Difference Between .visible And .show/hide?
Jul 23, 2009
i was wondering this: what is the difference as in response.. should i use the .visible or the .show/.hide option.. by setting the .visible to true/false, the controls (in my case) will only appear visible or not.. by setting them to .show./hide, i guess they unload from the form, and reload in their previous state.. do correct me on this .. is this more memory use than the .visible option or the other way? i am currently designing a project containing a lot of panels/buttons/etc., that has the .visible option included for these controls. should i be using the .show/.hide option instead, or does it even make a difference, since i cannot tell from the response of my project when using either/or..

I have a form (Form1 class) which has got a "next" button (like we have setup wizards) which shud take me to other form. Now that other form has two buttons , next and back , and it shud take me to the previous and the next form. And I want to preserve the states of each form. What I did was that I instantiated the Form2 class in the click event of the next button : [code]That does the job of showing the second form . In the click event (of the back button) handler of the second form , I have the following [code]Now , when I press the back button , the program hangs. And nothing happens. how to hide/show forms with .NET. In VB6 it's quite easy using Show/Hide methods.

I'm curious if it is possible to hide a group of text boxes from view in a form until a particular condition is met, and to have a custom set of text boxes for that condition. To give an example; I want radio buttons offering choices for a manner of searching records, the user selects one and then a specific set of text boxes are displayed for the user to utilize, if a different option is chosen a different set of text boxes will be shown. Is this something that can be done?

I have an application in which the windows form has 3 panels. Under some circumstances, controlled by the User I want all three panels visible, in other situations I want one of the panels not visible.
The program works if I use the code:
Panel1.Visible = False
Panel2.Visible = True
The program also works if I use the code:
Panel1.Hide
Panel2.Show
Is there some advantage or disadvantage to either of the two approaches?

I call .show() and .hide() on a form and then I want to determine the current state. I've been checking .visible to determine if the form is visible, but I've stumbled uppon a problem. My form is being rendered inside a SplitContainer which I collapse each time I hide the form. So, by logic once I hide the form with .hide() it is no longer visible, and since I have collapsed it's container, even if I call .show() it would still NOT be visible couse it's container is closed.
So, how can I simply check if .show() has been called rather than checking if the form is visible.
The final goal is to show() / hide() the form along with collapsing / un-collapsing the container.
P.S.: I know I could simply check the container and show the form accordingly, but my form also supports detaching from the container, so that wont work for me.

I have created a com dll in vb 2005 and used in vb6. It's working fine.
I have a question why Windows Explorer does not show it�s version number? I have properly set both the Assembly version and File version.
Again I did create a test com dll - windows explorer does show it's version number properly.

Is there any difference between the two:
msgbox()
messagebox.show()
Some tutorials use msgbox() some use the other messagebox.show()---I see that both can have an editable style but I was wondering why there are two.
Is it to accommodate for older programmers (who have learnt on an older version of visual basic).
So in that case which one should I use on VB 2010 (VS 2010)

My converter shows the answer using the message box. i want to have a icon on the message box and a title at this top bar. my code is this: MessageBox.Show((number * multiplier), vbInformation, "Answer").ToString()
i used that because it was stated in a vb.net tutorial website. but when i check it again, it states that MSGBOX not MESSAGEBOX.show. what's the difference within the two? i cannot used msgbox for showing the answer and i don't know why. what's the code for the messagebox.show to have a icon or a sign?

I wanted to display a title on my message box i tried this code MsgBox('Cannot Conncet to the db',"Conncetion Error!") but it gives me a error, so i read on some blog they included 1 as an addtional parameter inside the msgBox MsgBox('Cannot Conncet to the db',1,"Conncetion Error!") . why that addtional parameter is needed.

Just playing around with VB and have made a program for playing "pairs". The program displays lots of face down cards, then the user can click on them to reveal their face and try to find pairs. This is done by hiding or showing the "card reverse" picture
If the user finds a pair, the cards should stay face up, however if they do not match, they should be returned to facing down.
The pictures need to be loaded dynamically through an array...
The code I have so far is as follows...
Form1...
Code:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[Code].....

I try using Icon.Visible = True. But it will only show icon in the taskbar for a brief period of time before Windows will hide it automatically. How to programmatically make show icon permanently?
The effect is the same as doing it manually, by click on task bar icon button -> Customize Notifications and set behavior to = "Always Show / Always Hide / Hide when inactive" for each taskbar icon on the list.
How to set it to "Always Show" programmatically?
