Exercise 10-2

After completing Ex 10-2 I decided to play with it. I added an interim form with 4 group boxes each with 3 radio buttons to give me a choice for the entries of the AcceptAgreementForm's text, icon (I pulled the image from my.resources), Accept button and Decline button. I set the default radio button for each group box and set the form's "accept button" to the OK button on the form (distinctive name and only button on the form). I displayed the form to check it but the OK button doesn't do anything!! Do the group boxes affect the form seeing the OK button? I used the same display code that I've used to display the other forms. I guess I'm getting ahead of the book again.

Code:

        '
        ' create the choice and dialog boxes
        '
        Dim chooseDialogEntriesDialog As New ChooseDialogEntriesForm
        Dim customMessageDialog As New CustomMessageForm
        '
        ' Initialize the choices and display the 'Choose' dialog
        '
        chooseDialogEntriesDialog.rdbLabelAcceptAgreement.Checked = True
        chooseDialogEntriesDialog.rdbLabelWell.Checked = False
        chooseDialogEntriesDialog.rdbLabelTakeYourPick.Checked = False
        chooseDialogEntriesDialog.rdbIconQuestion.Checked = False
        chooseDialogEntriesDialog.rdbIconQuestion2.Checked = False
        chooseDialogEntriesDialog.rdbIconQuestion3.Checked = True
        chooseDialogEntriesDialog.rdbOkAccept.Checked = True
        chooseDialogEntriesDialog.rdbOkOk.Checked = False
        chooseDialogEntriesDialog.rebOkIGuessSo.Checked = False
        chooseDialogEntriesDialog.rdbCancelCancel.Checked = False
        chooseDialogEntriesDialog.rdbCancelDecline.Checked = True
        chooseDialogEntriesDialog.rdbCancelNo.Checked = False

        If (chooseDialogEntriesDialog.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) Then
            MessageBox.Show("Thanks for making your choices")
        End If

Did you set the OK button's DialogResult property to OK? That's the most likely problem.

If you don't do that, then you need to add an event handler to it to make it close the form in code.

That was it! Thank you very much (said with a red face). Now I can go back to playing. It's amazing how much of an effect those little details have.
