'm working on a Windows form application using VS 2008. I'm starting to get more and more forms in my application. There are times when I would just like to view the form I'm working on. Is there a way to view a form without having to change the startup from to the form you want to view?

View 12 RepliesAlright so im working with a Tabbed web browser and i cant find a way to change the startup form by a button click..This is what im trying to make: In my webbrowser you can open a security window, in that window you can choose to "enable password on startup" or "disable password on startup".

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a 'trial version' for a software of mine, currently it is pay-only. Basically the most efficient way I can think of is to simply change the startup form of the trial version after 15 days. The new startup form will simply be a request to register.

View 3 RepliesI can hide my startup form (or make it appear hidden) on startup. I can start my app on windows startup--through registry values--if the user checks a checkbox.
But if the app starts up on windows startup, I want the form to be hidden, so the program can just keep working without bothering anyone. If it starts up because the user started it, I want the form to be showing, because the user probably wants to change some settings or something.
I want to be able to get & change the startup type for a service through a Windows Application (Automatic, Manual, Disabled).Is there a simple way to do this? I didn't see anything using the ServiceController.I found another thread to use a vbscript but rather do it directly through my application.

That's it. I found a thread that speculated it might be do-able using System.Management but after looking through the documention in the library I can't find which might do that.
Note: It looks like this might be possible using BCDEdit (which I could call through a Shell command) but I can't find the syntax for that either. I only mention it because that would be a solution to my problem if it can't be done internally from the program I'm writing.
when i change the startup window on the application settings it still doesnt apply the change i made
for example i change the startup for to reservation but the startup form in execution is still the client form

View 3 RepliesVB2008 application.
Using a splashscreen.
When the spashscreen is done, the main menu for the program appears.
The problem is that the main menu appears UNDER things already open on the desktop.
Always On Top could be the answer BUT if I do that, all sub-menus will be UNDER the main menu rather than stacked on top.

View 2 RepliesI have an problem to assign a startup form in vb.net. I have three forms:
1) Registration Form
2) Login Form
3) Main Form
Firstly i have set set startup form as registration in properties =>Application after registration completed or saved i am displaying the Login form by hiding the registration form. and entering username and password it displays the Main form. Now the twist when i exit from application next time i started to run my project where i can check if their is entry in registration form it will directly goto login form.
I need to put following code in the Constructor of my startup form.
JohnKenedy.BusinessSQLEXPRInstaller _ins = new JohnKenedy.BusinessSQLEXPRInstaller(" _ <Installation Display Name>", "localhost", "<New database instance name>", _
"<new database name>", "<database password>", "<database backup filename>");
if (_ins.IsDone == false) _ins.ShowDialog();
if (_ins.IsRestart == true) {
Application.Exit();
this.Close();
return;
}
But I really do not know what the Constructor is and how to access it?
make my application choose which form to startup using an IF statement. Where can I type my IF statement to make it work that way? Please explain in very simple terms.

View 2 Repliesthis might be a really dumb question, but if someone could enlighten me I'm writing a Winforms application in VS2008 vb.net.The application starts with a main form. I've got a status bar at the bottom of the main form, indicating the application status. I've got a 'SetAppStatus' method on the Main form.
I'm writing a class that needs to update this status. So in the class I'm Importing the Main Form. But I don't know how to call this SetAppStatus method because I don't know what the instance of the main form is called Plus am I doing this the right way? I'm still grappling a bit with how .NET all fits together and it can get a bit baffling :)
