Close a modal form on mouseclick outside .... MaWeRic13-Jul-05 2:50 MaWeRic 13-Jul-05 2:50  ... is this possible? I have a form with a calendar wich a show as modal ... I want to be able to close that form when I click outside ... is this possible? Is it possible to simulate this behaviour when using a NoModal form? //Maw Re: Close a modal form on mouseclick outside .... Fu Manchu13-Jul-05 3:10 Fu Manchu 13-Jul-05 3:10  you could try an event like Private Sub Form1_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseLeave me.close End Sub or Onmouse leave turn modal off then when lostfocus close the form. have a go with that? Does my head look big in this!!!! Re: Close a modal form on mouseclick outside .... Anonymous13-Jul-05 4:10 Anonymous 13-Jul-05 4:10  Doesn't this defeat the purpose of having a modal form in the first place!?! Just place a close button on your modal form! Re: Close a modal form on mouseclick outside .... Dave Kreskowiak13-Jul-05 4:40 Dave Kreskowiak 13-Jul-05 4:40  First off, that defats the purpose of a modal form. Second, it goes against the normal UI practices followed for Windows. This isn't an intuitive action the users are going to be used to when using Windows.

This is the case .. I have a textbox and when I hit right-button over it i want to show a calendar. The user must select a date or move outside calendar to close form with calendar. It should work as a normal DatePick-control. On that control, as you know, you can either select or click outside to close calendar. I want to change click to mouseleave-function on my control. The txtbox is a usercontrol .... I have a form in that usercontrol wich shows the calendar at a position I choose. Sooo? what do you think? //Maw Re: Close a modal form on mouseclick outside ....

I want to change click to mouseleave-function on my control. If someone who isn't that good with a mouse uses your control, they're going to get very frustrated because your closing a control that they are having problems keeping a mouse pointer in. Changing this behavior is not recommended. I am one of those people who likes to move a mouse pointer out of the way so I can see an entire control before I click on something.

RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome Philosophy: UserControl to UserControl Sled Dog13-Jul-05 2:43 Sled Dog 13-Jul-05 2:43  Anyone Interested... Is there a specific methodology or "best practice" for having 2 of your user controls on a single web page communicate information. For example, I have Control A which has printing press information on it and Control B which has press materials information on it. I suppose I could expose many of the press properties Public Shared, however, I don't feel that this is elegant as object oriented programming goes. Would any one care to suggest some ideas that work for your development practices? Thank you.

If I left ideal for sometime, the SPID is cleared, my problem is, when I am in a continuous usage it is not getting cleared or decreased, even though each of my connection is a different instances, (new sqlconnection) does any body has face this issue, Need some help on this Regards Re: Connecting with Sqlserver Fu Manchu13-Jul-05 0:12 Fu Manchu 13-Jul-05 0:12  Try this method and tell me if you get the same result, we are using sql server 7 and visual studio professional we dont have any problems with connections or queries. this will also work for multiple connections just make sure you close the previous... so lets first test the code... copy and paste into a windows form dont forget to add ......Imports System.Data.SqlClient at the very top of the code Dim Dtr As SqlDataReader = Nothing Dim Conn As New SqlConnection Private Function SqlRetrieve(ByVal SqlString As String) As Object Dim Index As Integer Conn.ConnectionString = ("Server=192.168.42.210; database=shprod; " & _ "user id=sql_cfd; password=sql;max pool size=500") 'use to catch any exceptions Try 'instantiate an sqlcommand Dim cmdSelect As SqlCommand = Nothing 'open a conncetion to server Conn.Open() 'run sql query cmdSelect = New SqlCommand(SqlString, Conn) 'start a sqldatareader Dtr = cmdSelect.ExecuteReader() 'return sql data 'reset exception flag SqlRetrieve = Dtr 'catch an sql exception Catch e As SqlException 'close server connection Conn.Close() End Try End Function Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim MyList As New ArrayList SqlRetrieve("SELECT timestamp FROM dbo.BEADMOUNT") While Dtr.Read() ComboBox1.Items.Add(Dtr(0).ToString()) End While Dtr.Close() Conn.Close() End Sub good luck!
