Is it possible to position a messagebox in the center of your MainForm instead of the center of the computer screen? This is really confusing for beginner computer users, if your mainform will be in the top left corner and the message box in the middle of the screen, it won't be very clear that the messagebox belongs to your application. (well to us it is, but not to old people).

View 3 RepliesI would like all additional forms opened by some command the user performs on the Form1 to open in the center of Form1, no matter where the user has physically moved Form1 on their desktop screen. The application itself (Form1) is a small box with dimensions of 442x306 that will open even smaller forms on top of itself. Right now, I have everything positioned to open in the center of the screen so, in theory, everything works/looks fine as long as the user doesn't move Form1 anywhere.

View 1 RepliesI made a birthdaylist. You can store birthdays in it, and it will alert you on the day a person has his birthday. To do that the program has to startup when the computer starts up, and give the alert if neccesary and then close itself again. This all works, but the mainform is visible in that period.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to go to a different form my main form and while I'm using the selected form I want the MainForm to hide. I've put the code MainForm.Hide() at the top of the code of the JobInformationForm where I'm directing the program. I thought this would cause the MainForm window to hide. However, I'm getting an error saying Declaration is Expected. How do I use this MainForm.Hide() feature?

I have done programs in the past with VB6 using the winsock control to receive data to be processed. I would like to do the same thing in vb.net but I am having problems. I have done numerous searches and consulted numerous books and articles, but haven't found the best approach for accomplishing the following.
I would like from 1 to 20 clients to be able to send a string to the server to be processed. It would be nice to if the clients could connect to same port and use async processes to open/accept more connections. One of the books (Visual Basic 2008 Recipes) has a recipe for creating "Multithreaded TCP Server that supports Asynchronous Communications".
I am trying to base my program off of that example and modify it for my application. The problem I am having is how to share data with the Main form and the classes that handle the communications. The TCP class has two classes contained in it. One class for listening for connection, beginning the accept client and the other class (clienthandler) for completing the connection and getting the data. I would to be able to get the data from the clienthandler class and post on the main form. I have trying to have a public property for the data but I think my confusion comes in because the clienthandler would be created new for every new client. The mainform would not know how many of the new clienthandlers were created etc.how get the data to the main form and clear the data when done. I have even considered putting data into MSMQ and having main form pull data out.
Currently, I have a LoginForm that authenticates a user and it works fine. I have a MainForm, which is displayed if a valid username and password is entered. I have done this by using the following code in my LoginForm:Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
[Code]...
Now this does exactly what I want except I fear it's a work around and it's not the best approach. Also, note that I am using Me.Hide() to hide the LoginForm, is there a way to show the MainForm and then close the LoginForm instead of hiding it? Doesn't Me.Hide() call creates an overhead?
frmMDI is the main form, I want to be able to open a child form but change the mainmenu to go with that form. I am having a heck of a time getting this to work.

I have looking for a tutorial or class that demonstrates more than a trivial example of saving a windows position on closing. The ones I have found don't seem to work on all systems because of:
1. Multiple monitors. (and resolution between those monitors)
2. Toolbar size and position (toolbar is only on the primary monitor, well sometimes)
3. Sometimes the programs dont open on the right monitor they were closed on.
Is there an extensive class or tutorial on all the stuff a programmer needs to get right to have a window size and position persisted between executions?

I'm creating an app, with a splashscreen, loginform (just enter a name) and a mainform.With I use my.settings. Now here comes the issue I run into.The splashscreen should check (onload) if the my.settings.user contains any info, if it does, the mainform should be shown, if not the loginform should be shown. On my app settings I have splashscreen set to the splashscreen and the first form is set to login form.

I've made an app with vb 2010, which holds a mainform. On it is a menutoolstrip with button, when I click on that button a second form is opened on a second monitor and the button is being checked (different color).
When I click the button again, it is unchecked, but the form on the second monitor is still open, while it should be closed.
Here is the code I use:
CODE:
I know one can select Spash Screen as the application startup as per this illustration. I can't do that however because the application is called by another program which passes in parameters via Process.Start(). Depending on the passed in arguments, I need to either
Go Directly to the MainForm or Go First to a Splash Screen which will then to the the Mainform after 5 seconds.
I definitely need Step 2 above because of the slow startup time of creating an SocketConnection and the population of some Custom Controls only after the Socket connection has been established.
Would I use a startup class or module and then use that as the application startup 'form' which could be establishing the SocketConnection while also launching a Splash Screen?
What I'm trying to accomplish is for the user to select a menu item(New Tester) from the MainForm(only used for menu)to open the NewTesterForm and enter a rating from 1 to 10( 10 being the best) for two different drinks. When the user clicks the ok button on the NewTesterForm it adds the new rating to the totals. It keeps adding the rating totals until a user clicks the cancel button which returns to the MainForm. When the user clicks on the MainForm menu item Summary, The SummaryForm opens and displays:
-average rating for each drink which drink had a higher rating(the name of the drink)the total number of testers
