Hi There,

I have a windows application which keep track of components' status on different server. Basically it displays the name of the components, their status (UP/DOWN) and on which machine they are running.

I created a separate form (with a label displaying message) to display the alert when component's status changed from its current status.


namespace CommandCenter
{
public partial class AlertForm : Form
{
public AlertForm(string componentname, string status)
{
InitializeComponent();

label1.Text = componentname + " IS " + status;
}
}
}


Here is the code where I create pop-up alert:

if (newstatus != oldstatus)
{
new AlertForm(componentname, newstauts).Show();
//MessageBox.Show(message, componentname + "'s Alert" , MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);
}


The issue is :

When status gets changes I can see Alert form pops up, but it doesn't respond and also doesn't show the label. I have to terminate the application. But when I use MessageBox it works fine, but I dont want to use it b/c it stops the application until you click on 'OK'.

Let me know what can be the issue.

Thanks

Hi NBaig,

I want to know how does your main form designed. It related to the hang up. The way you show the popup window is correct. I think there may be something in your main form that result in the no response. Please show me some code of your main form and let us try to solve it.

Sincerely,
Kira Qian
