generated code.

Class - Add A Readonly Property To Layer That Is Calculated Using Some Layer Information?

Nov 30, 2010

I am working in VB.NET defining my own classes. I have 5 classes, Policy, Coverage, CoverageCollection, Layer, and LayerCollection. Policy has a bunch of data items, one of which is of type CoverageCollection. Coverage has a bunch of data items, one of which is of type LayerCollection.

Policy
private id as Long
private name as String[code].....

Then I do like "dim p as Policy". So, iIn order to get to properties on a Layer, I reference it like p.cov(0).lyr(0).face. What I am trying to do is add a readonly property to Layer that is calculated using some Layer information but also using something from Coverage (or even Policy). I can take this in as a parameter to the property, but I think there should be a way to get at Coverage/Policy information since I am "under" it already. Is there a way to do this?

Building A Database Control Layer DLL For Project?

Jun 10, 2011

I'm building a database control layer DLL for my project.HelpDB is the project.HDB is the class name.I've written a few methods for connecting to the db, querying, and the usual.I've recently included a public class HDB_ParamValue in HDB to handle query parameters.

[Code]...

Note 1: I'm moving from VB6, so you'll appreciate that I have little experience with this real OOP. If there is a link or article you can recommend that might answer this, recommend away!Note 2: I'm not concerned about databases and parameters per se, but more the _concept_ of class in a class (or class of a class).
