Winapi - Closing A Modal Popup?
Dec 15, 2009
I want to wait for and close a modal form (a popup) from another application, as soon as it appears. I want to do this from VB.NET, but suggestions in C# should be easily translateable.
I can hard-code the modal popup's caption in my app, since it's long and unique. What I want to do is simulate either the user clicking on the close ("X") button on the form, or a click on the defeault, tab-order 0 button of the form. Either would work.
Maybe I need more info about the modal popup other than the title bar's caption? In any case, it's safe to use it as an unique identifier of that modal form. I also want that code to terminate checking as soon as the first event of closing the popup happens.
I believe it's trivial, but I can't find any ready info on that. Microsoft says I should not send WM_CLOSE to the modal popup, since it will call DestroyWindow() instead of EndDialog(), but to be honest I don't even know what "sending WM_CLOSE" to the "window" means =/

However, I am not using a gridview so editing is not as simple as an edit within a gridview. The modal popup disappears when I click on the edit button. Here is what I have so far, but in the codebehind I get an error saying that my modal isn't declared.In the image below, the little pencil image next to the close button is what I click on to edit the description. When I click on it, the modal disappears, so I cannot edit the text.
<!-- Descriptions -->
<asp:TabPanel ID="tab2" runat="server" HeaderText="Descriptions">
<HeaderTemplate>Descriptions</HeaderTemplate>

I have a modal popup extender on a parent form (called from a child aspx is in an iFrame). I'm able to show it by calling
parent.ShowModal();
Which is a javascript function on the parent page that executes $find('ModalPopupExtender1').show();
It works great. But now I've discovered a new problem.
After the VB code-behind is finished executing on the child page, I'd really like to hide that modal form. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against modal popups. I rather like them in fact. It's just that my users would like it better if they could continue working after the VB code-behind (child page) is finished executing. I tried
ParentForm.ModalPopupExtender1.Hide()
Top.ModalPopupExtender1.Hide

I have a gridview that appears in a modal popup that is generated dynamically and is bound to a dynamically generated SqlDataSource. I did this to hopefully take advantage of the gridview's automatic editing capabilities. My problem is that when the edit button is clicked the modalpopup closes due to a full postback in spite of the fact that my gridview is in an update panel. I looked at solutions here and here but neither fixed the problem. I've also tried every combination under the sun regarding the positioning of the ModalPopupExtender in relation to the update panel etc, and have tried changing UpdateMode to conditional as well.
Markup:
<span class="none"><asp:Button ID="btnDummy" runat="server" Text="Dummy" /></span>
<ajax:ModalPopupExtender ID="mpLabel" runat="server" TargetControlID="btnDummy" BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground" PopupControlID="pnlLabels"></ajax:ModalPopupExtender>
<asp:Panel ID="pnlLabels" DefaultButton="btnOk" Style="display:none;" runat="server">
<div style="background-color:#fff;border:1px solid black;padding:7px;">

I have a modal popup that allows an admin to choose from a variety of checkboxes to add features to a specific product. If there is a checkbox that an admin believes should be available but isn't because that feature is not in the database, I have added a textbox so that user can add a new feature to the product.
Once I added the textbox, it stopped allowing inserts. At first it was in the same If Else as the checkbox for each loop, but I have recently changed it so the textbox is in it's own for each loop. I have an underline under the words txtFeature.Text that says Value of type 'Char' cannot be converted to 'System.Web.UI.WebControl.Textbox.'
vb code:
For Each feature As ListItem In cbxAddFeature.Items
If feature.Selected Then
Dim strSQL As String = "INSERT INTO Marketing

I have a problem I am trying to set the parent textbox from the modal popup.
Although I found the control from the modal popup with the below code
DirectCast(Parent.Page.Form.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder1").FindControl("myAccordion").FindControl("txtTo"), TextBox).Text = str
This is being called on button click when the user has finished selecting from the Checkboxlist.
When the parent page is shown again though the textbox is empty.
The scenario of my user control is that a user is to select from a checkbox list which is a list of emails.
When done has been clicked then it is required that the selected emails be forwarded to the parent webpage.
Then the To Textbox in this case will be filled with the emails that the user has selected.

