[RESOLVED] Showing another forms using showdialog

Hello everyone I make a program upon sending emails to my friends using smtp. The problem is that I have confusions why my another form will not show until it is not finished sending all of the messages. I want my next form to show how many percent were finished but the problem is that my form will show only until all the emails are sent on my listbox. I put my code on the load event of the form. Am I incorrect upon viewing my form? Thanks everyone.

Would you like to share your code with us? Otherwise its all just guesswork in the dark.

i think u have a function in load form which sends emails (Syn) or whatever, then u have a function or code that shows ur next form..

Its just a Guess in the DARK..

This is what in my form2 load event:

Code:

---




Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
     
        Dim i As Integer
        Dim j As Integer
With ListView1
                For i = 0 To frmMain.ListView1.Items.Count - 1
                    Dim LVITem As New ListViewItem
                    ' Create some text (= read in from data source)


                    LVITem.Text = frmMain.ListView1.Items(i).SubItems(0).Text '& i.ToString

                    ' Add it to the ListView
                    .Items.Insert(0, LVITem)

                    ' Add the sub items (= read in from data source)
                    LVITem.SubItems.Add(frmMain.ListView1.Items(i).SubItems(1).Text)
                    LVITem.SubItems.Add("")


                Next

                For j = 0 To ListView1.Items.Count - 1
                    holder = ListView1.Items(j).SubItems(1).Text
                    sendHTMLmail()
                Next

            End With
End Sub

---

And this is my sub sendHTML

Code:

---

Sub sendHTMLmail()


        Dim iMsg As Object
        Dim iConf As Object
        Dim Flds As Object
        Dim schema As String
        Dim i As Integer
        nfi.NumberDecimalDigits = 0
        nfi.NumberGroupSeparator = ","


        iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
        iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
        Flds = iConf.Fields

        schema = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/"
        Flds.Item(schema & "sendusing") = 2
        Flds.Item(schema & "smtpserver") = frmMain.txtSMTPServer.Text
        Flds.Item(schema & "smtpserverport") = CInt(frmMain.txtSMTPPort.Text)
        Flds.Item(schema & "smtpauthenticate") = 1
        Flds.Item(schema & "sendusername") = frmMain.txtUsername.Text
        Flds.Item(schema & "sendpassword") = frmMain.txtPassword.Text
        Flds.Item(schema & "smtpusessl") = 1
        Flds.Update()



        Try
            With iMsg
                .To = holder
                .From = frmMain.txtFrom.Text
                .Sender = frmMain.txtFromDisplayName.Text
                .ReplyTo = frmMain.txtReplyTo.Text

                If frmMain.txtAttachment.Text.Length = 0 Then
                    .Subject = frmMain.txtSubject.Text
                    .HTMLBody = frmMain.RichTextBox2.Text
                    .Organization = "Arabian Publications Inc."
                    .Configuration = iConf
                    .Send()
                Else
                    .AddAttachment(frmMain.txtAttachment.Text)
                    .Subject = frmMain.txtSubject.Text
                    .HTMLBody = frmMain.RichTextBox2.Text
                    .Organization = "Arabian Publications Inc."
                    .Configuration = iConf
                    .Send()
                End If


            End With

     
            iMsg = Nothing
            iConf = Nothing
            Flds = Nothing

            For i = 0 To ListView1.Items.Count - 1
                ListView1.Items(i).SubItems(2).Text = "Sent Successfully"

            Next

         
        Catch ex As Net.Mail.SmtpException
            MsgBox(iMsg.GetLastErrDescription, vbOKOnly, "ANSMTP COM Object")

   
        End Try

   

    End Sub

the second column of my listview contains the email ids and i want to fill the next row to it if it will be successfully sent or not. Thanks everyone for the reply.

Not sure if this applies, but if you put Form1.ShowDialog in Form1's Load Event, then it will not finish loading until you do something on Form2.

thanks for the information everyone.. have a nice day.. :)
