Closing a form

My program requires users to login before use. Using the following code in
the login form:

Me.Opacity = Me.Opacity - 0.2
If Me.Opacity <= 0 Then

Timer1.Enabled = False

If boolExit = False Then

My.Forms.frmMai n.Opacity = 0

My.Forms.frmMai n.Visible = True

Else

Me.Close()

Application.Exi t()

End If

End If

I fade out the login form, and fade in the main form. However if I call
me.close() in the loop that turns on the opacity for the main form the whole
program shuts down. So in the main form I put in the following code:

Me.Opacity = Me.Opacity + 0.1

If Me.Opacity >= 1 Then

Me.Opacity = 1

Timer1.Enabled = False

My.Forms.frmLog in.Dispose()

End If

When I dispose of the form after loading the main form (in the timer event)
or call the My.Forms.frmLog in.Close() method it shuts down the whole
program. How can I just unload the login form?

Thanks.

You need to start your program outside of the login screen. The way I
do it is to start the program in a "sub main" then show the login form
from there.

sub main
dim L as Login
if L.Showdialog = DialogResult.ok then
L.DoFadeOut
dim M as Main
M.ShowDialog
else
'Login Failed
end if
end sub

John,

Boni,

Why not as simple as this (typed here watch typos) in the load_form of your
mainform

\\\\
dim mylogin as new LoginForm
me.visible = false
if myLogin.showdia log <> dialogresult.ok then 'or whatever
me.close
end if
myInformationFr omTheLogin = mylogin.ThePubl icPropertyOrVal ue
me.visible = true
myLogin.dispose
///

I hope this helps,

Cor

In my application I need a way to distiguish between the following events: 1. When a user closes an MDI child window. 2.

My application, however, should not execute this logic if the user closes the MDI parent. I...

For some reason, when I click the X to close my MDI parent form, the action appears to be re-directed to one of the MDI child forms, and the parent remains open. I am then unable to close the application. What should happen, is that the main MDI form should close, taking the child forms with it. There is code to loop through the child forms, remove the controls on each of them, and then close the form, but this code should execute only...

How is the best way to avoid validation when closing a window? For instance, I have a Windows Forms window which has a validation event for a text box. However, if one enters invalid data in then and then attempts to close the window (either via my custom 'Close' box or by clicking the close 'X' in the upper right window corner), the validation event still triggers and it tells the user that they have invalid data. Which of course means...

Does it make sense to put this If e.Cancel Then Exit Sub at the beginning of form closing events so if the user cancels the app's exiting in one Closing routine he will not be asked again by another when its form Closing routine is run? I guess what I'm asking is will that work. If one form sets e.cancelled to true will e.cancel be true when the next form receives a closing event?

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.

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...
