i am sending list of company codes to the function. and in function i loop through to do something. if success i will return 1 if some error occures i will return 2)
If Res = 1
Then
MessageBox.Show(
"Success.",
"My App"

My probelm, sometimes messagebox.show method don't show messagebox on screen. It will appear in task bar but we have to click it to show it on screen (looks like it is hanged but messagebox is already there in taskbar so click it to show message "success" then click ok to close the messagebox). then only we can click "ok" to close it. without clicking it my "in progress" window won't close. sometimes messagebox will appear with no problem.
How I can use a messagebox to show for a specific amount of time only? So if I place this in maintimer, MessageBox will show and will auto close and I set how long it must display for. If messagebox is up, then Timer is paused. I did research around these lines but couldn't find what I'm looking for.
View 1 RepliesI send a message a while ago and no one answerd, how can I draw directly on the screen (not on a specific window) just on the screen, neither if it's on the desktop or anything else.Is there is any option to bring up the switch between applications window (Alt + Tab), I don't want to use sendkeys because the user need to keep the key down and I just want the user to select the application with his mouse.
View 3 RepliesI 'm running a multithreaded VB.NET program. After running a particular task in the environment I'm displaying a MessageBox to indicate that the task is complete. Everything works fine, sending data, receiving data, displaying the data, etc. When I display the MessageBox and I click outside the MessageBox, the MessageBox goes behind my Main Screen.

I have another probably easy question to answer but i can't figure it out... I have made a little snake game with a score attached to it running through a timer that outputs to a label.

View 1 Repliesshowing MessageBox's from background workers.My program is a utility that has several functions and each function is boxed in a UserControl and then placed on a TabControl on the main form. A few of the utilities are batch functions that take quite a bit of time to complete their task. In order to allow the user to use the other utilities while a batch utility is running I make use of the BackgroundWorker class. It's quite handy!
My only problem is when I need the user to interact with the background thread, usually due to an error condition. I want to be able to halt the thread and display a MessageBox to the user. At first when you just do it from the background thread as demenstrated in the code below, it appears to work fine. But the MessageBox is not actually parented by the Form. If you select the Form, it will hide the MessageBox and the user thinks that the program has stalled. What's worse is that my program has a setting to allow the user to make the window TopMost, which means that the form will always hide the MessageBox when TopMost.
Option Strict Off
Public Class Form1
Private Sub chkTopMost_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles chkTopMost.CheckedChanged
Me.TopMost = chkTopMost.Checked
[code]....
I have thought about passing the message using ReportProgress(), but the problem with this is that the BackgroundWorker will not halt it's opperation, and there is no built in mechanisim to send a message back to the BackgroundWorker.
i don't if i can make an output that is too long for the MessageBox to [roll] across the screen rather than have [newline] in vb.net
View 8 Repliesi'm using a menustrip. the menuitems click events won't show a messagebox properly. i think it does load, but i've no idea where, because it disables the form + i can't see it anywhere. it might be behind the form. i have to push the enter key to free the form. [Code]

I have a button that when clicked i want the user to make sure that they want to clear data in textbox's so i did a vbYesNo box inside the messagebox.show.i cannot figure out how to determine if its a Yes or a No.If they click YES then i want the text cleared ... if no then show nothing. I know that i have a msgbox there but thats meaningless its just to show if it works or not. once it works then i will remove that code.[code]
View 5 RepliesIs there any difference between the two:
msgbox()
messagebox.show()
Some tutorials use msgbox() some use the other messagebox.show()---I see that both can have an editable style but I was wondering why there are two.
Is it to accommodate for older programmers (who have learnt on an older version of visual basic).
So in that case which one should I use on VB 2010 (VS 2010)

I have an 'invoices' table with a column for the invoice number.
When adding a new invoice, I would like to check if it already exists. If it exists, produce a MessageBox to the user that there's already a record with this number.
I'm using Visual Basic 2010 and SQL Server 2008.
I know that
message.show.add
Displays a message box pop up. How do you go about creating a listbox pop-up similar to the message box pop-up? What is the listbox code equivalent to the above code?
