.net - Finding Out Which Instance Of A Form Initiated Another Form Or Module
Oct 5, 2010
I'm trying to figure out the best way to reference a control on a form from within a module. Unfortunately the form is just an instance, so it's not as easy as calling form.control...
Dim ChildForm As New frmSearch
' Make it a child of this MDI form before showing it. '
ChildForm.MdiParent = Me
ChildForm.Show()
That form has an option for printing, which calls another form where certain options are chosen. The print form in turn calls a function in a module, which tries to reference back to the origional form.
childform as new frmSearch -> frmPrintForm -> sub okToPrint (in module Print)
okToPrint tries to reference a listview on frmSearch, but can't find it.
For Each itmX In frmSearch.lstResults.Items
So the solutions I can think of off the top of my head are:
1. Somehow divine which form is the caller of frmPrintForm
2. Pass ChildForm to the frmPrintForm as a variable to be passed on to module Print..
3. Use frmSearch directly instead of using an instance of it.
Number 1 would be my preference, as I don't want to have to pass forms around like that.

No form2 is modal. Closing this form2 from the form itself is clear.But how can I close the form via myform2.close from form1 via an event handler?

I have been making a webbrowser for a while now, everything works well, except i am unable to make the 'open in a new window' button work right. So far i have managed to get a new instance of my form to open with the right url, but i am unable to keep that new form open when the orginal parent form closes.
Code:
Private Sub WebBrowser1_NewWindow(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.NewWindow
e.Cancel = True
Dim Href As String

I have a connection module in which I have written the open and close database connection.... if database connection is an error it will return false else if success it will return true the function of the modules will be called from the form code....
what I need is if the connection is an error the module should also get the form name which returned the error...is it possible???
check my below code....
DBConnection.module
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Module DBConnection
[Code].....
now what I need is if the functions Open_DB_Connection() or Close_DB_Connection() returns error it should prompt the form name....

I'm trying to find the public delegates contained within a bas module in an assembly. I can identify the bas module, find nested types, methods, etc. but there seems to be no way to get nested delegates.
Note: 'GetNestedTypes' does not return delegates for bas modules.

How can I edit my a form through a module? I am using this code in the module.
Here is where I get an error: Private Sub ExtendedWebBrowser_NewWindowExtended(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As WebBrowserNewWindowExtendedEventArgs) Handles Me.NewWindowExtended Button1.Text = "New window event just triggered!"End Sub
The code editor will not recognize when I type Form1, and I obtain the following error when I manually type it:form1' is not declared.I sense there is something I can do here which is very easy to fix this, but I have not worked much with Classes before.

I am writing a program in VB2010 Express that handles serial port communication. All subs and functions that handle writing to, and reading from the serial port are in a module. These subs and functions are typically called from a form, e.g. by pressing a button. The command is then sent to a device attached to the serial port, and this device replies with a number of bytes as a result. A 'ReceivedDataHandler' is used to handle the serialport.datareceived event. [code]....

How do I do something like this.[code]...
This is inside the Module separate from Form1 class as you can see right off the bat it's not a class and there is no reference to Form1.. how do I access Form1 without passing reference to make factory modules work like this.

i've created a Sub in a Form.
I've created another Sub in a module.
I call the Sub in the module from the form, passing the form into the Sub defined in the module.
Then i add an Handler to an istance of a control (for example mousemove) and i want to give to this handler the execution of the Sub defined in the form.
Example.
Class form1
Sub Form1Sub()
ModuleSub(me)
[Code]....
The problem is that i don't know hot to call the Sub defined in the form, in the Sub handler using the istance of the form passed in the Sub paramenter in the module...

I have a main form (frmPos) and through a module (modTransaction) I open and close several other forms. This works flawlessly. However, when the function on the module is finalized, I want to clear the main (open) form. Therefore, I made a public sub (clearForm) on the main form and when I call this from the main form it works.

I have a situation where I need to display a Modal Window from a vb.net module and feed the contents to that modal form from the module.I am showing the form , feeding data to it from a class module and trapping the events in it using a timer control from the module.It works fine with Show() method but it doesn't with ShowDialog().If I used ShowDialog() then I was not able to continue with the code followed by it and not able to update any contents in the modal form.
I am using VS2003 version.Is there any workaround to this?

I have a form called form1 which has a thread that runs a sub from a module.[code]...
Well from the module, there's a part where I have to update controls on the form1. Whenever I try doing it, it updates the value, but not the design. For example I write a delegate which makes label1.text = "111", while debugging, label1.text becomes 111, but it does not show it updated on the form design, it just stays at its default value.

I'm writing a program in vb.net 2003 and have come up with a problem.
I have a sub SettingsSave() in a module.
Public Sub SettingsSave()
Dim frmSaveSettings As New frmSettings
MsgBox frmSaveSettings.txtName.Value 'for testing purposes
SaveSetting("MyApp", "configs", "Name",frmSaveSettings.txtName.Value)
SaveSetting("MyApp", "configs", "Pass",frmSaveSettings.txtPass.Value)
End Sub
I have a form frmSettings, which has a button btnSave. When the button is clicked, SettingsSave() is called.The problem is, if btnSave is clicked, then either of the two textbox values are changed, then btnSave is clicked again, the SettingsSave() sub still returns the 'old' values (from the first time the save button was clicked).How do I clear the old values from memory? I've tried adding frmSaveSettings = Nothing, and frmSaveSettings.Close at the end of the sub SettingsSave().

I try to call it with Bounce(Me) but the form doesn't move. I added a Debug.WriteLine(form.Location) at the end of the sub, and it shows that the location is not changing.
