Why is it that when I am debugging an application that has a call to
Form.ActiveForm , if I set a breakpoint before the call then when I reach
that statement a NullReferenceEx ception is thrown, but if the breakpoint was
set following the call to Form.ActiveForm , then I can continue the debug
session without a problem?
Thanks,
Dennis

Dennis,
Probably because it tries to get a form from the active window handle.
If the current window is the debug window, then it doesn't have a managed
window to map to =)
Hope this helps.

I thought it might be something like that, I just wasn't sure whether or not
the vs.net environment could compensate for that in debug mode.
Thnaks,

Hi,
I used following sentex to change form width:
MainForm.ActiveForm.width = 200
However, a error was generated: An unhandled exception of
type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred. I am
confused. The same command works for other applications.
Any idea.

Hello all,
I have a C# control that is housed on a form that was created in VB 6.
There are some activities I want to do only if the control is on the
ActiveForm. However, since the form is a VB 6 form when I call
Form.ActiveForm I get a null back, even though I can see the form is
the active windows form. Is there a good way to get the ActiveForm in
this scenario?
Thank you.

OK--Beginner question--
I have a project with one form -- Form1. To change the text, why can't
I use "Form1.Text = something"? Instead I have to use
"Form1.ActiveForm.Text = Something". As an exercise, I rewrote a timer
app that I wrote in VB 5.0. You set the time, and when it runs, it
minimizes until the time is up, and then pops back up again and gives an
alerting sound. In VB 5.0, I was able to write the time to the forms
text...

Form activeForm = System.Windows.Forms.Form.ActiveForm;
Form activeMdiChildForm = activeForm.ActiveMdiChild;
This code is in a component of mine and is triggered from various places
within my application. My problem is that when I run the app
Form.ActiveForm is always set, whereas when I am stepping through code using
the debugger it is always null. This results in a NullReferenceException

Hi there,
Does anyone know how to (generically) determine the currently active form for an application using a "static" function (so I can call it from anywhere). There is no offiical way I've been able to find so I've written the following for starters:
public static Form GetActiveForm()
{
// Returns null for an MDI app
Form activeForm = Form.ActiveForm;
if (activeForm == null)

I have a strange situation. I create a very simple Windows Forms

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:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
