VS 2010 Get Music To Stop Once Form Is Closed?
Jan 25, 2011I created another form that had a pic and two simple buttons, one button plays music the other will stop the music if played and take you back to the previous form. My problem lies in when the users uses the windows "x" button to flose the form, the music does not stop. I have searched and failed and light that could be shed would be awesome.Apparently I saved the wrong file and am not on my VB box so this code is incorrect. I basically added the music to the resources, dim'd it and activated it with a button. The other button not listed in this code was set to "portal.stop()" and "Me.Close()"
Public Class frmFail
Private Sub PictureBox1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Click
Me.Close()

Stopping Multiple Timers - Stop Button To Stop Each Timer One At A Time
Feb 26, 2009Alright, so I'm still working on the slot machine. I have three timers all independently going for my three "wheels" of the slot machine.
My issue, is that I'm trying to make a Stop button to stop each timer one at a time, and I'm not understanding why this code isn't working. The logic completely makes sense, and the first "wheel" stops when I click the button, however, it doesnt appear to stop the other two timers.

Message Box Opens Automatically After Being Closed?
Oct 1, 2011I'm facing a problem with my code. it's all about an if command. When the variable
xglobal doesn't fit the rule (if xglobal >=0 and xglobal<=xlimite) a message box should appear, so it does. However, after being closed the message appears again and so on.
Below you can find the code:

View 3 RepliesVS 2008 - Windows Dialog Forms Hidden But Not Closed
Jan 24, 2010I am using a Windows Dialog form in my VB 2008 project. I bring up the dialog form no problem with the following
Dim resultNewInc As DialogResult
resultNewInc = frmDialog.ShowDialog()
If resultNewInc = DialogResult.OK Then
...some code here ...
End If
And in the Dialog Form, the OK button has code
Me.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK
Me.Close()
But there is one problem. If I call up the dialog form again, the form controls have the text values that were typed in during the previous instantiation and a class which is part of the form was not disposed. So it looks like the form is being "hidden" and not closed. I tried to use the code form.dispose but it didn't work.
Conversion Completed Dialog Box Cannot Be Closed When Converting From VB 2005 To VB 2008?
Dec 28, 2010I've been asked by management to convert all of my applications from VB 2005 to VB 2008 (in preparation for taking them to VB 2010). I have a VS 2005 application that uses an ADO Data adapter which was defined using the GUI. I normally define my connections in code, but have been asked to get away from that in favor of ADO (and similar) data adapters.When I run the conversion wizard in VS 2008, it appears to convert this program, with some warnings and I get the 'Conversion Completed' dialog box. However, the VS 2008, will not let me close the dialog box, even after waiting for 3 hours. The only way to get out is to reboot the system.
View 6 RepliesHow To Stop Printing Dialog
May 31, 2010I am working on an application in VB 2008, converted from VB6, currently running in Win XP. This app processes data from several orbits of satellite telemetry and outputs to the printer a calculation result for each orbit of data. In VB 2008 there is a small dialog that pops up for each page that is printed.It is kind of annoying, continually covers up the program progress bar and, I think, generally slows things down.Is there some way to turn this off in program code when the printer is called?
View 10 RepliesStop Multiple Dialog Boxes Displaying?
Jul 14, 2010I have a very annoying problem and I'm trying to find the simplest solution possible, but I seem to keep complicating it.
My program displays a custom dialog box using the ShowDialog function (I create this form using a New constructor), but while my program waits for input in the dialogbox, my program continues to run other code, (I'm assuming initiated from other messages, but I still can't find good information on this, so as an aside to this topic does anyone have a reference about this), and arrives at this same point where the dialog box is to be displayed and displays it. So I end up getting a flood of dialog boxes.
My goal is prevent this excessive amount of dialog boxes. If the program arrives at this dialog initiation point I would like it to wait/pause until the first dialog box is finished.

View 5 RepliesPassing Information Between Forms/dialogs (Form -> Dialog -> Dialog)?
Dec 22, 2009I often use the process of displaying a dialog from a form, with the dialog user input then used to update the main form without any problem. In a new scenerio I launch the main application screen, I then show a login dialog ontop of the main app screen and can launch another dialog from the login if a new user is required. The plan is to update the login dialog (updating a combobox to reflect the addition of a new user) from the new user dialog.
See code below :-
'Update login forms user list as new user added successfully
frmRoomBookingLogin.cboLogin.DataSource = Nothing
frmRoomBookingLogin.txtPassword.Text = "Updating password from dialog"
MessageBox.Show("The password text is " & frmRoomBookingLogin.txtPassword.Text)
[code]....
The messagebox implies the dialog has been updated yet the text does not change. Is it possible to update the dialog when using a setup such as Form -> dialog -> dialog? I'm intrigued as why the dialog does not reflect changes. I have never refreshed/repainted the dialog as never required to in my other examples when updating a form from a dialog and never encountered a problem when using a two tier form setup.

View 3 RepliesVS 2010 Stop A Block Of Code Executing When User Clicks "Stop"?
Mar 1, 2011I have a START and STOP button and when the user clicks "start" the program does a whole bunch of calculations and all. However, I noticed that when I was testing the program I clicked STOP the program continues to execute stuff.
My START code is basically a while loop that iteratively does some calculations.
So I just put a boolean variable as the while condition and when user clicks stop its set to false and when user clicks start its set to true. However, when I click stop, the condition is set to false yes but it still executes all the code until the condition is re-evaluated right...so my question is how can I get out of the while loop when user instantly clicks "stop"?

View 3 RepliesWinforms - Form Transitions Without Using Timers?
Jun 9, 2011For couple of hobby projects of mine, I've been performing form transitions (fade-in/out, slide-left/right) using timer control, and I know its not the right way to do it. Using timer has its own disadvantages as it is a CPU hog if logic is complex and also, transitions are not smooth. So, I'm wondering how can I perform form transitions without using any timers and just by using native Windows API or any third-party library. I came across with FlowFX but found that it is limited only to .NET Compact framework.

View 5 RepliesVS 2008 - How To Add Dynamic Timers To Form On Runtime
Jan 1, 2010I am working with a simple game idea. I wanted to have two players running around shooting each other (very low graphics, like circles and squares). I've got this far; I have the ability to move around both characters, and change directions etc. ive also been able to set up my shooting. Only problem I run into is getting the bullet to move! I cant use a preset timer, because if I used that, I could only shoot one bullet at a time, so I would need to create new ones dynamically.
So my question is; how does one add dynamic timers to a form on runtime, and alter the tick sub so that it moves the picturebox (bullet) and once it can be moved, (I was thinking about using player locations in relation to the bullet, and if they were equal than the health would go down or whatever, but unfortunately, this means it would have to be directly in the middle of the player, which would be odd..

Form Always Opens As Edited?
Feb 22, 2012I am using VS 2008, Windows XP R3, and Visual Basic.When I open some forms in the form designer, (In Solution Explorer, right click on the form, then select View Designer) the form always opens as Edited. An Asterisk "*" appears after the form name in the open window tabs. If I open the form to just view the code (In Solution Explorer, right click on the form, then select View Code), the form opens normally. This happens for just some forms.
It always happens for the same forms, and never happens for the other forms. What I am missing in those forms where the designer always thinks the form has been edited?
