Forms :: Turn Off / Find All - Step Around Default Instances
Aug 20, 2010I'm using Visual Studio 2008 writing a Windows Forms project and I'd like to know a way to step around 'default instances' of forms. I don't like default instances, they constantly get in my way, and working in a team it's causing some really annoying confusion about the object identity of which form is actual in focus at this moment. This means I need to go threw the entire project (big) and remove ALL references to any 'default instance' of a form. But this is difficult to do as there's no errors or anything, it basically requires me to search for every text of "MyFormType." and then checking if it's accessing a default instance and fix it like that.
It'd be nice if I could just turn it off or something so I could
1) easily find all erroneous lines of code
2) avoid the accidental use of it in the future by anyone on the team
Find All Instances Of A Letter If It Appeared Multiple Times In A Word?
Apr 19, 2011How would I find all instances of a letter if it appeared multiple times in a word? For example if I had the word 'mississippi', how would I find every 's' or every 'i' or every 'p'?
I know how to use the string.IndexOfMethod() so I was thinking I could find the first letter, mark that position, and search again from there. Then I would keep looping until the end of the letter. But I'm not sure how to signal the end of the loop.
DAO Program - New Instances
Oct 4, 2009I wish to develop a program using DAO to access an .mdb database in a data navigational way and avoiding SQL. I have defined workspace, database and recordsets with a "DAO." prefix and referenced the Microsoft DAO Compatibility Library. When debugging, my statement setting the reference for the defined database name to the physical database, causes the following error - "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." It seems that the "New" keyword should be used to create an object instance but a statement such as "Public Db as New DAO.Database" is not allowed because DAO.Database is an interface not a class.
How do I create an instance of the object in this situation?

Mar 1, 2012I am using a message queue successfully as I am testing while I am writing a new program. (This is my first time using a message queue.) I have to have multiple instances of my program running, so I was wondering if this would be a problem with the queue? I have tested it and it looks fine, but I didn't know if it is by coincidence, or if the queues were separate.

May 1, 2011The below Code is written inside the Timer Tick event. It works fine as long as the Time and Date are not same. When the Time and Date are same it only displays 1 message. How can I show multiple message for the same date and Time ? I think this can be done If I create different instances for a form. But I don't know how many same time and Date will be there in the database. So I can't do that.
Dim frm As New frmMessage
Dim nowDate As String = String.Format("{0:M/d/yyyy}", DateTime.Now)
Dim nowTime As String = String.Format("{0:h:mm tt}", DateTime.Now)

Handling Instances Of A Form?
Aug 5, 2010(simplified) I have a button in form1 that creates an instance of a form2, fills some data unique to that instance, and shows it. This data should be unique. Any attempt to create an identical form2 should fail, and instead bring to front the matching form 2, but if the form 2 is filled with different data (representing a different person) than it should be created.

Multiple Instances Of The Same Form?
Mar 3, 2010I have two forms in my application. Form 1 is a listview that is populated with unique Customer IDs. When the user double click the listview on the particular Customer ID then it loads Form2. Form2 has many listviews within it such as a listview for the Customer telephone, another listview for their addresses etc and all the data presented in Form2 listviews are based on the Customer ID that the user clicked in Form1.
So here is my question...I want the user to be able to open Form2 with that particular details of the customer but also to go back to Form1 and double click another Customer ID and opens Form2 again (such as replicating Form2) with the other Customer details.So the moral of the story is i want the user to be able to have many instances of Form2 open each time they wish to view a different Customer ID without having to close Form2 down every time.
Count The Instances Of The Form.show()?
Jun 21, 2010I have so many form to manage. I want to count the instances of a particular form. For example, if I show my form1 two times then there must be a counter for my form1 and if I also shown my form2 another counter for form2.I want to do this to minimize the instances of forms to be shown so that my resources will not burden to much.I want my code to be generic so that I can easily call it for my other forms.

View 14 RepliesMake A Collection Of Form Instances?
Nov 11, 2010I am wanting to make a collection of form instances.I was wondering if the arrayList is a list of pointers (or references) to items added or if a new instance of an object is placed when using the add method.
i.e. if I had: Public Shared forms as Arraylist = new Arraylist Then if I called forms.add me from an instance of a form would it create a pointer or reference to the instance or generate a whole new one?
Open Multiple Instances Of Same Form?
Jul 6, 2009I am writing an application whose main purpose will be to collect user-entered data on a prescribed time interval (to be used by a dr. during anesthesia to collect patient vitals during surgery). I am attempting to accomplish this by having a form opened from the main window on every tick of a timer. The problem, is that if the user is a bit slow in entering the data on the first window, and the timer ticks again before they submit the first form, when the form is reopened (currently by simply using a show() command), the process of opening the form again simply overwrites the original form rather than creating a second instance.What is the best way to open a second (and possibly 3rd, 4th... nth) instance of the same form?

