I want to show a Form called TTT so I tried this:
public static TTT ttt_local = new TTT();
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ttt_local.Show();
}
Then I want to close the Form from inside so ttt_local closes itself when a button in ttt_local is pressed. That works but if I want to reopen ttt_local I get an ObjectDisposedException. Can someone help me please?
You should not need to let a form close itself, however you can set its visibility or simply hide it (the same also applies for showing a form):
Consumer-code:
var ttt = new TTT();
ttt.Show();
TTT-class:
public class TTT : Form
{
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Hide();
}
}
Now call ttt.Show() again within your consumer-code, not the form-class itself.
Alternativly you may set the visibility of the form using Form.Visibility.
You have two options.
Use instance variable instead of class variable and let the things work as it is now.
Don't dispose the form, just live with Show/Hide options.
.
Option 1:
public TTT ttt_local = new TTT();
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(ttt_local == null) ttt_local = new TTT();
ttt_local.Show();
}
Option 2:
Don't close the form, just play with hide/show or even set the Visible property.
What is the reason of using a global variable? You should only put the variable definition inside the event function:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TTT ttt_local = new TTT();
ttt_local.Show();
}
Whenever the event is triggered, the variable creates and then it disposes with closing the form.
You can show it and then hide it like that:
ttt_local.Show();
ttt_local.Hide();
or close:
ttt_local.Close();

i just want to call a method in my user control when i press a button in my main form. I've tried calling it directly but it doesn't work.
here is my sample code
`User control:
public void replaceText()
{
label1.Text = "i'm here";
}
Main Form:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
UserControl1 uc = new UserControl1();
uc.replaceText();
}`
The problem is your instantiating a new user control instance, you're not calling the one you have placed on the main form.
You want to be calling it like this:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.NameOfUserControl.replaceText();
}
What I want
I am creating an application which has two functionalities. Both functionalities have their own form (called FactuurForm and VerhuurForm). I have another Form called Home, which has, among others, two buttons. Depending on which button is clicked, I wish to open one of the two forms, and complete close the Home-form.
What I have
Currently, I have the following code:
static class Program
{
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Home home = new Home();
home.ShowDialog();
if (home.kiesFactuur)
{
FactuurForm factuur = new FactuurForm();
home.Close();
factuur.ShowDialog();
}
else if (home.kiesVerhuur)
{
VerhuurForm verhuur = new VerhuurForm();
home.Close();
verhuur.ShowDialog();
}
}
}
kiesFactuur and kiesVerhuur are booleans which in my Home class, initialized as false. As soon as I click on of the buttons, the corresponding boolean will flip to true, triggering the if-statements to close the home-form and open the new form.
My question
Altough my current codes works, it seems a bit much for such a simple functionality. I feel like I wouldn't need the booleans and this go all be done easier. So is there an easier/better way to do this?
I've also thought about creating multiple Main functions. Clicking a button would activate the corresponding new Main function and terminate the current Main. Is this even possible and if so, is it a good solution?
I don't exactly understand the need to completely close the home form. I'd just place 2 eventhandlers for each of the buttons and call the following code on them. The first form will be hidden and closed when you close your subform.
private void ShowSubDialog(Form form)
{
this.Hide(); //makes your main form invisible before showing the subform
form.ShowDialog();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ShowSubDialog(new FactuurForm());
Dispose();
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ShowSubDialog(new VerhuurForm());
Dispose();
}
private void Factuur_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
LoadForm(new FactuurForm());
}
private void Verhuur_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
LoadForm(new VerhuurForm());
}
private void LoadForm(Form f) {
this.Hide();
f.ShowDialog();
this.Show();
}
Add this to your Home form, remove everything after home.ShowDialog() from Main, and make Facturr_Click and Verhurr_Click handle their respective button's click events. This will allow Home to hide/show automatically.
You should replace your code like this :
if (home.kiesFactuur)
{
FactuurForm factuur = new FactuurForm();
factuur.Show();
this.Hide();
}
else if (home.kiesVerhuur)
{
VerhuurForm verhuur = new VerhuurForm();
verhuur .Show();
this.Hide();
}
In the VerhuurForm and FactuurForm you may ovveride the event of closure like this :
public VerhuurForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.FormClosed += new FormClosedEventHandler(VerhuurForm_FormClosed);
}
void FormClosedEventHandler(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
{
Application.Exit();
}
To be sure that your application is closed if you close the form because the Home still active but hidden.
I have a combo box in my C# which is place in form named frmMain which is automatically fill when I add (using button button1_Click) a product in my settings form named frmSettings. When I click the button button1_Click I want to reload the frmMain for the new added product will be visible.
I tried using
frmMain main = new frmMain();
main.Close();
main.Show();
I know this code is so funny but it didn't work. :D
This is windows form!
EDIT
Please see this image of my program for better understanding.
This is my frmMain
Here is what my settings frmSettings form look like. So, as you can see when I click the submit button I want to make the frmMain to reload so that the updated value which I added to the settings will be visible to frmMain comboBox.
Update: Since you changed your question here is the updated version to update your products
This is your products form:
private frmMain main;
public frmSettings(frmMain mainForm)
{
main = mainForm;
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
main.AddProduct(textBox1.Text);
}
It will need the mainform in the constructor to pass the data to it.
