Reload The Main Form Without Closing An Application?
Jun 12, 2009
I need to reload the form of my application. The application has only one form vb.net 2005. I need a button that will call the page_load event so I can restart and reload all my settings. basically I need to call the Sub private Page_load event().I just need to force the reloading of the form without having to close it and reopen it.This is the code which I need to reload:
Public Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
For Each URLname As String In My.Settings.URLtoTrackCollection
URLtoTrack.Add(URLname)
[code]....

Dim frm As Form
For Each frm In Forms
Set frm = Nothing
Next frm
The above code is what I used in VB6 to close all forms associated with my programs before my program closed. I have been searching for information on how to make sure all forms are closed when closing a VB2008 program.
I have seen info on using the Project Property Shutdown mode When startup form closes and I currently have this set.
Is this all that is really necessary? Will the garbage disposal close everything else to free up RAM?
Also, if I have several forms open and want to close all from the main form without closing each one individually, what is the best approach? Is there a collection like in VB6, go through the collection, compare it to the name of the main form and close it if it is not the main form?

I am building an app with multiple forms. It has a MainForm, which is the main interface, and several sub-forms that are started using buttons on the MainForm.
The MainForm Load method has some code that runs each time the form starts. This code populates various fields in the MainForm and it works fine. When I click a button a sub-form loads. I update some data there and then close or hide this form.
My problem is this: When I close or hide the sub-form and show the MainForm again, is it possible to have the MainForm Load method 're-run', or execute again? I presume I might be able to add something to the sub-form "Back" button event that runs when I hide or close the sub-form. I've tried a few variations of "frmMainForm.this" and "frmMainForm.that" with no luck.
I want to do this because the MainForm Load code will pick up the changes I made in the sub-form and display the updated data in the text fields of the MainForm.

Ok i have a login window which connects to a MySQL database and authenticates the user. Works perfect, BUT
If rowsEffected > 0 Then
cnMySQL.Close()
LoginForm1.Close()
MainForm.Show()
Else
cnMySQL.Close()
MsgBox("Login Failed!")
End If
That's supposed to close the login form and open the main form if the query returned a positive match of the login information. The login works, closes the login form, opens the main form, than mysteriously exits the application. I'm guessing its something simple but i don't see it .. the main form has nothing in it besides some inputs and labels no subs at all and if i change the form which the program starts to to the main form it runs as designed.
I know usually if you start your program from a module and use Application.Run() you can keep the thread open, but this is all forms no background work so i didn't want to go that direction.P.S. i just removed LoginForm1.Close() and it logs me in fine and opens the main form fine and keeps the app running but the login form is still open.

Everytime I execute my program, the main form closes by itself after about 15 seconds. The code is not the problem because it does the same thing when I put the whole code in comments. It's also not a key problem because it closes by itself even when I don't touch a single key when it's running.

I have created a splash screen and it fades in. When the splash screen closes, the main form (MDI) should open. The main form opens but then immediately closes.
vb
Public Class frmSplash
Private Sub frmSplash_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
'Open the MDI form.
frmMain.Show()
End Sub
[Code] .....

I have an MDI form as the app start object.I don't think is related, but in the Form closing event, I check for some condition, and if it's true, I ask for confirmation before closing:
Private Sub FormBackground_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
If (e.CloseReason = CloseReason.UserClosing) Then[code].....
So long, everything works fine in my development machine, which runs windows XP.However, when deploying the application in a windows 7 machine, the message box works correctly, showing itself whenever it should, but after the form is closed the application keeps running in the background. This happens whether the form closes directly or asks the user first.I have fixed it putting an End instruction in the FormBackground.FormClosed event, but it doesn't feel good.

I have a simple WPF vb.net application and wish to set the visibility property of some buttons on the main window to True when user successfully logs on
I have a MainWindow window with a frame hosting any number of pages and use the navigation service to load into this frame eg. Me.BodyFrame.Navigate(New System.Uri("Logon.xaml", UriKind.Relative)) One Page (logon) enables user to logon.
vb.net code:
Dim txtLocalLogonID = txtLogonID.Text
Dim pwdLocalPassword = pwdPassword.Password
Dim LocalLogon As New gblLogon()
[Code]....
How do I reload the main window? I realise the code is primitive but I just want to get it working first.

