dispose the login form

[Guest]

The program i have has login form.

After a user has loged in, formX is loaded and i want to dispose all the
forms that where used before (login form).

so the result should be the same as when you use formX as your startup object.

I dont want:
- to hide or minimaze the login form.
- use showdialog.

Is this possible?

JT,

Normally all your not with showdialog showed forms are disposed
automaticly, at a time that it is for your system the best time.

Therefore it is managed code.

I am curious why you ask this?

Hello Cor,

the problem is the following, when i dispose my login form, the application
stops.
for example, if a user loges in and i use formX.show and than close the
login form. FormX will also be closed.

When i use FormX.ShowDialog, the login form will exist untill FormX is closed.

JT,

I would use the showdialog. Be aware that there are some bugs in the version
1.x when it is about the closing buttons of that.

If you need some samples, reply.

This newsgroup is full of that in the most advanced formats and the Google
Newsgroup search is the best for that.

This only the one I wrote about showdialog.

I would suggest:

Have a Sub Main that is your startup object. This sub shows your login
form (modally), then if login fails, just Exit Sub and the app will
end; but if login is successful you can load up your formX then do

Application.Run(formXvariable)

which transfers the message loop to that instance of formX (which means
the application's lifetime from then on depends on formX rather than
Sub Main).

Cor,

Thank you for your support, but as a mentioned, i dont want to use the
showdialog.
Larry pointed me out the Application.Run(formXvariable) option and that did
the trick.

Thanks.

Larry, that was what i was looking for:

Application.Run(formXvariable)

Thanks
