Problem:
Form 1 contains a SWF object, which is called FlashGame (it has a movie set, which is a game)
Form 2 contains a button to set a variable on the FLashGame.
Example
Call FlashGame.SetVariable("variable will be here", 1)
That simple coding works when the button to call that SetVariable command is on the same form as the FlashGame, but I need them to be on different forms.
I am using VB2008 In the Form1, i have coded
Public Function getText(ByRef ctlName As String) As String
getText = Mfg.get_TextMatrix(Mfg.Row,Mfg.Col
[Code]...
I hope the question makes sense, anyways. I'm looking to know if in VB.NET, when we call an object's constructor, is there some kind of a reference that points back to the caller? I'm interested because of a corner case where I want the object being created to first be able to validate the existence of some data in the caller before it allows itself to be created. If this validation fails, I plan on throwing an exception. This corner case will never happen at runtime unless the object being created is used improperly by a programmer. The object being created is not inheriting the object I want it to validate, so I can't do anything with the MyBase qualifier.
It's bit of a "future-proofing" issue that I have a (bad) habit of doing. Not critical -- I can always leave stern comments behind as a last resort. Wanted to know if this was possible.
I call the function GetDataTable and when it gets to the return line, I get the error message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Dim DB As New DBConn
Dim gd As New DataAccess.GetData
Dim DT As New DataTable
[Code].....
Updated. I'll see if I can update with the DataAccess.GetData code. I didn't originally put it in there because our shop use it all the time and have no issues with it.
I'm building a DLL with several "master" objects that need access to the app LINDataContext.The DLL will serve several projects with different dataContexts, so I need the DLL can call the object that it's inside the EXE.What is the best or elegant way to do it?Edit: ClarificationCode example of what I'm trying to do:
'DLL

I am currently trying to maintain a VB6 module that it is being called from a vbscript. The module needs to have a reference to the MSScriptControl.ScriptControl COM object. However, I obtain a 80040154 error. I went ahead and registered the component using the C;WindowsSysWOW64Regsvr32.exe but then I get that the entry-point DllRegister was not found.
View 3 RepliesI have a statement that will call a Sub.
Charts(CurChartNo) = Server.CreateObject("ChartFX.WebServer")
Call InitChart()
Inside this sub, I will assign values to the properties of the Charts object that is
Public Sub InitChart()
Charts(CurChartNo).RGB2Dbk = &HC0FFFF&
Charts(CurChartNo).Chart3D = False
[code]....
But the Charts is not recognized in the Sub. This is current program under ASP, I am converting to ASP.Net.
Calling method in anonymous object?This works:
Call (New MyForm).Show
in vb I can do that
sub SetFocusControl(byref ctl as object)
ctl.Focus
end sub
in c# the compiler complaint that object doesn't have a Focus method
void SetFocusControl(ref object ctl)
{
ctl.Focus();
}
how can I do the same in c#?
How can I access the values stored in a session object with a class in asp.net?
View 3 RepliesI want to see if there is a way to do this... I'm Using vs2010 with the WP7 SDK. (VB.NET)
I am declaring this in the global scope.
public objGame as object then say i have classes: Game1 and Game2 for the sake of the example we'll just say both classes have an Update() function
I want to set objGame = Game1 (or Game2) and then be able to call objGame.Update()
I'm developing this procedure using a timer object. The thing is the procedure is not in the timer's event procedure but I want it to depend on the timer's interval when executing, it's just not calling the timer procedure. How can u declare objects and use their event procedures in code.
View 2 RepliesI'm not entirely sure what to call what C# does, so I haven't had any luck searching for the VB.Net equivalent syntax (if it exists, which I suspect it probably doesn't).
In c#, you can do this:
public void DoSomething() {
new MyHelper().DoIt(); // works just fine
}
But as far as I can tell, in VB.Net, you must assign the helper object to a local variable or you just get a syntax error:
Public Sub DoSomething()
New MyHelper().DoIt() ' won't compile
End Sub
Just one of those curiosity things I run into from day to day working on mixed language projects - often there is a VB.Net equivalent which uses less than obvious syntax. Anyone?
I'm not sure if I'm going mad, it's always a possibility. But is it possible to call a shared member of a class given its 'System.Type' object?
View 4 RepliesSo if I create an object test, and it has a property color. When I add this object to an array list I typically can access this using myarray(0).color but intellisense doesn't 'know' that I have a 'test' object inside the array. It would let me type myarray(0).whatever but would then crash if I made typo. It seems like I should be able to let it know what type of object I am trying to work with inside the arraylist. In code maybe something like this

I am messing around with some Excel Automation just to get my feet wet and want to call some specific cells in my spreadsheet just for testing. I have one form in the project including a button. My question is how do I tell the button where to navigate to the cell to be tested?
My code for my Excel class is as follows:
Public Class Waybill
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim oExcel As Object = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Dim oBook As Object = oExcel.Workbooks.Open("C:\TesterXL.xls")

