When a user clicks on the little red "x" a.k.a. the form close button on the form command bar, what even is activated besides FormClosed()
I know FormClosing() is called, but I cannot really stop the form from closing after my code is run. I want to be able to show a messagebox that asks if the user wants to exit the form or not. Obviously if they click no, I want the form to stay open, how would I do this?

View 3 RepliesI am learning Visual Basic 2008. I have created a form with a datagridview bound to a dataset. I also added a button to the datagridview. When the button is clicked I want to be able to update a couple fields in the grid with new values. How do I intercept the click of that button?
View 4 RepliesI've adapted the code from this link to use the WinXP on-screen keyboard (osk) for a touch-screen application written in VB.NET v3.5. The osk fills the bottom half of screen etc. and behaves fine except for one little quirk. If the user clicks or taps anywhere on the 'background' area behind/between the virtual keys (within the main osk window), the color of the area changes to that of the keys when any further key subsequently gets focus. The outline of all keys is then lost because they are visually merged into the osk window background. The osk must then be terminated and re-launched to remove the confusing appearance.
This behaviour only occurs when the osk window is set to the child style (i.e. when the menu is hidden), using the SetWindowLong P/Invoke function - e.g.
SetWindowLong(OskProcess.MainWindowHandle, GWL_STYLE, WS_CHILD)
It's as if the entire area behind the keys is being treated as another key when tapped/clicked, whereupon its color is 'restored' after losing focus.Is there any way to intercept and somehow override the focus event of this osk background area?
This may seem complicated but it's a somewhat basic concept, just probably a complicated execution, I am trying to create a program that will allow you to basically "IM" between computers on a LAN network. That's the concept, I plan on doing this by generating .bat files, executing them and printing the last few messages sent in a label, the big problem I have is receiving messages, I have no idea whatsoever how to even go about finding out how to take the messages received from the messenger service and print them into the label, any ideas?EDIT: This is in VB.Net 2008
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to make a LAN IM client using the net send command and I was wondering if there is any way to capture the text of the messages received through net send and display them in a label.
View 6 RepliesI want it so when the "x" button is clicked a message box will appear saying "Are you sure you want to exit?" then if "yes" it closes and if "NO" it stays open. so my code is:
Dim a As Integer
a = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to exit?", _
"Vice Versa 1.0", _
CODE:...................
This should work, no? When i debug my project clicking "no" still exits my program. Is this just because it's in debug mode or am i missing something here?
Also no warnings or errors. Is there a way i can make my game pause when the message box shows? I only have it working to if the users presses "p" on keyboard. But also want game paused when message box shows, without pressing "p"
I have a single windows form application that is running in system tray icon.If the user press X button of the windows form a messagebox is displayed with Yes and No ( Yes ->close the form---No->keep the form running in system tray icon).I was thinking to prevent the scenario when the user open another instance of the application when there is already an instance running so i have used this code :
If Process.GetProcessesByName(Process.GetCurrentProcess.ProcessName).Length> 1 Then
MessageBox.Show("Another instance is running", "Error Window", MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation)
Application.Exit()
End If
The problem is that when i want to test this the message is displayed but after i press ok, a new messagebox appears (that one from Private Sub Form_FormClosing ).If i choose NO i will have to instance running!I have read that Application.Exit fires the Form_FormClosing event.Is there any possibility to cancel the triggering of the Form_FormClosing event?'this is the formclosing
procedure
Private Sub Form_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
Try
Dim response As MsgBoxResult
response = MsgBox("Are you sure you want to exit", CType(MsgBoxStyle.Question + MsgBoxStyle.YesNo, MsgBoxStyle), "Confirm")

I have a validating event for a txtbox called txtname. If the user tries to leave txtname for another txt box without entering their name a messagebox comes up giving an error. I have an exit button which will when clicked ask you if you really want to leave then you can choose yes or no. I can't seem to figure out how to allow the user to click the exit button while leaving the txtname blank so it would bypass the error message and only bring up the exit prompt. Here's what I have coded for the validating event and the exit event.
Private Sub txtName_Validating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles txtName.Validating

i was thinking. is it possible to bring the rows that we click at datagridview and bring it into another form. which mean i click on a data that are on the datagridview, then it will pop up a form, inside the form, there will be have the data we have click on the datagridview, and we can edit and save at that form. Can it be done? if yes, how do i gonna bring it over? i only manage to make a windows pop out only. but cant bring the data over.

First forms project. My textbook [wrox VB 2880 Programmer's Reference, Rod Stephens] gives snippet that starts with [which intnellisense completes, except for variable names, including trailing 'paint' which seems to be the problem]
Public Class Form1
Private Sub form1_paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TableLayoutCellPaintEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Paint
End Sub
End Class
which generates error :
Error 1 Method 'Private Sub form1_paint(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.TableLayoutCellPaintEventArgs)' cannot handle event
'Public Event Paint(sender As Object,
e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)' because they do not have a compatible signature
.
Changing 'Private' to 'Public' does not fix the error.
I have a windows application that has a tab control with 5 different tabs. Each of these tabs has a datagrid view that is populated with data on form load with data from SQL Server. I have an event handler for the datagrids for CellValueChanged that appends an asterisk, "*" to the tab, when a change is made, this is meant to mimic the same behavior in VS or SSMS. The issue that I have just realized is that on page load as the datagrids are populated this event handler is raised thousand of times. I have included an If Then statement to exit the sub if it occurs during page load, but am concerned about the performance implications, if any. Is there a better way to handle such functionality? Possibly a way to ignore the event handler on form load? If not is there a negative impact leaving this functionality in?

On each of my form I have put an 'Exit' button. When user clicks it, another form is displayed (I don't want to use 'MessageBox') asking user whether he really wants to quit. If user clicks yes the form closes. If user clicks no, form is redisplayed.
However, out of 4 forms only one form refuses to redisplay. The code is exactly same on all forms. I have included 2 Express 2008 projects showing one form each in the zip file apps-ssk.zip
The following zipped up Visual Studio Solution on Skydrive is immediately buildable and runnable; a usercontrol on a Form. Problem? If you click on any of the Edit Buttons and move the Horizontal Scroll, the values as they change in the Label_Values are off by one when you release the slider button. I think this is a timing problem between the Paint handler and the Horizontal Scroll event handler at the very bottom of the User Control code. Sorry I didn't eliminate
View 2 RepliesI'm having a bit of a problem getting my application to close properly. Basically I have one main form from which all other forms open. If a user tries to close that main form, I want to bring up a MessageBox asking if they want to exit the application.However, when I try to do that it asks the question twice. It seems that the Application.Exit() is triggering the FormClosing event again for some reason, but I don't know of another way to exit the application. BTW, the main form isn't the startup form so I can't use the option to close when the startup form closes.

View 2 RepliesNow I have a sub to validate a bunch of textboxes and combo boxes.I previously used many IF statements to validate and pop up different messageboxes and Exit Sub in every IF statement.But I heard that too many Exits will decrease the efficiency and they were not recommended to use. Instead, nested IF is better because it will let the process naturally go to the end.Then I found out that if I use nested IF,it will be hard to read, since messageboxes are all separated from conditions.
