I am writing a simple WindowsForm program with radiobuttons, buttons, and a customary implemented InputBox.
Relevant program logic: I click one of the radiobutons from the groupbox -> enable button -> clicking button initiates custom inputbox asking for 1 value and Yes/Cancel buttons.
|
V
If Yes button clicked -> proceed with logic flow
If Cancel button clicked -> popup window appears ("Your input was cancelled, do you want to exit application?") with yes/no buttons
|
V
If Yes button clicked -> Exit the program
If No button clicked -> apply the same logic as if Reset button is clicked, which would reset the whole program without restarting it <---------This is what I am trying to achieve (all relevant methods are provided below)
What is the problem?
When I simply click Reset button, it applies all needed actions and stops, waiting for my further input. This is the exact result I am trying to achieve when I click No button in the popup window I mentioned above.
However, this is not the case. During the debug mode, after I clicked No button, it goes through the entire logic of the Reset button like I wanted, BUT right after that, it goes into the IF statement (marked in my buttonGetWorkHours_Click method). I don't want that, I want it to stop the flow after applying the logic of Reset button and waiting for my input (radiobutton/button click).
What I tried
I have searched through several threads here in SO and tried implementing several suggestions. The results of these suggestions are commented out inside inputBoxProcedure method. Also, I was looking for similar posts, which would give me the right idea. But they state that it is impossible without reloading. Based on that thread, I thought about implementing extra variable to use for checking if reset logic was running, but seems unnecessarily complicated.
ULTIMATE QUESTION:
I saw a test executable, so I know it is POSSIBLE, unlike what posts and threads were saying. Can you please point me in a right direction of how to proceed with it?
Relevant code snippet methods
For the sake of saving everyone's time I will include only methods relevant to my question.
private void buttonGetWorkHours_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (radioButtonJobStatusFull.Checked)
{
inputBoxProcedure("Enter the total hours worked by the full time employee for the week", "40");
}
else if (radioButtonJobStatusPart.Checked)
{
inputBoxProcedure("Enter the total hours worked by the part time employee for the week", "30");
}
//if, else if, else, unrelated to the lines above
if() //<----------------the logic goes here after going through the whole Reset button logic
{}
else if()
{}
else()
{}
}
private void buttonReset_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//clear all radiobutton selections
//set all strings to empty
//disable several buttons and groupboxes
//hide several labels
}
private void inputBoxProcedure(string text, string defaulttext)
{
InputBoxResult result = InputBox.Show(text, "Hours Entry", defaulttext, new InputBoxValidatingHandler(inputBox_Validating));
if (result.OK)
{
labelHoursWorked.Text = result.Text.Trim();
}
else
{
if (MessageBox.Show("Input was cancelled. Do you wish to quit the application?", "Input Cancelled", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button2) == DialogResult.Yes)
{
Close();
}
else
{
buttonReset_Click(this, new EventArgs());
//Form fr = new Form();
//fr.Show();
//this.Close();
//Application.Restart();
}
}
}
