Hi
I'm working on a program that will have 3 forms: a main form, a status
form and a sub-form.
The main form and status form are always appear, and my sub-form is a
singleton (for performance issue).
As usual, I have two ways to display the sub-form: Show() and
ShowDialog().
When I use ShowDialog() (the main form calls it), the program works
fine but I cannot access the main form and the status form (also
called by the main form). Because I still want to have access to the
other forms, I have to use Show()
But my program will crash with Show() because unlike ShowDialog(),
when the form that opened with Show() is closed, the form is also
disposed. This is not what I wanted because it's a singleton and I
want it to be disposed when the main form closed (the whole program
terminates).
I think I should override an event to suspent the Disposing but I
can't find which event I should use, and how would I do it. Any help
is welcome.
Best Regards,
Homa Wong

I am using the no-arg ShowDialog() method hoping that the window would not be
modal to any other window like the other ShowDialog(IWin32Window) method
does, but when this opens it somehow becomes modal to my main window- even
though I don't see how it could even be getting a reference to my main window.
What I need is to open a new window but still have my main window available
for interaction- the way it opens now it forces focus on this...

It would be a long and bizzare post to explain how I found it, but, in a
nutshell...
I have a main app. I have 2 "wizard" forms which I always .ShowDialog so
they're modal.
Sometimes, Wizard B needs to be called from Wizard A. This is the only time
any wizard can call the other. This creates a situation where I have Wizard
A being shown as dialog over the main app, and Wizard B is being shown as
dialog over Wizard A.

3 forms.
form 1, when button clicked instantiates form 2 which opens but is not
shown. form 2 instantiates form 3 as showdialog. form 3 finishes, raises
an event that form 2 catches. during the catch, form 2 closes and disposes
the instance of form 3, opens itself as showdialog, and displays some data
to the user. the user can select one of these data and upon doing so raises
an event that form 1 catches (and closes and disposes of...

First, I'm not 100% sure where to post this question. I use VB.NET for
this project, but it's really a design question (a question on which
method to use when solving this problem).
In this medium sized (30 or so forms) application, our users have
requested a more visual notification of when the client (this app) is
communicating with the server, or for other lenghty processes.

Hi all
Im not sure of the best way to be displaying my forms and just want a bit of
clarification. Being only recently moved to vb.net im still used to the old
vb6 form.show method, now under vb.net that doesnt seem to do alot most of
the time so far as i can tell. So im using form.showdialog all the time. But
it seems as though once i call this code, all control transfers to the open
form and only when closed the control returns to the...

I have a sequence of commands like this:

frm.LoadData();
Boolean confirm = (frm.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK);
The LoadData method loads information from database. The problem is,
when I was debugging the application, it doesn't show the form. It just
pass through the ShowDialog() method, and my flag confirm becomes

Hi there,
I was wondering if there was any way to stop the hiding of a dialog from
returning from the ShowDialog function?
i.e. If you create your own dialog and put some code in that hides it
temporarily during it's use, the ShowDialog function will return the second
it is hidden, this is the same for ".Hide()" as well as sending
ShowWindow(...SW_HIDE).

Hello -
I have the following code to detemine a file name when my application
is saving a file. The problem is that if the file already exists and
I select the Yes button in the "Do you want to replace" dialog, the
DialogResult is Cancel instead of OK. Is there something I am
missing?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
