View 3 RepliesHide Form On Startup If App Occurred Because Of Windows Startup?
Jun 20, 2010I 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.

View 3 RepliesGetting A Form To Startup On Top
Jul 28, 2010VB2008 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 RepliesName Of Startup Form Instance?
Aug 2, 2010this 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 :)

VS 2005 A Startup Form Has Not Been Specified?
May 12, 2009I have a VB.net program that originally had a form. I added a module and then deleted the form, but now I get the error...
"A startup form has not been specified"
With VB6 I would change the startup object to sub main, but I can't see how to do this in the properties of the project. I tried changing the application type to console, but then I get the following error...
No accessible 'Main' method with an appropriate signature was found in 'WindowsApplication1'
How can I do this without using the original form?

Abort Startup And Close Form?
Jan 26, 2009I've got a single form application.
In the Sub New() of that form I'm creating two database classes.
In those classes if I get database errors (such as connection issues) I'm messagebox'ing the error message and setting an ERRFLAG property.
Back in the Sub New() I'm checking that ERRFLAG and I thought I could ME.CLOSE() - but that's not working.
What all is best practice for this type of operation?
This is what I had up to now
Sub New()
Me.CMCStarting = True
' This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.

Datagridview Seems To Cause Startup Form To Appear Even After Been Hidden?
Feb 15, 2010I have created a DB with access and imported it into my application. What I am trying to do is startup with regi.vb and test to see if there are any entries into the DB and if so, hide the startup form(regi.vb) and show the login.vb form. have done a test and it loads regi.vb then I enter some details into the textboxes and then after clicking a button, it inserts the info from the textboxes into the DB. It then loads login.vb, which is fine, but then if i exit the app and reload it, it tests to see if there is anything in the DB and when it finds that there is, it reloads the bloody regi.vb(startup form)!!So why, when it discovers that the DB is not empty, it re-opens the startup form??
I have used login.show()
me.hide()
Here is the code for the startup form (regi.vb)

Make Startup Form Invisible?
Oct 8, 2009So I have a program that only has one form in it, this form is just an "About" window that appears when a specific context menu item is clicked from the system tray icon (NotifyIcon) that is on the form.
All I want to do is make it so that when the program is launched, the form is not displayed at all and just the system tray icon appears.
I have accomplished this by doing the following but just wondered if there is a better/easier way?
1. Set the Opacity of the form to 0 in the designer
2. Set the ShowInTaskBar property to False in the designer
3. Use a timer that is started in the form Load event to call Me.Hide after 1 second
Then when I want to show the form I just set the opacity back to full and call Me.Show