View 4 RepliesSingle Form With Multiple Instances
Aug 12, 2010I have a form which displays temperature and humidity data for a device in the field. I have multiple devices. Rather than creating a separate form for each device, obviously it is much better to have a single form that I instantiate, pass data to, and display. The devices are listed in a treeview, and when the user double-clicks the node, I create an instance of the form, pass the device's data to the instance of the form, and display the form. All of this works perfectly. However, I have a challenge: If the form for a particular device is already open, I don't want another one opened when the user double-clicks the node.
However, whenever I place logic in the program to check for the existence of the form and only allow another instance to be created if one doesn't already exist, it prevents me from creating a form instance for any other device that I may wish to view, simultaneously. So, I have a dilemma -- allow the user to display the data for multiple devices, including allowing multiple forms to be open for a single device, OR only allowing one device to be displayed at any given time.

Opening Multiple Instances Of Program When Clicking System.Diagnostics.Process
Mar 28, 2012I have an windows application (created using visual studio 2005) and it also is using an autocad .api. The user runs Autocad and the user enters various commands that will open forms. One of these forms, contains Windows.Forms.LinkLabels with paths to the autocad drawing files they've attatched (.dwg). When they click on the link, I need the file to open in the existing Autocad they already have open; however, the problem is that it's opening a new instance of Autocad and placing the file into it. How can I make it so it opens in the existing Autocad program already open? [Code]

Keeping Multiple Form Instances Separate?
Sep 16, 2009When I create more than one instance of the same form and I call a method on any of these instances, the code only fires on the most recently created instance. Even when I click a button on that form, it executes on the other form. How can I call these and keep them as distinct objects?
For example: if I build Form1 with a public method called ChangeMyColor and a button to call that method. Then in the main app I set MyForm1 = New Form1
and MyForm2 = New Form1, then call MyForm1.ChangeMyColor, the color changes on the second instance. Even if I click that button on the first instance, the color still changes on the second.
Multiple Instances Of A Single Control On A Form
Apr 6, 2012I've got two sets of lists with nearly 800 items that I need in 32 different drop down comboboxes (before you ask, that is required and it can't be simplified). Understandably, populating each of them slows down the creation of the form. This happens to be a child form that these drop downs are on and there could be more than one child form displayed. I've assembled the lists in List(Of String) objects and set each of the datasources of the comboboxes appropriately, but it still takes several seconds for them to populate and display for the first time. This is also problematic if the datasource gets updated (items removed, added, renamed) because I have to wipe out all the items and create the list again in all active instances.

VS 2008 - Creating Instances Of Controls On Form?
Sep 14, 2010Is it possible to create instances of controls on a form ? Of course I mean visually , not just by code. After all, these languages define themselves as "Visual" so they should provide that possibility. It is important for the instances to be visible during design time because otherwise we could only guess where those controls might "land". Nevertheless , I have the feeling this is not possible in VB .NET but still I thought I should ask first ...

VS 2008 Opening Up New Form Instances With Different Datasets?
Mar 24, 2009I�m fetching data from an access db, filtered by date and an ID. The data is then charted on a form (form1).
I want to be able to "duplicate" the form so that the data that is shown on form1 is shown on a different form. That forms data is not supposed to change when I change the data on the first form.
So far I�ve put som code in a contextmenustrip that opens another form1, but the chart is not showing on that form at all.
I'm thinking that I'm going about this the wrong way so I thought I'd ask you guys what you think I should do?
A little info: When Form1 opens up, it loops through selected dates in a listbox, querying each date. This takes a little time, so I decided to put the data in a dataset on form_load, and then do the drawing from the dataset on form_paint, thus not having to query the database each time the form needs repainting. why the second (or third, fourth etc) form1 doesn�t display the chart?
VS 2008 Resize Multiple Instances Of Same Form?
Jan 15, 2009Within the subroutine, I am counting the number of open Forms and dividing the bounds of the screen by the number of open forms everytime a button is clicked.his gives me a way to Size each video box perfectly according to the number of forms open.This is where I have found a problem. The size of the new window only sizes the newly opened on and will not resize the ones that are already open. I will give an example of my subroutine.Note: Because of the nature of my program, I am not allowed to take any code out of the work zone and so I will be summarizing what I am doing rather than showing the actual code.
Private videoShow (byval videoName, byval videoIp)
dim videoForm as new form
videoForm.size = New Drawing.Size

VS 2008 Awckward Behavior From Multiple Form Instances Loaded Into A Dictionary?
Jul 27, 2009Ok I have a project which has a MDI parent. Inside the parent I have multiple isntances of a form load(frmLine1t5). When my program loads it will load a different form(frmSelect) and if I manually load a different form(frmRetests) I can put frmSelect on top of frmRetests and bring one another to the front if it's clicked on(without using the bringtofront method)However as soon as I load a single instance of frmLine1t5 I immediately can no longer bring ANY form loaded into the MDI parent(before or after frmLine1t5 has loaded) to the front. I can only bring them to print IF I use .bringtofront method
