alternate for curdir or startuppath

30-Jul-07 5:48

hi ,
i m use following code at click event of a button for display or hide a keyboard

<br />
  If keyboardVisible = False Then<br />
            mdChecking.SipShowIM(1)<br />
            keyboardVisible = True<br />
        Else<br />
            mdChecking.SipShowIM(0)<br />
            keyboardVisible = False<br />
        End If

where mdChecking is module and contain following pinvoke function
Public Declare Function SipShowIM Lib "coredll.dll" (ByVal dwFlag As Integer) As Boolean

following function perform well. but when keyboard is displayed then a little icon is also associated with this SIP(keyboard)which also facilitate user to hide keyboard. so if user hide keyboard from icon then at this time my boolean variable is set to true(see above code) and this time if user once again execute the above code then keyboard is not visible.
so how can i remove this icon or how can i determine whether SIP(keyboard) is displayed.

Windows CE has no concept of the current directory. All paths must be specified completely, i.e. from the root of the file system.

We use the following code to get the path to the application EXE:

Dim path As String = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(
   System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase)

Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

You need to call frmWizardForm1.Dispose() when the form is being closed, so it disposes all resources and the instance of that form. Then reload it, and you will be fine Smile | :)

Ok, in your code I see this line:

frmWizardForm1.Show()

You don't want to do that, change that to

frmWizardForm1.ShowDialog()

Also, be sure to have the Dispose method being called in the close of that form, and that should fix it. I didn't notice that the first time Smile | :)

Hope that helps

i have Four form(frmWizardForm1, frmWizardForm2, frmWizardForm3, frmWizardForm4). which give appreance as a wizard & also include Back,Next and Cancel button.so if we open these form as ShowDialog,then it action require form must be close before we go back & forth .also in that condition back & next button not works.
hope you understand my problem.

No problem, I'm happy to help. I don't understand the current problem though. I believe you are saying that If you use ShowDialog() then you have to close the first form before you can use your back & next buttons. Is that correct? Explain to me what this form collection does, and if you click back or next, is it supposed to open a new form(frmWizard2,3,4)?

I think, when you use form.close(), it is usually disposed, and you have to create a new form instance before you can use form.show() again. I usually use form.hide()/form.show() if I want to continue to use the same form again.

hi,
thanks for ur reply
First thing ,if i hide the form then my application is not listed in task manager window. second i does not create any instance of form. i am working only with form in coding(in place of creating object).
