View 1 RepliesI build my first Project composed of several forms and it�s working just fine. Id like now to redesign the project as a MDI Application. Once created the parent form, I can create child forms but thats not what I need. What I would need is convert my already designed and working forms to MDI child forms. How can that be done?
View 1 RepliesSo on Form1 I got a TreeView, and on Form2 I have a Button. What I want is when I click the Button on Form2, it adds a Treenode to the Treeview on Form1... How do I do this? Do I use inheritance or partial class or what?

I am currently making a book shopping cart. look at the pictures to get an idea.(main is the first form "file books" is when the second printbook opens and user selects. The application has four books and calculating the subtotal of them. The user can choose to buy any ammount of books. The "Add book to Cart" button calls the module1 Module1.main1()
And this is the module1 code ( I tryed using a select case)

I have a couple of questions regarding the use of multiple forms within a single project.I'm currently using a button to load a second form so that the user can select different options and then load those options from the first form.Basically, I have a check box on form2 and I want form1 to be able to know if it is checked. I thought I could just use:
if CheckBox1.Chcked = True Then
Etc.
End If
But, when I do, I get an error saying it can't identify the object I'm referencing.Also, when I open the second box and I click my "OK" or "Cancel" button, the page reloads and then I must press it a second time for it to actually close.This is the code I'm using on my first form:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim frmDialogue As New frm2Toolest
frmDialogue.ShowDialog()
If frmDialogue.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then

The second form that has the buttons:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOK.Click
Me.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK
End Sub

I created a VB.NET Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio 2008. When I run my program from the command-line, I get no output (only the next prompt).
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Debug.Write("Foo")
Debug.Flush()

EDIT: Can a program have a form and a console?
EDIT2: However, the output appears on the next command-line prompt. Can a Winforms application tell the command-line to wait until it's finished instead of immediately returning?

View 1 RepliesIm very new to programming all together, but Ive recently been messing around with Visual Basic 2008..
1. When using multiple forms, how do I make a form be the form that opens with the program (default form?)?
2. How do I assign a button to open a second form?
With what I'm trying to make, I have both forms ready, I just need form2 to be the one that is the first to open when running and I need the code for a button to open form1.
I am using a parent for with child forms and i have made the option to "Float" the child windows outside of the parent form and "dock" them back in if you want.I'm doing this with a button on the child form to float/dock it. On the other hand I'd like to use a checkable item on the menu to choose if they are docked or floated from the opening point.
View 6 RepliesI have a login form (startup form) with OK/Cancel button, and each set on the form as Accept/Cancel button - works fine.
After login my main form loads, it has keypreview on. This main form opens a new form (after user clicks a client search button) with an OK/Cancel set up the same as the login form.
On this search form, the Enter key works (it calls the OKbutton click just fine), but the Esc key does not.
The cancelbutton property if set to the cancel button, and this form does not use keypreview.
The form has focus, I clicked it to be sure, but in any case the enter key works.
My Problem is, that I have some Buttons, Labels and TextBoxes I need to generate after the User told a number of Players. With the Code I'm using now only the last Player will have these Controls working, because they are moved - for example - from Player 1 to Player 3. how to create such a ControlArray The biggest Problem I have is, that these buttons have to have names like "1", "2", "3" and so on (or if it works somehow to read out the Index of a ControlArray the names will not be necessary).
This is the code I am using right now to generate the Controls, but as you see it won't work, because the properties will be changed when the For-Function restarts.What I need is a hint on how to get these Controls/Buttons into a Control-Array and then read out the Index-Number to use them in the Functions that are called.

I have two forms frmA, frmB. I have a listview on frmA with a couple items with tags. In the listviews Itemactivate event I get the FocusedItem's tag and open frmB. Everything works fine until I close frmB and come back to frmA. The original item is still selected but the Itemactivate no longer opens frmB. I can step right into the frmB.Show line on frmA, it's just that frmB nevers shows.

I've tried adding Hides, Activates, etc. with no luck.
I have the following sub that displays the progress (the Animation speed is 50 - but I've tried with other values)
[Code]...
I should mention that the control is created dynamically and placed on a dynamically created TabPage that in turn is added to the main tab control that is on the static form (Form1) that is refreshed - but I do believe that 'Refresh' should ripple though to all sub controls?
So here is the deal. I am making my own program for fun, and I have this road block. Basically I have a 'Parent Form' which we'll call 'frmMain' and I also have another form which we'll call 'frmSchedule' (work with me here)

View 3 RepliesI have a form from which I am visually representing data (from access database). I have set up a user log on a separate form (allows user to make comments as they scroll through the data and see any points of interest etc). The second form is linked via a textbox in terms of a common field in this case the field name is "Datetime".
What I want to do is be able to scroll through the data and make notes on the second form and add them to another table in the database. I have managed to do all the above but obviously loose focus of the second form when i scroll through the data on the first. Is there any way of being able to interact with both forms at the same time?

It appears that my favorite thing in the world is tackling projects that are beyond my current knowledge and abilities. I have a little project that I am working on which is a simple image viewer stocked with (upon completion) your standard Load..., Next/Previous, Zoom In/Out, Actual Size, and Full Screen capabilities. However, I am running into a few snags:
(1) I've been able to get my "Load..." button to display a file dialog box, but I cannot seem to get a working filter (with which only image file types are allowed to be selected) in working order.
(2) I have a PictureBox object (entitled PictureBox1) that displays the image selected via the file dialog box, but it loads images in their full size (1:1/100% zoomed) state without scrollbars, etc. to allow me to navigate the loaded image. I would like to have it load the image, initially, to fit within the dimensions of PictureBox1 and from there be able to zoom in/out via my "Zoom In/Out" and "Actual Size" buttons and be able to scroll if the zoom level is beyond the dimensions of PictureBox1.
(3) It dawned on me that I haven't the faintest idea how to get my "Next/Previous" buttons to allow the user (me) to navigate, in succession, the images contained in the folder in which the currently loaded image is stored. [code]
If it is deemed that this thread is inappropriately requesting help, I ask that it be locked/deleted quickly as I recognize that this is a large community with many discussions going without need of unwelcome posts.
I have a basic three form application. It doesn't seem to close after navigating through forms. If I were to open the application, and the main form is displayed. If I press the X button, the application closes fine(Goes from processes) If I were to open the application, and then navigate from the main form to another form using me.hide & form1.show, and press the red X on Form1, the application again, closes fine.
