Stop Minimizing the form

[qazplm114477]

Hi, I'm having a tiny problem. I have just started playing around with visual basic a week ago so im fairly new at this. I created a method that saves changes when you click a button, once the button is clicked a message box pops up with a yes/no option. whenever i click any of those buttons the entire window minimizes. Theres no problem with the code it self yet, i just want my window to stop minimizing

here is the code:

 Dim SaveChangesResponse As DialogResult
        SaveChangesResponse = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to save changes?  " & _
                    "Changes done here are permanant.", _
                    "Save Changes?", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question, _
                   MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button2, _
                   MessageBoxOptions.DefaultDesktopOnly, False)

        If SaveChangesResponse = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes Then
'this is when the window starts minimizing

the source of this code is in form2 which i pull up with form1(which both minimizes).

any help would be greatly appreciated.tha nks ^_^

I think the problem has something to do with the status label in form one, because every time a click event is triggered in form2, i would display what happened in the status lable in form 1 (StatusLable in a statusStrip ofcourse)

here is the entire code

MainForm.StatusLabel.Text = "Attempting to save changes for vendors"
        Dim SaveChangesResponse As DialogResult
        SaveChangesResponse = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to save changes?  " & _
                                              "Changes done here are permanant.", _
                                              "Save Changes?", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question, _
                                            MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button2, _
                                            MessageBoxOptions.DefaultDesktopOnly, False)

        If SaveChangesResponse = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes Then
            'the code for saving all changes done in the vendors
            Dim RowsAffected As Integer = 0
            Try
                VendorBindingSource.EndEdit()
                RowsAffected = TbL_VENDORTableAdapter1.Update(VendorViewDataSet1.TBL_VENDOR)
                If RowsAffected > 0 Then
                    MainForm.StatusLabel.Text = "You have updated  '" & RowsAffected.ToString() & "' Row(s)"

                    MessageBox.Show("No problems encountered", "Sucessfull")
                Else
                    MainForm.StatusLabel.Text = "A problem was encountered during updating. Could not save into the database"

                End If
            Catch ex As Exception
                MessageBox.Show("Problem Updating vendor: " & ex.Message)
            End Try
        Else
            'TODO: make sure window dosen't minimize after clicking no
            MainForm.StatusLabel.Text = "Edit folder operation cancelled."
        End If

    End Sub

I think this is because you are using ' MessageBoxOptio ns.DefaultDeskt opOnly ' ,

from the help - ' DefaultDesktopO nly will cause the application that raised the MessageBox to lose focus. '

hello jg007, thank you so much, this solved my problem completely. I was wondering what that option does ^_^
