View 2 RepliesCapturing Audio Stops When Main Window Is Minimized Or Obstructed By Another Window?
Feb 9, 2012I have a VB.NET application that uses Managed DirectSound to capture audio.Everything works just fine until (a) the application is minimized or (b) the application is completey obstructed (covered) by another window.
The thing is that the CaptureBufferDescription structure does not include a GlobalFocus property so I don't know what to do to let my application continue capturing when the main window is hidden.
Here's the basic initialization code I'm using:

View 2 RepliesRefer To A Parent Window From A Child?
Mar 4, 2010I'm working on a sdi-like WPF application with VB as the code behind. Basically, I have a main window that has some tabs and a button that opens (shows) another child window. I need that child window to refer back to the parent main window and automatically bring it in focus and have a specific tab selected (via a button on that child). The child window is a separate class file with its own xaml and VB code in my project.In the child I tried using
My.Windows.MainWindow.myTabControl.ItemSelected = My.Windows.MainWindow.tabIWantSelected
My.Windows.MainWindow.Focus()
but this does not appear to work as the main window in the background doesn't appear to be referenced in this way. I can use My.[bla bla].Show() - but that creates a whole new instance of the main window on top of the old one. Activate() doesn't work either since the main window is already activated.It seems like a simple task but am I forced to use something like SetForegroundWindow()?

Feb 18, 2010What I need to do is Set my new form to be the top most form of only my application while still having click access to the main form. Right now I have tried the property Topmost = True but the thing about that I really do not like is it puts the form above every single windows form. I only want the form to be the topmost of my application. The showdialog also will not work because I no longer have access to my main form with click events.

Close Login And Open Main Window Form?
Feb 15, 2012I am having a difficulty in this login form that I have made. The same as the premade template login in VB 2008 which I am using right now.Here's what happens when I run the program Log in form open > Log in successful > Main window appears *The login form still does not disappear.
I tried hiding it via me.hide() Log in form open > log in successful > Main window appears > log in form disappear.*Now the problem is that I cant close the whole application because the login form is still there only hidden. Again I tried putting in the "EXIT" button the code me.close() login.close()Log in form open > log in successful > Main window appears > log in form disappears > Exit application *Now everything seems to be ok now and then I found another problem.Instead of clicking the exit button I tried clicking the X button on the main window. There I found out that it only closes the main window. Therefore not closing the whole application because the login form is still hidden.

View 1 RepliesVS 2008 : Making 'main Window' Form Acting As A Container For The Other Forms?
Mar 17, 2009Am devloping an application with multiple forms, which reside on top of a main form. i.e the main application window. The 'child' forms do not need to be linked in any way as they do not pass information to the parent form, as all the parent form does is act as main window.Now I would like to know what is the correct way for the 'main window' form acting as a container for the other forms? So that all the smaller secondary forms stay focused on top of the main application form, that when the main window is minimized, so these forms should do also etc..
I have read other posts and they mention, leaving all the forms standard i.e. IsMdiContainer = False and then using form.showDialog() to call the secondary forms. This did not work for me as what happens is that as soon as I give focus to the main app form, the secondary form disappears underneath.I tired making the main app form IsMdiContainer = True and when it loads calling:
frmMemberForm.MdiParent = Me
Now this works, because I can click off the form and minimize the app etc and the frmMemberForm doesn't disappear. However if i close the MemberForm and reopen it, it looses this property and once again when it looses focus, it will disappear.
