Reloading/refreshing Form?
Jan 17, 2012
I've been working on this game the past few days, a simple game where two people control different tanks, and shoot each other, very basic so far.The problem I have is when one player is dead. I have the form recognizing each players death by using this code (It's within a timer subroutine)
'Player One Dead
If intPlayerOneHealth <= 0 Then
btnReplay.Visible = True
End If
[code]....
and that code is replicated for every key pressed (Arrow keys, WASD, e, and end). Those booleans are handled in a timer subroutine, where if the boolean is true, they will move/shoot. (Turning the booleans to false is done in the 'Private Sub KeysUp' subroutine)
TL;DR How do I get the game to restart itself when a player dies and hits the replay button?
P.S. I've tried 'Me.Refresh()' as well, and that didn't do anything

On the Form_Closing I intend to just hide the form but somehow I need to reload/refresh the form as when it was just loaded the first time, could I just call its Load event to achieve it?

This happened to be once awhile ago and I thought I had the solution, but apparently I don't. Very rare, but what happens is, I'll start a new project, build my controls on the form, go into the code window and write some code. I'll save this all out, but when I reload the project, the code window comes up OK, but the design window is just gone. The code for the form and all the controls is still there in the form.designer window, but the form itself just will not appear, and there is no icon for it over in the Solution Explorer to click on

Basically I have two forms - Form1 has a DataGrid on it (Infragistics) and in the double-click row event it creates an instance of the EditForm and passes along the UniqueId for editing. Once the user saves the changes (if they make changes) - I want the DataGrid on Form1 to refresh. Here is how I thought I could get this to work ... I create a public property called RefreshRequired as boolean. Before unloading the EditForm it sets this property to true. Then Unloads. This continues the code in Form1 (which showed the EditForm as modal) but RefreshRequired is still showing as False? Why isn't my EditForm able to set the property?

Private Sub grdList_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles grdList.DoubleClick

I had issues in refreshing a form that is bound to different tables in a database. Various forms allow the user to change and add and update information on the form via the database. I had created a public sub in that form that the other forms could call, after saving the data, that was supposed to refresh the data on the main form. This was not working so I researched the problem. I came across this page which pertains to Form.Activated: [url]
I placed all of the table adapter fills into this event, instead of in Form_Load, and it seems to work now, when the form first loads, and when other forms update data. My question is does anyone have experience using this and what are the consequences, if any, in using this to reload/refresh the data showing on the form?

I am working on supplier maintenance file. From mainmenu, opening first form shows records on datagridview through databinding. Clicking add new record, i fired a second form as my data entry with detail view through databinding, minus navigational buttons. I left the delete and save button only. Once through data entry, i save it on server. My problem is, how can i reflect the added record on the first form while i am on my second form? I prefer the new record be added only to the first form. I don't want the idea of retrieving the records again from my server.

I am trying to refresh a datagridview from a second form to display newly written data. I have read the posts on this topic and can't figure mine out. My first form opens and you input data into text fields, etc. and then you need to select items from one table to copy and write to a new table. The datgridview on the first form shows the new table, and I have a new form that pops up to select the line items to add. Everything works perfectly except when I close the selection form after selecting lines, I would like the datgridview on the first form to refresh to show that the lines have been selected and displayed in the datagrid.
My data is loaded into the datagridview as so;
Public
Sub ShowVoucherLines()
cmd =

I have a VB 2008 Forms application which does Powerpoint automation.I am opening Powerpoint in a minimized window from within my app and am trying to periodically put update messages in a textbox on my main form while the automation is running (it takes a few minutes to complete), but my form window does not want to show these messages until the powerpoint operations are finished.It seems as if I need to force a window refresh or something on my windows form, but I'm unclear how to do that. Below is some code that I'm using that illustrates what I'm trying to do.When I run it, "Step One / Step Two / Step Three" do not show up on my textbox until after the Powerpoint automations are over.[code]

I have an mdi child form called "MyChild".
I need to refresh this form by calling the "MyRefresh()" method if the form has focus, and no controls have been clicked on in this form for the last 60 seconds.
Is there an efficient way of doing this ?
In the activate event of the form I could set up a timer and give it an interval of 60 seconds but what about checking for user intervention at any point in that 60 seconds ?

I have a databound combobox that displays a list of items, and I have a windows form that opens after clicking a button that allows me to make changes to the table that the combobox gets it's values from. When I make the changes and save them (successfully) and return to the parent window, the changes aren't reflected in the combobox. If I exit the app and launch it again the changes are reflected perfectly. I've tried me.combobox.refresh() on the forms GotFocus event, but no luck.

so I am a little confused. I am trying to refresh my datagrid when I have either add, deleted or edit a row via another form. I have it so my main form shows the datagridview, I have bound my controls to the database and I see all rows, no problem. I also have it setup to double click a row and it brings it up in another form to edit that record. This works. but it doesn't refresh the datagrid when saved. I am trying to follow this thread, specifically this post Refresh Datagridview - Post 2 Here is how I am loading the datagridview in main form

I am working on a huge multiform project for my company, and one of the few issues I am having is that when I am on the Main Menu Form, then go into a specific form (i.e Sales Order, etc.), do updates, changes, or just view data then close the Sales Order Form, if I happen to go back into the Sales Order Form without closing the entire project, then the Sales Order Form will display data instead of opening a blank form like when I first opened it.
Is there something that I should be adding to the Form Close Event to dump all of the data or refresh the data adapters so that if I open the form again, it will display a blank form that is ready to be used like when I first opened it?
I have tried using;
Me.Dispose()
Me.Close()
when closing these subforms, but if I open them again, the data fields (combo boxes and text boxes) will have random data in them.

I am trying to place a repeater within a repeater using xml data. I have it working exactly as I want, but the method I have used reloads the data for each repeater. I think I need to cast as an XmlNode but I'll be honest - I have no idea where to start. Here is my code - I'd like to keep everything in the code behind if possible.

I have a listbox, a textbox, and a button. The button populates the textbox with the selected item & value of the listbox. As below:
Protected Sub GetVariables_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles GetVariables.Click
Me.txtLetter.Text = lstNames.SelectedItem.ToString & lstNames.SelectedValue.ToString
End Sub
The problem I have, is that when doing this it reloads the page each time. Any way around this?
