Windows Forms

L
Hi,

I am writing an ftp program and I provide a form interface (say
Form1) to display the status to the window. This form1 reads an ini
file, which has all the settings needed to do the ftp (Ex: IP address,
username, etc) and starts doing the ftp displaying corresponding
messages to window. This Form1 has a mainmenu and menu items. One of
the menu items is "SetUp". If I want to change the setting used for the
ftp process I can click this menuitem. When I click this menu item, it
will open another form (say
Form2) which has text boxes for entry values of IP addresses, username,
etc and two buttons "OK" and "CANCEL". Form2 reads the ini file and
loads the text boxes when it opens up. When I change something in the
textboxes and click "OK", it should save them to the ini file and
close.

The problem is when Form2 opens, the ftp process should stop and wait
untill I click ok on Form2 which is not happening. Form1 is just
continuing doing its ftp job and displaying messages to window while
Form2 is open. How can I make Form1 stop the ftp, untill I click "OK"
on Form2. Also after I click "OK", the Form1 should start the ftp again
from the begining, not from where it left off when the menuitem "SetUp"
click event got triggered. How do I achieve this

By the way I am using delegates to display messages to the UI (Form1).

The explanation is a bit lengthy but I am not able to think of small
sample code to put up here.

Thanks in Advance,
Lalasa.

Hi,

Use Form.ShowDialog () instead of Show
also if you are using a thread to do the transfer you should stop the
thread.

cheers,

Hi, I'm getting an exception that really has me stumped. It's sporadic at best, it's only happened a handful of times. This particular time it happened when the user pressed 'Alt-S' to save the data that they were entering. Following is all exception information. Any thoughts much appreciated. Cheers

What would be a good way to check programmatically whether a service was running? We have a service that dies periodically and I need to check to see if this service is running. I know how to check to see if the status is in stopped or running mode. But that doesn't tell me if it is actually running. I need to know this so that if it happens I can programmatically start the same service on another machine.

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,...
