Accessing Datasets Loaded In Main Form From A Child Form?
Aug 11, 2009I have a program I've been working on for some time now and I'd like to try to streamline it somewhat. I have a main menu form that has a split panel, in the left panel is a treeview that displays forms you can open and when one is selected, it opens in a child window in the right panel. Each time I open form I called DWNForm, it does a series of dataset loads which are the populating items for a series of listviews.
What I would like to do is have these datasets load once during the mainMenu load and then have the DWNForm be able to access the datasets once it is called from the treeview selection.
VS 2008 Check If Form Is Loaded Before Starting Another Instance
May 19, 2009I have a Parent form that loads a child form and I only want to allow one instance of the child form. I have this on the button to open the form. Stepping through the code with the debugger it "appears" to work OK when the form is open (I say appears because nothing changes) but when the form is closed it doesn't open as I would expect. What am I missing?

Make The App Do Something When A Form Has Loaded Up, Or Clicked?
Nov 4, 2011So just to get better at VB, I'm trying to make this application that takes pictures from your clipboard and uploads them. I'm adding a label, that will tell you if there's anything in your clipboard or not, but the problem with that is that I don't know how to make it check the clipboard all the time.I'm still a beginner, so I only know how to make the app do something when a Form has loaded up, or clicked etc., but how do I make it so it checks the clipboard when it has changed? If I can't do it, how do I make it so it checks the clipboard like maybe every second. Do I need to use threads (I'm not sure, because I don't quite fully understand threads).
View 2 RepliesMake An Single Instance Form?
Aug 4, 2010I have a mdicontainer form that summons forms. My problem is when the a user clicks again the menu for that form, it also make another instance of it.
What I did is declare a public class with a public variable on it ex: Boolean isFormOneOpen = false. Then every time formOne opens, it checks first the global variable I declared a while ago if it's false, if it is, instantiate an object of a formOne and then show it. Otherwise, do nothing. Very static, imagine if I have many forms, I have to declare a variable for each form to check if it's already open. Maybe a method that accepts a Form? Or any more clever way to do this.

View 3 RepliesMDI Form - Make A Parent Child Relationship
Sep 30, 2009I am working on my final project and I need to have 1 MDI Form. For the life of me I cannot figure out what to do. My book mentions doing this:
Dim childForm as New ChildFormClass()
childForm.MdiParent = parentForm
childForm.Show()
When I put that in the Parent form it doesn't like the ChildFormClass(). I wouldn't think it would be too hard to make a parent child relationship? I have tried looking for the MdiList property but I cannot seem to find it. I think I need to have some menu items to have a child form. If there is a way to have an MDI form without that I would like that. Does anyone know a good tutorial that explains creating MDI forms well, and what to do/put in the parent and child forms code?

Make Current Tab Page Update When New Data Is Loaded?
Mar 31, 2010I'm working on a VB.Net windows application.In the top half of the form application, I have a vendor number with a "GO" button and in the bottom half I have a list of tab pages. We have built the application to only go to the database and display data when the tab page is selected by the user. If I'm in one of the tab pages, and I change the vendor number and click the GO button, the data on the current tab page goes blank (it does not refresh). I have been told that I have to find a way of programmatically clicking on the tab page's tab a second time. How do I do that? I've tried using _Selected event, _Selecting event, _Click event. I've even tried to do a .Focus() on the tab page itself. Nothing seems to work to reload the new data without clicking off of the tab and back onto it manually.

Opening An MDI Child Form From A Child Form?
Feb 25, 2009I'm creating an application that uses an MDI container to create a sort of desktop style for my form with a group of icons docked to the left hand side. The rest of the form is the desktop area that I want all windows to open in.If I use the standard File-New option that is provided by VB as a default for the MDI container this works fine and a child window is loaded.If I use similar code from one of the icons this also works fine.y problem is that one of my child forms is a search panel and when I double click on one of the results I want a window to open, but as an MDI child. However, this doesnt happen. When I open the window it opens as a completely separate window and isn't docked within the MDI parent. It also appears on the task bar as a separate application.