Our VB.NET application has a .NET dll, with a registered TLB file; so that VBA in Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel can call into the application. The application functions correctly except when it is called into via MSO on Vista. This functions correctly on Windows XP machines but on Windows Vista and Windows 7 machines it is returning a 429 error. A reference to the TLB file can be assigned in the VBA References dialog box, on Vista.It doesn't appear to be a problem in our application as a simple Test libary does the same thing. Microsoft Applications have been 'Run As' Adminstrator, and Vista UAC is turned off, but I am thinking there is perhaps a security issue?
View 1 RepliesUse the "new" keyword to create an object instance & Check to determine if the object is null before calling the method. I'm reading text from a text file using the following [Code]
View 9 RepliesI'm having an interesting issue that I can't reproduce on a different project, but can consistently on this one. I have no clue what might be causing it, but am hoping that someone may have seen it before.
I have a main form, from which I run a series of checks. On this form, I have a listview control. Because of some issues with the refreshing of this listview control, I had to create my own messagebox. It's just a form that displays some text ( it also happens to look nicer than MsgBox; in my opinion, anyways ). It's been working great for months, until recently.
My problem is that on my main form's load event, I run this check, which returns an error within a try/catch block. I then call my custom messagebox with a message. It in turns calls it's ShowDialog() function.
In any other situation ( after the main form has been loaded ), I have no problems. The messagebox goes on the screen and behaves appropriately ( ie: waits for my input and acts as a modal dialog ( stops execution of my main form's thread ) ). However, on this onload event, my messagebox comes up and goes away almost immediately afterwards.
I've traced it all the way to the showdialog() call. For no explicable reason, it appears to skip right over this call, without me doing anything on the form.
Here's what the inner trace looks like ( when I put a breakpoint on the onclosing event for this messagebox form ):
CODE:
Requested were made by Businese Analyst to set the few Main FORMs VISIBLE PROPERTY TO FALSE when the POPUP FORM is loaded.
[Code].....
When the MAIN FORM loads the POPUP FORM, on the FRMPOPUPCUSTOMER-FORMLOAD even, it has to set the MAIN FORM Visible to False.
When FRMPOPUPCUSTOMER FORM IS UNLOAD it has to set the MAIN FORM Visible = TRUE.
How to the coding is to ensure that different MAIN FORM when loaded FRMPOPUPCUSTOMER it will turn the MAIN FORM Visible to FALSE.
how to call a function from a different form. Like the button click event. i have this scenario. I have a main form and a child form in the main form there is a navigation panel on the left side controlling the child form. What i want is if clicking the add record in my navigation panel will call a function in the child form to execute.
View 1 RepliesI'm having this problem with my code and cannot seem to get past it although it was working fine before. The error is "An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." The code is:
CODE:
I am trying to get information to be pulled out of a database and show in text boxes on another form (frmviewsdets). The error occurs when it gets to the line frmviewsdets.txtsnumber.Text = rdr("StudentNumber") and even when a breakpoint is applied there it just moves on to the next and so on.
I have tried to show frmviewsdets before I pull the data out of the database beut I get the same message.
I have a solution with several Projects in it. There is a Windows App project (called ImportClient), and a Class Library (Import.Library). The Import.Library has functions to perform data imports (I have other applications in the solution that also need to call it). But the interactive application, I want to be able to pass in some form controls, and have it update the GUI. No problem. But, I also want to execute a DoEvents() so that the loop execution doesn't hang other interaction to the app.
So, ImportClient has a reference to Import.Library. But I can't add a reference to ImportClient to the Import.Library, because the compiler complains about circular reference, etc. I don't know how else to define the My.Application object of ImportClient as a parameter to the data function in ImportLibrary.
(I realize this is a dumb question - problem is, for this project I have a tight timeline, and haven't learned how to do the BackgroundWorker process. If you think I could pick it up quickly, I'm open to some hints about how to update the progress bar on the GUI, and how to pause / cancel the background task.)
I have two forms and one needs to call a method from another form. I am from a java background so i do not understand why the object instaniated (if that is a correct assessment) on one form cannot Call a sub from the second form.
View 1 Repliesi used the code below to find if any forms called logform are open, there will only ever be one of these open at a time...

For Each frm In My.Application.OpenForms
If frm.Name = "logform" Then
MsgBox("found form")

but thing is when i find the form i want to call a sub in that form's code called action if i use frm.actions() it says that actions() is not a member of [URL]so how do i do this?
I am just wondering the difference between using "As New" and not using it. It looks like the outcome is same to me. Is there any difference between #1 and #2 when I call "frmCR" from other winform?
A form "frmCR" is alreadu created thru design mode.
#1
Dim frmCR As New frmCR
frmCR.Show()
#2
frmCR.Show()

I've got 3 forms that have exactly the same functions, so I decided to create an interface.
public Interface IExample
public sub Add()
Public sub Edit()
[code]....
At this point, objfrmExample is now instantiated, even though I've not done a "objfrmExpample = new [what-goes-here?] " and I'm curious as to why.I could possibly guess that because you cannot instantiate an interface variable, then vb.net automatically creates an instance. But thats just a guess. The question is , what is meant by declaring a variable of type Interface, and how does it work?
I am getting this error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" and I dont know where/how to fix it and it does not tell me where the error in the code occurs, just a pop-up windows saying the error. Here is the code on the "start up" Windows form..

Is it advisable to call a function from another form?Does it have any side effects on the system while running, like more process will consume?I have a function that will set the background in a form, it will make the image stretch, backcolor transparent and will set the picture. If I will use that function in other 15 FORMS I can minimize my code.
