Dynamic Buttons Opening Different Forms
Nov 13, 2010Firstly though, I'll have to mention that I'm a relative newcomer to vb.net and don't really know that much about advanced functions.I have my main form which dynamically generates 15 buttons.
Each of these buttons will need to open another form, depending on which form has been assigned to that button in a config file (the config file isn't yet done, as I want to get it working simply by hardcoding the name of the forms for the time being)
The way I have it in my head is that I would assign the form name that needs to be open to the name of the button, if that makes sense....However, I have absolutely no clue how to do it, I've tried a couple of things but to no avail.
Here's my code, and I have no problem changing any part of it if it will help things along, this is just the only way I know how to create dynamic buttons.[CODE...]

View 5 RepliesForms :: Opening Form Using A Threadpool?
Sep 15, 2009I want to open a VB.net form using a ThreadPool with a maximum of 10 threads. I need to do this because, the form should open based on a live event and i need atmost 10 forms on the desktop at a time. If i open the form on every live event without using a ThreadPool, the desktop will be floaded with many forms. I am using QueueUserWorkItem method of threadpool to queue a method which opens the form. In this queued method, there is form1.show() statement called. But after displaying the form, this method finishes execution and again we have 10 threads available in the system. I somehow want to either keep this method running so that 1 thread is occupied or i want to keep the thread alive till the form1 is closed by the user. I want the 11th form to appear on the desktop, only when any of the existing forms out of the 10 (already on desktop) is closed.

View 15 RepliesMultiple Projects And Opening Forms?
Apr 29, 2010Over the past months I have been working on small windows forms applications and learning vb as i go along. The aim was to pull these altogether into one big application.
I am now at the stage of pulling these together I have created a new project (called MainMenu) and designed all the buttons and interface. I have added my other projects (SISApp, CURApp) to this project. File > Add > Existing Project. I can see these projects in the solution explorer.
Now my problem. How can show Form2 in the SISApp project when I click ButtonX in the MainMenu project.
I dont just want to show Form2, i want all the functionality and the database connection in form2 to also work etc.

View 1 RepliesForms :: Prevent Browser From Opening New IE Windows?
May 19, 2010I am making a webbrowser,how to prevent my browser from opening new IE windows. Because what happens is, there are some links that will open new windows and therefore IE comes in place because it is set as default windows browser which I really don't want because my browser looks really bad if it opens links in another webbrowser.I want it to be just a basic browser, it has only one window, and it should navigate within that window. This is because the browser is integrated in a bigger application only for some website applications that are related to this main application.I am using VB.net 2008 Express Edition?

View 1 RepliesMultiple Forms - Quickly Opening All Tabs?
May 11, 2010I'm just having a small problem with tabpages. I have a program that have multiple forms (on startup they are all created and hidden, except for the one being viewed by the user). When the user open one particular form, I has a tab control with two pages. I also have a toolbar. when the user click a menu option, I call a method that assigns all my controls to a variable (to be used in an insert statement later).
Here's an example of that Sub:
Public Sub SetValues()
'page 1
DateCreated = Date.Now
DateEdited = Date.Now
DateCompleted = Me.DateTimePicker2.Text
[Code] .....
The problem is, the controls on the second page cant be "seen" (this is confirmed by placing a msgbox in the above sub, which comes up blank) until the user open the second tab, at least just once. Then its ok. I know I can just run a small method to quickly open all tabs, but is there a reason this is happening, and a better way to do this?
Opening Different Forms Depending On Account Type?
Apr 13, 2012I've just finished creating a basic login system which enables you to create an account and select either a "Student" or "Teacher" account.
Once the account is created it's stored in an Access 2007 database. The field the account type gets stored in is called AccountType. When users log in with their unique username and password I want the program to take them to a different form depending on whether they have a student or teacher account.
Anti Multiple Opening Of Same Dynamic Child Forms?
Sep 14, 2009I have a program that will let you open a certain table in the database and query it on a child form in a MDI parent form. Of course the child form is a new instance of an existing form.The thing I want to do is that the opened table in the child form cannot be reopened again in the other child form. So I did was to create a childform name on every new instance of a childform depending what is the name of the table.
The first thing I did to do this restriction is to put the names of the opened table to an public array and when the user tried to reopen the table, the program will check if the childform name is already existing... and if it exist it will not let the user to open the table in new childform.When the childform is close it will erase it's name to the public array. And it can be open again.If you don't understand what I want to do this is the situation for example in a microsoft office when a word document file was open it will be put in a childform, and when the user tried to open the word file again and still the word file is open in the microsoft word the application will tell it's user that the word document file is still open.
Buttons Are Opening Wrong Forms Inside A Panel?
Mar 18, 2010not quite sure why this is happening but I am just debugging right now and the buttons I am using are opening the wrong forms, I have made sure of the form names, button names etc and it looks all good but specifically the btnPrintReport is opening up the form enterAuditForm while btnProcessAudit is opening printAuditForm instead of their correct ones.
Here's my code, it is rather simple. The reason why I am using a separate sub as my btnPrintReport is because I am using that also on the baseForm's OnLoad Event, which again is also opening the wrong form.

Multiple Windows Forms Opening Upon Program Launch
May 8, 2012I am running Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express. I created a simple program that is nothing more than dozens of Windows Forms that are linked together by the various clickable buttons I put on each form. The program is like a "book" with several pages, and you jump to a specific page by clicking on specific buttons on the current page ("Windows Form").
My question is, how do I change my program so that when it is launched, instead of just 1 Windows Form opening, the program opens up several Windows Forms (of my choosing) automatically? In other words, instead of my "book" (VB program) opening "page 1," when I run it, I want it so that pages 4, 7, 8, 10, and 15, are "opened" whenever I run my "book."
Is there some code I need to insert into each Windows Form I wanted opened automatically when the program is loaded? Or is this a MS VB 2010 Express environment option I need to set?

View 5 RepliesVS 2010 Splash Screen Loads On Startup And A Lot Of Child Forms That Load When Opening?
May 31, 2011I have an MDI parent screen that loads on startup and a lot of child forms that load when opening. So as the child forms load there's a lot of flashing and it looks really ugly. Once they're loaded all I have to do is use a bring to front, maximized command and it works smoother than closing a form and opening a new one every time a different form is selected. I've tried creating a splash screen, minimizing the forms on load, etc and everything still works in order so first the splash screen then the forms load.
How would you set it up so a splash screen stays on top of all other forms for like 5 seconds while the forms load in the background without seeing them load? Right now the screen shows then when it's done it moves on to step 2 which is loading the child forms. If no splash screen, how do I make it load so you don't see all the child forms opening at once?
