View 5 RepliesFor reasons that are beyond my control, I have three Projects. Projects A and B reference project C. Project A references project B so that it can open a large form in project B. I now need to open that large form from project C, but VB won't allow me to add a reference from C to B because that would create a circular dependency. I found a way around it, though. I created a Timer in A, and when I opened C from A, I passed in that timer. When the user performs a certain action, I enable the Timer from A, and this causes C to open B for me.

View 2 RepliesI'm making a application but I want it to be as small as possible also if you use the FormWhatever.Show function, if you close the parent window, everything closes. Is there a way to make a button open up an application that is NOT in the current project?
View 5 RepliesI have read a lot of the prior questions/answers on this topic but it only took me so far. I have a solution to which I added 2 additional programs. These 2 added programs in essence create a PDF2TIFF converter using GS. I wish to call that form and use it as a utility from my main program. After reading other answers in the forum, I added these two programs as references in the main program and imported everything available, into the main program. I have what seems to be a correct build order set up. I want to open the form in the utility project(s) from a link on my main form. I tried a few things but the only way I could write the code without errors was to instantiate the second program then call that with a button click.

View 3 RepliesI am using VS 2008 and I have a solution with multiple projects. I would like to know how to open a form in project B from a Form in project A. The solution starts with the form in project A.I have tried the following and it does not produce the expected behaviour:In Form A I have added a reference to the Project B. The following code is in a form in project A. appraisal is a form in project B.
Dim appraisalForm As New appraisalApp.appraisal
appraisalForm.Show()
The above solution works to a degree. As the form is instantiated in Project A, I cannot reference any of the items in the form in Project B as I could if the Form in project B was instatiated through startup.
I have made the bad mistake of renaming FORM1 directly on the Solution explorer with the result of me unable to open the form in both designer and code.
The error is:
The Form1.vb does not exist. It may have been renamed, moved or deleted

View 12 RepliesI created a project with a data entry form. I now added the project to a solution containg other projects. Now from a "Menu form with a button" in one of the projects in the solution, I tried to display the data entry form with the click event of the button on the Menu form and it is not displaying the data entry form. Please could you help to show me how to go about it; such that when I click the button on the Menu form I could display the data entry form?
View 1 RepliesI have a button, and when I click that button, I want it to close the current form, and then open the new form.Here's the code I have so far:
Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK.Click
Me.Close
Form1.Show
It closes the current form, and then Form1 only shows for about a quarter of a second. (Appears then disappears really quickly). At least I think that's what it's doing.
I have started learning a bit about programming. "Create a new project, and add two text boxes and a button to the form. Write code that, when a button is clicked, places the text in the first text box into the second text box. Hint: Use the Text property of the TextBox controls." Now I am trying to look at it logically do I put the same text in both textbox properties and write code that says if it is visible in one it cant be in the other or declare the text in the code, either way I am a bit stumped, but feel if a stick with it it will click and i will be writing my own code in no time.
View 8 RepliesI'm trying to figure out the script needed being executed by a button element (or some kind of element) to launch another windows form from the same project when being in another windows form? I'm a bit of a beginner with this language, so I don't know simple scripts like this one
View 4 RepliesI'm making an equation program and I want to have a main menu where the user can select an equation and then when one of the buttons is clicked, it closes the "selection" form and opens the appropriate form. For now I just have it set to show the proper form (for example, Form3.Show) but when I try to do something like Me.Close() after it, everything closes instead of keeping Form3 open.
View 2 RepliesI am making a multi form application in VB 08 and need to program a back button (just like a back button in a browser). The code I wrote loops the back function. For example If I start at from 1 and go to 2 and then 3, I need the button to take me from 3 to 2 and then to 1, but my code takes me from 3 to 2 to 3 because it thinks form 3 was the last form before 2. 'm sure this is simple, but so are my skills
Here is a snipped of the code from form 1:
Public strLastForm As String
Private Sub btnTwo_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

I am having a hard time with this. This is my code:

This is the only way I can think to do it, but it closes the application due to me.close(). How can I do this? Invoiceform is already running!
I'm trying to make a login form thats opened by a button. I know how to make the button open a new form but I want the form to have a admin login,guest login and a new user button that only a logged in admin can open, it should also have a 'only admins can create new users' type messagebox. If your still understanding me I also want it to stay in the file, like you press the login button and it brings you up to the page. I don't know if it could have account control like user from limited to admin.

View 10 RepliesI want to achieve the following:
The user drags text from any open window not related to my application ( like firefox or word, for example) onto button1 on form1 in my application. when he/she does that, a new form (called form2 that contains a richtextbox) will open and the dragged text is directly copied (or inserted) into the richtextbox of the new form. button1 has allowdrop set to true. Beyond that I don't know how to proceed.
I tried:
e.effects = DragDropEffects.Copy
But it seems it is not enough.

View 3 RepliesI am using Visual Studio 2010..I have multiple forms and when I hit close button(red X, top-right) from any form, i want the project to close entirely.Now when I do this, this does not happen by default. I always have to click on the 'stop' button in VS for it to close.
View 6 RepliesI have a form which won't open properly under certain circumstances if a particular Button is set to visible = false. Under the same circumstances if the Button is set to visiblbe = true the form does open properly or if the line of code at a certain place where it is set to either visible = true or visible = false is commented out or not there then the form opens properly. If any one of the 5 phases on my form are turned on then the problem doesn't ever occur but if none of the phases are on then the problem does occur. I just found a fix for the situation but I still am not clear about what exactly is going on.
