Checking required fields in a second Windows Form

_Madmatt

I'm not online all day long ;)

Thanx _Madmatt, your English is good, no problem. I understand what you are saying but am confused on the HOW. I am also new to C# and am getting used to the gotchas. I am sure the problem is with how the Dialogresult is handled, just not clear on how I need to handle it. Thanx again for your suggestions.

_Madmatt

You're welcome! Maybe you can show your Form2 just in a form and not in a Dialog. Then you just check if your textboxes are empty like this: if (txt1.Text == null) { // TextBox1 is empty } else if(txt1.Text != null) { // TextBox is not empty do something with the text ;) }

I would suggest you maybe email me what you have. That way I can take a look at the whole problem and maybe be better able to help you at this point.

I'm so sorry, my English isn't that good.

I don't buy this excuse You still have not answered the question, why is doing it in code better? But no matter, not worth continuing based on below.

Then you absolutely should not have answered in the first place :mad::mad:

You don't give beginners a chance? Ow that's pretty nice...

Beginners, yes. However, by your own admission you do not even know the language. You can't comment on things you don't know!!:mad:

I know the language. I've read a book. But I'm still at secundary school, so I've not studied c# yet at high school. I surely know the language, otherwise it would be stupid to wate my time on it...

JTRizos: "No, I don't" Err... yes you do!

Form2 qForm = new Form2();
qForm.ShowDialog();

if (qForm.ShowDialog ()== DialogResult.OK)

JTRizos

Yes, I know. Learned that yesterday. Still learning C# and it's little proclivities. Thanx for responding.

Surely you could have just answered his question instead of writing "I'm not online all day long"? I wouldn't argue further, your logic isn't correct, and you might want to reread those books of yours.

I don't know if you can read, but I've already answered... Read the whole topic before you say stupid things like that. EDIT: What I said was just a suggestion about how he COULD do it. I've ABSOLUTELY NOT said "this is the best solution". It's the solution how I should do it with my skills and my understoodings about his issues. But if there are better solutions, no problem for me! I have still to learn, but it's not needed to slap me down. Everybody here has ever started with something where there were better solutions for? Or was you a pro from the first day on? Last but not least a quote from the rules: "Let's work to help developers, not make them feel stupid.."

Funny, I don't see that in the rules[^]. Plus, I'm not the one who looks stupid here. And you did say it was the easiest method, and you where asked how and ignored it. If anything, you proved your own stupidity, not mine.

Are you blind??? Apologies for the shouting but this is important. When answering a question please: 1.Read the question carefully 2.Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar 3.If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or mark it down. Insults are not welcome 4.If the question is inappropriate then click the 'vote to remove message' button Insults, slap-downs and sarcasm aren't welcome. Let's work to help developers, not make them feel stupid..

Again, you never asked the question, so that really doesn't apply to you. If someone asks a question, and another gives an answer that is wrong, or clearly not what is desired, then a 'slap-down' is necessary. You didn't ask for the help, so there is no help for you given. I'm not making you feel stupid either, I think you are accomplishing that on your own.

Again, I've replied, but my answer was wrong. Okay, I really accept it... I've answered wrong. I've answered wrong. I've answered wrong. I've answered wrong. I've answered wrong. I'm soooooooo sorry. Man, everyone has to learn... Okay, I said it was the easiest method to do it, but that was following my skills. I've already said I accept another solution. But no, again someone has to start a discussion...

JTRizos

GOT IT!!!!! Thank you all for your input. The trick is to set the DialogResult to None in properties. :-D :-D :-D Also, I sure hope you all work out this smal argument. :sigh: :sigh:

So which is it? Do you know the language or not? Are you confused or just a liar? But hey, thanks for giving me a new sig :laugh:

Very simple... Both, I know c# but I'm not yet studying it at school. Or is that too difficult for you to umderstand?
