I'm trying to imitate a feature of Windows. For example, when you're in a folder's properties, and then open the 'Advanced' popup from the properties page; if you try to click out of it the menubar flashes and a windows error sound is made. It is not until you close the popup by pressing okay or cancel or X that you can continue.
I would like to imitate this feature in my VB.NET project, thinking there would be an easy enough way to do this, but I cannot find one.
Show the second form as Dialog from the first form. While the second form is still open, user can't interact with the first form.

Where to look for code that calls a window like this? Is it JavaScript on browser's side or something else? This modal window is shown to fix an address of work order (when user changes it) and make it the same as the address of account. I do not want it and need to switch the window off.
It is Javascript which is firing on change of your Field (work order).
It is quite easy to turn it off.
Go to Setting--> Customizations click on it
Then click on Customize the system
Then Select your Main form.
Then click on your particualr filed and popup will open something like below
When you double click you will see below option, just uncheck enable and the function which is firing on change of your work order will be disabled.
I have created a default [Swift] Cocoa application. I attempted to Ctrl drag from the default Open button in the menu to my View Controller in the assistant editor, but nothing happens.
Is my approach wrong? I assume there is some kind of default file chooser dialog, but I do not know how to make it appear or enable the Open menu item. From the documentation I feel I could make one appear programmatically, but I want to enable the menu button.
My first attempt at an OS X program hit a wall very fast :-/
First, control-Click on Open, and see if it is already attached to a function. If so, click the x to detach it, then try again.
Second, be very sure that the Assistant Editor is presenting the correct file to do the control-Drag. I have found that I need to manually choose the correct file much of the time.
In Excel 2010 for Windows, I associated a Click event to an ActiveX Control. In Excel 2011 for Mac, I understand I must use Form Controls rather than ActiveX Controls. How do I associate a Click with a Form Control command button? I don't seem to be able to get at the Properties of a Form Control as I previously did with an ActiveX Control.
This assumes that Mac Form Controls act like Windows ones. When you first create the button, you'll see the Assign Macro dialog. If you've already created the macro, you can select it then:
If you want to assign the macro later, you need to get the Assign Macro dialog. In Windows, you'd right-click like this:
I'm realizing this is not my most helpful answer ever, but hopefully it's good enough.
If you use the Visual FoxPro 9 Application Framework to create a desktop standalone application and add a database and form, the exported exe shows a Quick Start on load which shows the form to select.
If one wants to show up his own MAIN MENU form on the exe load, what's the way to do it? Using Set Main on the Menu Form does not work.
Here is a visual representation of the idea.
In its simplest steps then, aside from the "Wizards" you can use to build forms and bind to data environments, tables, grids, etc maybe this will help.
Create an empty project.
CREATE PROJECT MyApp
Go to the documents tab and add a new form. Put a few buttons as you've described on it. One of the buttons, allow to close the form, such as "Exit". Double click this exit button and put in the code
CLEAR EVENTS
THISFORM.RELEASE()
Since there are no "data entry" elements on this form, we need something to make it keep focus. Buttons alone don't just "do" that. Go to the properties sheet of the form and go down to "Window Type" and set it to "Modal" - meaning, keep this form up until its intentionally closed. (This also keeps as a baseline for you calling any OTHER forms from this one for your application.) Save the form, such as "MyMainForm".
Click on the "Code" tab of the project and do a new "Program". In its simplest context, put in
DO FORM MyMainForm
READ EVENTS
Save the program, such as MyStartupProgram. Once saved in the project, right-click on this program and select "Set Main" for this to be considered the single entry point to your entire application. Save, build the project and run it. You should be good to go.
I frequently find myself accidentally clicking enter when I'm laying out a form in Visual Studio. Whatever the focus is on when I accidentally hit enter, an event method is created in the code.
And you can't just delete the method because its defined in the designer file so you have to go in there and remove code from the designer. I don't find the Enter = create event functionality to be useful in the designer. Is there a way to turn that off?
I seriously doubt it, no config for this in Tools + Options. But be sure to use the normal workaround: type Ctrl+Z, it works. And Y to dismiss the "are you really sure" message box.
If you just press Ctrl+Z,Y, any other unsaved changes you've made on the designer window (such as adding or moving controls) will be lost.
If you type Ctrl+Tab (to return to the designer window), and then type Ctrl+Z, only the insert of the empty event handler will be undone - other changes will be preserved.
