I have a form ( call it NewForm ) that can be opened from many other forms, but I don't want to have the user to run into the problem of having many windows/forms open.I want to close the calling form and open NewForm.NewForm will prompt the user for information, but if the user doesn't find what they are looking for I want to have a "Cancel" button on the form. With the "Cancel" button I want to go to the previous form.is there a way to tell which form called NewForm so I can just reopen/unhide that form/window.
View 5 RepliesWhen I initialize a new form to open, the subroutine in the new form starts before the new form is shown on the screen and so when the subroutine finishes and the MsgBox comes up, the form isn't showing.
Is there a way to make the form pop up first before the subroutine starts?
when you login it is the meaning that another form opens. But as soon as the new form opens up everything closes. The code i used is this:
Public Class Form1
Public Goldhave As Integer
Public UserName2, Password As String

I am using VS 2008, Windows XP R3, and Visual Basic.When I open some forms in the form designer, (In Solution Explorer, right click on the form, then select View Designer) the form always opens as Edited. An Asterisk "*" appears after the form name in the open window tabs. If I open the form to just view the code (In Solution Explorer, right click on the form, then select View Code), the form opens normally. This happens for just some forms.
It always happens for the same forms, and never happens for the other forms. What I am missing in those forms where the designer always thinks the form has been edited?
When opening a button and opening a new form as soon as it opens it close for some reason but its not giving any errors as to why its doing this now I've checked the linked linking it to the next form that's fine.

I need to create a program that requires password entry. I was thinking of having a form that the user uses to set the password that only opens once (unless a button on the main form is clicked to reset the password.) once the password has been set, the form closes and another opens to enter the password and for each and every time the program is run. Another thing is that if the password has been entered wrong 3 times, the program gives a message box and closes on the ok button.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to set my software up so that when I check the checkbox for winRAR to be installed, it'll pop up a new window asking if I want to install the 32 bit version or the 64 bit version. I have no problem getting the window to show up but than if I try to exit out of the window and than uncheck the box (in case it was accidentally checked) it'll just open the window again. I am thinking I have to tell vb that when I uncheck the box it shouldn't do anything.
Here's my code.
(I know that the Nothing under the Me.chk_rar.Checked = False doesn't work but I left that blank once and it just opened a bunch of windows and crashed my system. I know it says "E:Music" right now but I just pointed it there so that there was something there normally it'll point to the other window. If I need to created a new Form for every little window that I have for instance the little window that I want to pop up, do I need to create a new form just for that little window to ask which architecture is needed and than giving the options for 32 bit or 64 bit.

I am trying to autoselect pre-programmed items in a listbox when a form opens with the control on it.but i cannot find a proper method to select all the items in the listbox and hold the resulting text as a string that will later be saved to a text file. i do not need help with saving the text to file but rather selecting the items in the listbox.so, after alot of trial and error and no luck I think I am supposed to use
ListBox.ObjectCollection
propriety. but i have no clue whats so ever in how to manage to select all the items in the listbox when this form opens...if this does not make sence then I will rephraze it.

I currently have a program that I made which opens other apps packaged with an installer. I have set the installer to install everything to the Program Files folder. However, not all computers have a C: hard drive. I have a way in which they can enter their drive letter in one form then in the next form it remembers the drive and will take them to the program. The problem is my program stores the drive letter in an xml file. On the startup of the program it looks in the xml file to find the drive letter, if there is no drive letter the form opens then lets the user set his drive letter. The xml file is stored in the folder "Math Wizard" in the Program Files folder. But if not all computers have C:Program Files I need a shortcut to the program files folder. I have been trying to use %ProgramFiles% (%Program Files% + "Math Wizardconfig.xml") but vb is saying that the % is an invalid character. Here's my code:

A B C

View 4 RepliesI have a form with a Tab Control that has 18 pages. When I click on a tab it opens the page and select a textbox on that page (txtTextbox1. Select() ). This works for the first 8 pages but not for the remaining 10 pages. Although on these pages I can mouse click on the textbox, enter info, save then click my Add button that clears the textboxes and has the code (txtTextbox1. Select() ). The textbox is selected just fine. The code for all my pages is the same except for the tab name and the control names. The tab key will move the selection to the next textbox in order on all pages and the Enter key is coded to do the same. The first 8 pages have a total of 256 labels, buttons, list boxes, textboxes and checkboxes on them.

I am trying to do a conversion of a sting to an array name. I have a few arrays called "f2250", "f2255", "f2260" and so on. When a user enters say 2.50 into a textbox, the program needs to be able to reference the f2250 array. Now ive managed to sucessfully code the creation of the string ie "f2250(1)" (Ive added the (1) as a test to refrence an index). How can I use that string to now return the value that is in the array? Does the string need to be converted into something else?