I have a form in a Pocket PC app that is set to be the Application form using:Application.Run(New frmMain())Somehow this form is getting closed for no reason while working on another form. No closing event is fired and nowhere in my code can you close the main form anyway. It is only closed by clicking the OK button at the top right of the window. When this is clicked, the user is prompted if he/she really wants to close the application. However, this is not occurring either.Basically, I am on another form which adds a new record to the database. After adding the record the gotFocus event is somehow called for frmMain. When the code in the gotFocus event reaches a reference to a control on the form, there is an exception that states that the object is disposed.

How can I ensure an application is fully closed when the user selects the close window X at the top of the form. It appears to just close the current form by default which is leaving the program still loaded in memory when the user thinks they have closed it. I have tried capturing the close and running application.exit but this closes the whole application even when I only want the current form closed.

I have to write an application that consists of mainly one main form, but several different things I wanna display. Pretty standard I guess. So there is a menu, some controls, and the main stuff below (ranging form graphs, tables, dropdown boxes, print preview, etc). I would like to use it like one would use frames in html, design an object that is limited to a box or panel that I define. The literature I have does not give me a clear idea of how to do this (yet). The most obvious seem to be the use of MDI, open a predefined form with no borders, maximize it before showing and remove all minimize/maximize options. But that does not work so well. The form inside the MDI parent does not fit the size that is given for it when it is loaded. e.g.
[CODE]:......................
So my main question is: Is MDI the way to go here at all or are there better/easyer ways to achieve this? If MDI is the way to go, how do I sucessfully restrict a child form inside another object, without giving the user any opportunity to resize (i noticed that I have minnimize/maximize/close buttons, even if I disable them on the child forms themselves)

I've made a Windows Forms Application that runs fine. It has some buttons that open child forms, which can simply close again without any problem. As I need the form to be in a dll, I changed the application type to a class library and added an extra project containing an exe-file that only references the main form in the dll and shows it. So far so good...
The main form is basically a tabcontrol with a bunch of controls, buttons among others. Five buttons on different tabs use the same handler to open a child form. When I click the button on the first tab everything works fine. The form opens and when it closes, only the child closes. When I click any of the buttons on the other tabs, the child form opens and when it closes again, both the child and the main form close...
I am stumped, especially since all buttons use the same code to open the child form and everything appears to be completely identical, yet the results are not. Below I have pasted the code that opens the main and child forms. I am undoubtedly not looking in the right place, but I also have no idea where to look anymore, let alone what to look for...
The code opening the main form:
Public Sub StartProgram()
'Load the form and show it
Dim frmProgram As frmMain = New frmMain
[Code].....

I am developing a commercial application that needs to do some environment checking upon start up. I need to check things like the following. 1. Is there a registry entry on this machine that has various keys for paths to SQL Server 2. If it does not I need to create them. 3. Prompt user for the path to the SQL Server 4.Check the SQL Server to see if the database I need exists. 5. Create the DB if not. 6. Populate the DB with the tables I need 7. Create stored procs in the DB 8. Write the registry. I could do all this in the form load of the main form. However is there a better way? Like doing all these checks as part of a splash screen for example.

Form1 is a mdi container. It has a bunch of forms that can load inside of it as mdi children. If I close each open form inside the form1, and then click the red X at the top right, application exits fine.If I click the red X without closing the forms inside I get: An unhandled exception of type 'System.CannotUnloadAppDomainException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Error while unloading appdomain. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131015) However I can break from it. How do I get the application to not show that error? What must I do to fix those inside forms or close when the red x is clicked?

I have a project (Written in Visual Basic, using Visual Studio 2005) which has several user controls. I have had no problem setting it up where you click a button and it load a user control, but I cannot get it to remove the control that is currently open. For example The program opens on a starts screen, which has the choices, Control1, Control2, and exit. When you click Control1 button it should open up a screen to display an inventory. It does this just fine, but it does not close the main menu screen.
Here is the code for the initial startup of the project:
Public Class Form4
Public Sub Form4Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim CtrlMain As New ControlMain()
With CtrlMain
.Location = New Point(0, 0
