VB.NET:Simple Question on MessageBox.......[Resolved]

[toytoy]

Say i have two forms, A and B....

when i click one button from form A....it will load form B..

now how to let the messagebox to display on form B after form B is load when i click on form A button...

instead of displaying the MessageBox first before form B is load when i click on form A button ...

Thanks

What if showing the messagebox in form B load event?

[toytoy]

I have already tried...

but the messagebox will appear before form B is load...

[veryjonny]

How about a timer control to display the MessageBox?


BTW, why are you showing the MessageBox on the form loading part?

[toytoy]

the idea is something like pop up messageboxbox when you open a new form..

when the user click on form A button ....say the user enter some data in

form A then it will save these data and display it on form B messagebox to

tell the user these data is what you key in or other ...etc

the idea is something there...

You should use form B Activated event:

    Private Sub formB_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Activated
          if isFirsTime then
              ' show messagebox
          end if
    End Sub

Do you want to pass some value from the calling form to the called form or its simply trying to show a message box?

[toytoy]

Yes..some value is going to pass through..

[rjv_rnjn]

in that case you might need to use properties on the called form. something like:

 
dim _CallingForm as form1
Public Property CallingForm() as form1
Get
    return _CallingForm
end get
Set (ByVal value as Form1)
   _CallingForm = Value
end set
end property

Above code on the called form and on the calling form, something like

Callingform.textbox.text = textbox1.text 

[toytoy]

I do it in a odd way....

but still can works...

Hope have any better way than this....

'In Form 1'
Private Sub btnGoToForm2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) HandlesbtnGoToForm2.Click
    Dim a As New Form2
    a.Show()
    MessageBox.Show("Open Form 2")
    a.Activate()    ' probably not really needed, depends on your layout
    Me.Hide()
End Sub

Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    ' no MessageBox here
End Sub
