[vs 2005] Rather Odd issue

[dminder]

I am using vs 2005 compact framework. For the life of me I could not remember what order the form's methods go. I am trying to make an array of forms so that users can move back and forward using shortcut keys....anyways here is the code I ran:

Private Sub FrmMain_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Activated
        MsgBox("Activated")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Click
        MsgBox("Click")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_Closed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closed
        MsgBox("Closed")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_Closing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Closing
        MsgBox("Closing")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_Deactivate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Deactivate
        MsgBox("Deactivate")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_Disposed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Disposed
        MsgBox("Disposed")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.DoubleClick
        MsgBox("DoubleClick")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_EnabledChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.EnabledChanged
        MsgBox("EnabledChanged")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_GotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.GotFocus
        MsgBox("GotFocus")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_HandleCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.HandleCreated
        MsgBox("HandleCreated")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_HandleDestroyed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.HandleDestroyed
        MsgBox("HandleDestroyed")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_HelpRequested(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.HelpEventArgs) Handles MyBase.HelpRequested
        MsgBox("HelpRequested")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
        MsgBox("KeyDown")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyPress
        MsgBox("KeyPress")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyUp

    End Sub


    Public Sub FrmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        MsgBox("Load")

        'Set/Show UserName that Logged In
        UserLabel.Text = "Main Menu: " + GV.UserName
    End Sub

       Private Sub FrmMain_LostFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.LostFocus

    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Paint
        MsgBox("Paint")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_ParentChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.ParentChanged
        MsgBox("ParentChanged")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_Resize(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Resize
        MsgBox("Resize")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_Validated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Validated
        MsgBox("Validated")
    End Sub

    Private Sub FrmMain_Validating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles MyBase.Validating
        MsgBox("Validating")
    End Sub
End Class

After running the program as is, I got a stackoverflowexception on FrmMain_Activated. Any ideas why???

Thanks,

Hi,
using msgbox is probably causing form events to fire, which create msgbox, which cause events to fire.....


I know in VB6 this was documented, but I haven't seen it in .Net, possibly, because depending on events, it could change.

If you are trying to let the users move between forms, you can load them up, and hide them, (dim frmx as new form1:frmx.show etc) but it wouldn't be the best use of memory.

Have you considered using panels?