There may be times when it would be useful for your code to be able to find and close modal dialogs displayed by an application. Perhaps you do not want to have to wait indefinitely for your user's input, or are using the COM Web browser control to automatically navigate Web page and would like to interactively close alert messages that pop up.Digging into our Interop toolbox, we find that this is a relatively simple process using a few core Win32API calls. Starting with the handle of the main window associated with the dialog (this is the form from which the messagebox was shown, whether from your code or from a Web page hosted in a Web browser control on the form), the GetWindow function can be used to retrieve a handle to a dialog windows (called a popup by the Windows API) being displayed (if any). The same function can then be used to enumerate the child windows of the dialog to find a button on the dialog to click in order to close it, and the SendMessage API function can be used to simulate that click, effectlvely closing the dialog window.
NOTE: At the top of whatever code file you put this code, be sure to include the following line (thanks poiygon for pointing this out):Code:Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices this allows for the shortcuts to the DllImport attributes.[code]This sample can be easily modified to close a dialog in another application (by using the MainWindowHandle of that application in the LookForAndCloseIEPopup function, instead of "Me.Handle") or to close any other type of modal dialog message being displayed to your user.

I have a modal form that does double duty.When a user wants to add a new object to a database, I open the form blank and they fill it out. When the form closes, all of the data is passed back to my main form and is used to create the new object in the database.When a user wants to edit an existing object, I open the form and pre-populate all of the fields with the object's data.I'm running checks on the form as they edit the fields, only enabling the "OK" button (which will update the database) if the form has actually been changed. If they make a change and then undo it, the "OK" button is reset to Enabled = False.At the bottom of the form are a ComboBox, two buttons and a ListBox. The intent is to allow the user to select an item from the ComboBox and "Add" ("Add" button) to the ListBox, or select an item in the ListBox and "Remove" ("Remove" button) it FROM the ListBox.
This function works fine when the form is loaded blank.When the form is loaded with data, however, (and in the testing I've done, the ListBox has no items in it to start, which is valid), adding an item from the ComboBox to the ListBox causes the Modal form to close with a DialogResult of Cancel.I've tried to trace the source of this issue, but stepping through each line in debug mode gives me no clue as to why this is happening.I COULD remove all of the checks and update the form each time the user presses "OK" (in the case of no changes, the database data would be overwritten with the same data), but that seems kludgy and less elegant. Plus, I'd like this logic to work.

I am adding records to a database from a modal popup. After hiding the modal popup, the page has not been refreshed (even though I have Re-bound the controls). I have reviewed a few postings on the web about this but the solution still evades me. I have attached my code after removing some of the extra detail.
It seems I need to cause a postback, but I don't know what needs to be changed. Some posts have talked about the extender being misplaced.<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="Head" Runat="Server">
<div class="divBorder">
<asp:DataGrid id="dgrSessionFolders" runat="server" BorderWidth="2px"
BorderStyle="Solid" BorderColor="#C0C0FF"

I have a asp grid with a few columns that bind to data. The last column has been converted to a template-field. In this template-field is a button with a modal popup extender attached to it. Hidden inside this field is a modal popup. This modal popup is used to add a new account. it contains 2 text boxes, drop down lists and buttons("Add" and "Cancel"). When "add" is clicked the modal should close after the inserting of the new account in the code behind.
The Problem: I get the popup to display and load the Drop down lists from the cache, without problem. How do I get the button click event to fire in the code behind. I've tried using a JavaScript function that performs a _doPostBack('btnAddAcc','') but it keeps returning the error "JavaScript error: Object expected". I gathered after about 1 hour on Google that it is because "btnAddAcc' is not found because it is actually within the grid-view cell and can't be directly accessed. Using page methods and ajax calls is a last resort as the company has a strict policy against this and only allowes this after a bunch of paperwork.
The Code:
<asp:GridView ID="gvNEA" runat="server" CssClass="gridA_Orange"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowPaging="True"
EmptyDataText="No transactions with 'Non Existent Account(s)'"

Based on our tests primarily done in VB.NET in VS2010 it seems that when you close a WinForm the "RowValidating" event of the DataGridView on that form behaves differently depending on whether the form is MODAL or NON-MODAL. What we did was open the form (MODAL and NONMODAL) and changed a value of a cell and then immediately clicked the "X" to close the form. It looks like the "RowValidating" event DOESN'T fire if the grid is on a MODAL form but it DOES fire when the grid is on a NON-MODAL form. We can't figure out why that is... Is this a known bug in .NET?

How To Avoid The Closing Of A Combo Box Popup Window In Datagrid? I was trying to block the closing of a custom combo box popup window in my custom DataGrid. The popup window comes by pressing F4 or ALT+DOWN keys which is getting closed if I press the down arrow for the first time after showing the first value in the combo box as selected. Next time onwards, if I press the F4 key and down arrow, I can move to any item in the popup window and select the item using keyboard and in that case, the popup window is not getting closed till I press the ENTER key or selection using the Mouse. Is there any specific reason for this behavior or something is missing in my code part?
