View 1 RepliesI am looking for a way to be able to use the tab control on my main form and transfer all 3 other forms onto that main form that has the tab control. Problem being is that some functions are named the same in each of the septate forms i want to bring into just one for the tab control.Is there a way to separate the code for each form ON the main form of the tab control so i don't have to rename/recode each of the 3 forms i want to place on the main form of the tab control? [code]so when i put both form1 and form2 code on the main form where the tab control is, its going to tell me that i have a duplicate function name.

View 5 RepliesI have small application which shows an alert in every 45 mins....( to take a break from work :) )..... It is a normal windows form with a timer in it and in every 45 mins I am invoking a message box. I am able to make it work but the problem is that when the application is minimized, the message box is not popping up, it stays with in the parent form (minimized). How can I bring it up to the user focus?
View 4 RepliesI have a 2nd form that is minimized to the taskbar, I can click on the tab and the form opens and shows all of the data fine, but
From the main form, I am maximizing the second form and trying to pass a value to a toolstrip textbox on the second form then press a button on the toolstrip from the second form, I can get this to work fine, but where I am having a problem is
The button searches through a treeview, when I step through my code, I can see the value that I am passing, my code does execute, but the treeview is showing no nodes(but they are really there). At the begining of the code, I put a message box to give me a count of the nodes in the treeview, it shows 0, but I can see all 10000+ nodes. What the textbox is on the toolstrip is a search box. When the form is maximized, I can enter whatever and it finds it with no problems, but if I pass a value it doesnt find anything because the treeview is saying there are no nodes when there is.
I've got this little 'Sticky Notes' type of application and the form I have is a borderless, taskbarless form and for Windows 2000 compatability I'm using VS 2008 and targeting the 2.0 framework. One of the hurdles I have is that in XP, Vista & 7 when you click the Show Desktop button all of my note's windows get minimized and without a taskbar icon, it's not easy to get them back (at least not for a normal user) & I'm looking for a way to either right after the windows minimize I just have them all show again or if I can skip the minimizing message in the wndproc altogether
I've put together a test app that'll show the messages in a listbox for the form, but I'm not sure how to go about skipping sending the message to the form's base class. Here's a snippet, listMessages is the listbox on the form[code]...

I was wondering if it is possible to perform a "mouse"-click without being in the form, like I got this program clicking on certain locations and I would like to use the computer to other stuff in the same time but the mouse keeps going to the location on the screen. I need way to perform a click without using the mouse cursor.
View 6 RepliesI am in the process of creating an all-in-one application for my own purposes. This application has panels with different "Mini-apps" inside of each. Timer, Notepad, Calculator, etc... The top of the application is a drop down menu and each of the drop downs has "Minimize" and "Maximize" for the appropriate application. When the minimize function for a "mini-app" is clicked, then that application is not visible. When maximize is clicked, the the application reappears.What I am attempting to accomplish is that when, for example, the two lower panels are minimized then the form resizes to only show the top two application.Basically, its like rows. If the two bottom are not visible, then the application should resize to fit nicer. An example of this type of application would be Windows Calculator (found in Windows 7 systems and probably other OS).[code]

View 4 RepliesIs there a way to control the size of a minimized MDI form. When I minimize a child form, it apprears at the bottom with the form buttons (minimize, restore and maximize) and just about 2 or 3 characters of the Title Text. I would like to have more of the title text showing so the user can figure out what window he wants to restore if he has a couple of them minimized. If not that, is there a way to have a "tooltip" popup when I move the mouse over the minimized form.
View 2 RepliesI have made a small program that reads the input of a joystick/GamePad and passes it on to a serial port. It works great I can see all the buttons pressed ect ( in a textbox). But When I minimize the form and press some buttons they are no longer passed on to the serial port and not shown into the textbox?

I have an application with a DataGridView and WebBrowser controls. In the DataGridView I load a DataTable using BindingSource. DataTable is just a list of URLs. I use SelectionChanged event on the DataGridView to load a selected URL in the WebBrowser control. The problem I have is that when I minimize form to the tray, it for some reason triggers SelectionChange event multiple times. What's really weird is that if I minimize to the taskbar SelectionChange event doesn't get triggered. It also doesn't get triggered if I load URLs directly to the DataGridView. What triggers SelectionChange and how to get rid of it?
Public Class Form1
Dim URLTable As DataTable = New DataTable("URLs")
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim URLColumn As DataColumn = URLTable.Columns.Add("URL", GetType(String))

I have designed a windows form(to act as a messagebox) with Label and OK, Cancel buttons. I'm on form1 and call this messagebox form in the closing event. If I debug the showdialog of the messagebox form the custom text is displayed on the Label, however if the application is minimized and when i right click on the application in taskbar and select close window then the messagebox form is poped up however the label doesn't show the custom text.

View 2 RepliesI have created an app which has a timer control which, when activated and meets a certain criteria, launches a second form with an alert for the user to review and action. this works just fine. Except.... when the main app is minimised and has lost focus, instead of launching the second form to a normal windows state it opens and sits in a minimized state itself and just flashes. How can I get the the second form to restore to a normal windows state?I have tried form2.focus and tried the windowsstate=normal etc but I'm still barking up the wrong tree.
View 2 RepliesIn my main winform(Form 1)i have there a textbox wherein the user can write a code, beside the textbox is an ellipsis button.

When they type a code on textbox in Form 2 and click on the search button, and when there is a match in the database the details will appear in the datagridview.by selecting an item in the datagridview and clicking Ok button, automatically the code will appear on the textboxt in form 1. How can i automatically transfer the value selected in form 2 to form 1?
View 4 RepliesSo, I'm making a log in page for 'student'. I've two forms. 1) frmStudentRegister 2) frmStudentHome
in frmStudentRegister page, student will enter his first name, last name, email, major etc and will create his profile. When he clicks on 'register' button, the information he entered on the text box will transfer to the second from frmStudentHome.
I've this codes:
lblFname.Text = frmStudentRegister.txtFname.Text
lblLname.Text = frmStudentRegister.txtLname.Text
lblEmail.Text = frmStudentRegister.txtEmail.Text
lblMajor.Text = frmStudentRegister.txtMajor.Text
But when I debug it, frmStudentHome won't show those entries. It's just blank !
