Event from Form to Form

Hi al

I am trying the following
On a base form I open a new form with a treeview
On the base form, there are two buttons
Depending on the selection in the treeview on the new form, I like to enable or disable buttons on the base form

I do not like to declare and open forms as static. Would be nice if I can handl
this somehow with a delegates where I can pass parameters..

Hoping for some answers

Frank,
On the child form, you could declare public events that you want the parent
form to respond too (say, EnableButton1, EnableButton2). Then, when you
create a new instance of the child form (with the treeview on it), before
you call a Show method, bind to those events. Then, in the child form,
raise those events whenever the action occurs that should change the way the
buttons are shown. That will call back to the parent form and execute your
event handlers.

I am writing a VB.NET application in Visual Studio 2003. I have written a method that handles several events, such as closing a form and changing the visible status of a form. I have some code that applies to all these events, but I need to have specific code execute when the form closes. The properties for this method are sender (the originator) and e (event arguments). I know how to get typeof (sender) to determine what form or...

I have two forms, a menu and a data entry form. The entry form is bound to a query against linked SQL server tables. In the deactivate event, I have some code which asks the user if they want to save their changes and they can respond with yes, no or cancel. If they press cancel, the entry form stays active with the changes still entered. So, if I'm on the entry form and have entered data, and then click on the menu, the deactivate event...

I have a puzzling form timer problem that I didn't experience prior to Access 2003 (though I'm not sure access 2003 is to blame). Here's the situation: a computer has two access 2003 databases on it, a frontend and a backend. Case 1: If vba code on the frontend updates many rows (360,000) on the backend, a form's timer event (from the frontend) will stop firing until the user gives the form focus. (Note that the update itself always...

I am experiencing some strange behavior between a UserControl's validating event and a treeview control. Initially, I thought it was related to an issue in the Knowledgebase article 810852 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810852), but then I realized that the hotfix mentioned was in .Net v1.1, which I am using. I took the sample from that article and recreated the situation I see in my application. (Code included below.) If you run the...

In it's simplest form, assume that I have created a usercontrol, WSToolBarButton that contains a button.

I don't think this should be this complicated, but I can't figure it out. I've worked with C# for several years now, but in a web environment, not with windows form. I have a form with a query button on it. If the query returns multiple results, a new window is opened with a grid containing the results. When the user double clicks on the desired row in the grid, I want the first form to populate with the correct data. I don't know how...

I have a .NET 2.0 MDI application where the child form has a Tab Control. Each of the Tab in the Tab Control has a Validating event to handle what it should do when the user changes tabs. But these Validating Events are also fired when either the child form or the main (parent) form Close icon is clicked. And I need for these events to know if they are being invoked because the app (or child window) is being closed. I have set a boolean...

VBA is described as an Event driven programming language. What is meant by this? Access, like most Windows programs, is an event driven application. This means that nothing happens unless it is in response to some event that has been detected by the application. The steps are fairly straightforward: An event happens The event is detected by the application The application responds to the eventThe Windows OS will automatically detect...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: 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,...