And the main form:
private frmSettings settings;
private List<string> products = new List<string>();
public frmMain()
{
InitializeComponent();
//load products from somewhere
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (settings == null)
{
settings = new frmSettings(this);
}
settings.Show();
}
private void UpdateForm()
{
comboBoxProducts.Items.Clear();
comboBoxProducts.Items.AddRange(products.ToArray());
//Other updates
}
public void AddProduct(string product)
{
products.Add(product);
UpdateForm();
}
You then can call UpdateForm() from everywhere on you form, another button for example.
This example uses just a local variable to store your products. There are also missing certain checks for adding a product, but I guess you get the idea...
this.Close();
frmMain main = new frmMain();
main.Show();
There is no such built in method to set all your values as you desire. As i mentioned in the comment that you should create a method with your required settings of all controls, here is the sample code:
private void ReloadForm()
{
comboBox.ResetText();
dataGridView.Update();
//and how many controls or settings you want, just add them here
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ReloadForm(); //and call that method on your button click
}
Try out this code.
this.Refresh();
Application.Doevents();
this.Refresh();
Refresh();
this.Hide();
frmScholars ss = new frmScholars();
ss.Show();
you want to Invalidate the form
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/598t492a.aspx
IF you are looking to refresh page from usercontrol .Here is expample where i amrefreshing form from usercontrol
Find the form in which this reload button is.
Then Call invalidiate tab control and refresh it.
Dim myForm As Form = btnAuthorise.FindForm()
For Each c As Control In myForm.Controls
If c.Name = "tabControlName" Then
DirectCast(c, System.Windows.Forms.TabControl).Invalidate()
DirectCast(c, System.Windows.Forms.TabControl).Refresh() 'force the call to the drawitem event
End If
Next
Not required reload for entire form. Just create a function for form initialise.
you can call this function any time. This will refresh the form.
private void acc_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
form_Load();
}
public void form_Load()
{
// write form initialise codes example listView1.Clear();...
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) //edit account
{
//Do something then refresh form
form_Load();
}
If you want to automatically update the value of the other form when you click the button from another one you can use timer control. Just set the timer to 0.5s in order to update the form fast
I think that, by calling the frmMain_load(sender,e) when you are clicking the button should reload the form.
You may also try to Invalidate() the form just like #Nahum said.
I've researched thoroughly but still i cant find the best solution for this..
I have a 3 buttons, BACK - HOME - FORWARD ..
This is just like the buttons on the upper left of browser .. and im trying to do this on a form..
what i have is this ..
the back button code is
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Hide();
}
// simply hiding the form .. so that the previous form will be shown..
the home button code is this..
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
for (int i = Application.OpenForms.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
if (Application.OpenForms[i].Name != "HomePage")
Application.OpenForms[i].Close();
}
}
// this will show the HomePage form and close other forms whos name is not "HomePage"
the Problem is when i press the Back Button , im hiding it .. how can a button will re open a previously closed or hided form ?
I hope you can Help me! Thanks!
private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
???????
}
You would need to store a reference to the form that you wish to open again.
There are a couple of options to do this, but if you simply wanted to allow the user to go "Forward" once, you could just store a reference to the form like so:
internal class MyHistory {
internal static Form LastForm;
}
// ........
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MyHistory.LastForm = this;
this.Hide();
}
// ........
private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MyHistory.LastForm.Show();
}
Of course, you could maintain a full stack of history items and traverse back/forwards through them if you wanted to be more comprehensive than this.
Note that, if you .Close() your form, you won't be able to reopen it as the reference will be disposed of once it is closed. This method would only work if you were to .Hide() it, which keeps the form instance valid, just hides the form from the user's view.
you could use a form list which holds all initialized forms. that way you can hide, show, add and remove forms dynamically.
List<Form> lstForms = new List<Form>();
then when you add a form:
Form newForm = new Form();
lstForms.Add(newForm);
Hiding a Form:
lstForms(x).Hide(); //x = index of Form you want to hide
Showing a Form
lstForms(x).Show(); //x = index of Form you want to hide
Removing a Form (when closing it for example)
lstForms.RemoveAt(x);
that way you can dynamically work with forms and it is much easier to keep an overview if you have many forms...
I have been tweaking my program all day and I am having a problem hiding a form which will pop up saying "Please wait"
For example:
private void button12_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
form2 wait = new form2();
pw.Show();
}
private void button13_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
form2 wait = new form2();
pw.Hide();
}
This will not work, although I am sure this isn't news to the casual C# programmer. Is there a simple way to do what I am attempting? I have tried searching online and I did find something although I wasn't 100% sure what they were trying to do. I was going to find an example to show you but I closed page - Typical. However I think they were trying to overide the show and give you control over the .show with a bool?
The code isn't working as you expect it to because the form2 inside of button12_Click is different from the form2 inside of button13_click. Notice that you are using the new keyword twice. So in button13_click, you are creating a new form2, and then hiding it, even though you haven't even shown it yet!
Instead you can create a single form2 instance to share between your two methods:
//define this code outside both of the methods below
form2 _waitForm = new form2();
private void button12_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
_waitForm.Show();
}
private void button13_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//this will hide the same form2 that was shown in button12_Click
_waitForm.Hide();
}
