Exit Nightmare

[wenwilder]

I have reached my frustration limit. I know the answer has to be simple...it always is..but.. I just can not figure this one out.

I have a program I'm working on. Everything in the program works perfectly except.... the Username/Password text box won't go away!! After you sign in the Username/Password text box should exit on Okay and that should be the end of it. No! Not this one..... Instead, you sign in, it exits, it lurks, it comes back... you hit 'x" on the little box and it exits, it lurks, it comes back...

I've tried coding it two different ways - both ways I get the same result. Here is what I have...


If Me.UsernameTextBox.Text = "Username" And Me.PasswordTextBox.Text = "Password" Then
MsgBox("Welcome to After Hours Dispatch")
Me.Dispose()
AHDMain.Show()
Else
MsgBox("Invalid Username/Password", 1)
End If

Help??

Don't recognise the code but do you test for equality with = or == ?

What scripting language are you using?

And, can we see all of the relevant code, rather than just this snippet?

Here is the VB from beginning to end....


Public Class xLogin
Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK.Click

If Me.UsernameTextBox.Text = "Username" And Me.PasswordTextBox.Text = "Password" Then
MsgBox("Welcome to After Hours Dispatch")
Me.Dispose()
AHDMain.Show()
Else
MsgBox("Invalid Username/Password", 1)
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Cancel_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Cancel.Click
Me.Close()
End Sub

End Class


And that's it...

If Me.UsernameTextBox.Text = "Username" And Me.PasswordTextBox.Text = "Password"

Try encapsulating both tests in parentheses.

If (Me.UsernameTextBox.Text = "Username") And (Me.PasswordTextBox.Text = "Password") ...

Might also try changing And to AndAlso if you're using VB.NET.

If this is part of another page, and the 'state' of the login is not kept, every page refresh or reload will cause the window to appear again. I'd try ussing a 'session.contents(LoginState)' as another parameter to test against. Setting this parameter as things happen, and chacking against it as things happen again. Another possible solution (not the best) is put the login screen elements in a DIV and set the style to 'display:hidden' on a button action.

Afterthought upon awakening this morning re. "Username" and "Password" - Are you temporarily testing for these specific character strings; or, are these to be variable names?

If the latter, you'll need to get rid of the parentheses.

Testing specific at this point. They'll be variable eventually. I have to get the stupid window perminantly to close after exit. I'll try the parantheses, didn't think of that....
