The best way (IMO) to prevent user mistakes is a confirmation page.

I want to prompt the user to confirm a delete, however, I am paranoid that they may accidentally hit enter key and delete. (you know how data enters will just cruise through messages) Anyway.... any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to have to use the "response" function instead. Jeremy

Hello, I'm finding that if I set the "Cancel" property during the AppStartup event, the application's Splash form remains loaded. A call to the Close property of the SplashForm at that point returns a cross-threading error, since (it appears) the Splashform is loaded by a different thread. Any advice?

My problem is that, when the user clicks on the "X" button of the form...

Is there a newer version of javaScript that will allow other text on the confirm dialogue box in place of "Ok" and "Cancel" Specifically for FireFox. I know that I can use visual basic for internet explorer, but that cannot be used in FireFox.

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,...
