    Data Transfer between Forms

  5. Sharing data among Windows Forms
  6. In a Windows application, passing values from a secondary form to the main form or share data among several applications (.NET application).

  7. User Input in Windows Forms
  8. Windows Forms includes a user input model based on events that are raised while processing related Windows messages. The topics in this section provide information on mouse and keyboard user input, including code examples that demonstrate how to perform specific tasks.

  9. Application Class
  10. Provides static methods and properties to manage an application, such as methods to start and stop an application, to process Windows messages, and properties to get information about an application. This class cannot be inherited.

    Remarks The Application class has methods to start and stop applications and threads, and to process Windows messages, as follows:

    1. Run starts an application message loop on the current thread and, optionally, makes a form visible.
    2. Exit or ExitThread stops a message loop.
    3. DoEvents processes messages while your program is in a loop.
    4. AddMessageFilter adds a message filter to the application message pump to monitor Windows messages.
    5. IMessageFilter lets you stop an event from being raised or perform special operations before invoking an event handler.
    This class has CurrentCulture and CurrentInputLanguage properties to get or set culture information for the current thread.

  11. Passing Data between Windows Forms
  12. This article provides a simple example of using delegates and events to transfer data between Windows forms. The example provided contains three separate forms; the main form interacts with the other two forms by responding to events generated by instances of the other two forms.

    In order to communicate between the forms, each of forms capable of generating an event contains declarations for a delegate and an event. A delegate may be thought of as a type safe function pointer and delegates are associated with methods that bear the same signature. An event is a device used to notify listening objects that something has happened; events are associated with a delegate when instantiated.

  13. Application.DoEvents Method
  14. Processes all Windows messages currently in the message queue.

    Remarks When you run a Windows Form, it creates the new form, which then waits for events to handle. Each time the form handles an event, it processes all the code associated with that event. All other events wait in the queue. While your code handles the event, your application does not respond. For example, the window does not repaint if another window is dragged on top.

    If you call DoEvents in your code, your application can handle the other events. For example, if you have a form that adds data to a ListBox and add DoEvents to your code, your form repaints when another window is dragged over it. If you remove DoEvents from your code, your form will not repaint until the click event handler of the button is finished executing. For more information on messaging, see User Input in Windows Forms.
