I have been converting my VB6 programmes to VB 2008, and I am beginning to regret it.According to the books that I am reading on the subject, I can call a second form from the first one. That is, when the first form code has completed, and the final line reads:
frmForm2.Show()
the second form should open and wait for input.This does not happen, the form flashes and then disappears without allowing any input, or button click.I must admit that I preferred being able to start from a module, with a Main() sub, which then read the forms, a la VB6. everything seemed to work fine then.
When I hit the submit button I want the entered data to appear in textboxes on groupForm, but this isn't happening. I have to restart the form or hit the Refresh button for the data to appear.[code]...
I added groupForm.populate() at the end of the latter function for testing purposes, but I know that shouldn't be necessary ("populate" just loops over all items in the ProfitObjects array and calls NewProfitObjectsItem for each one).
Anyway; when I submit the data from the second form, the groupForm doesn't automatically show the new data. I either have to hit the refresh button or restart the form (it calls populate() on form load).
I simply want the new item to appear immediately after Submitting it. And it should, because that's what groupForm.NewProfitObjectsItem() does. And to top it off I added groupForm.populate(). I'm assuming it's not working because it's called from an external form, or because the other form is open/has the focus.
I have two forms. Form 1 you click a button, and it opens Form 2. Form 1 is still open.
When you click a button on Form 2, I want to run a Private Sub that is on Form 1, whilst Form 1 is still open.
The idea is that the data i've entered on Form 2, once I close this form, I can continue working with Form 1 with the updated data without having to close and re-open it.
In my window application, Form1 variable eg. Public str as string. value blank/null when move to Form2 and Back to Form1. How to maintain Form1 varable's value when back to Form1 In vb.net if any one know, reply me soon
I am having problems making changes to form1 from form2..I tried declaring form1 on form2 Dim f1 as form1.[code]I can change form2 from form1 but not the reverse.
this looks like to the forum I need. I have a question on somethings. My data is pulled from a local SQL sever express. First, Form1(Customer) has has data. his customer has a vehicle in another form this form is called (Vehicle) form.I have created the customer form in a detailed form and the vehicle form on a grid design.
There is no session in desktop app in vb.net .i want to transfer valuse from one form to other want to transfer form 1 (TextBox1.Text) value on form2 (objuserpage.Label1.Text)
'form 1=userpage.vb Dim objuserpage As New userpage() ' form 1 textbox TextBox1.Text[code].....
I have a panel to form2 on my form1 which displays a picture box fine. I got a peice of code that stores 5 images in an image list and works off a keypress.
When I press the Comma key the image changes to the next one. This works fine on its own but when I put it in form2 and try to put the keypress code on form1 for it to change image in the panel it doesn't work.
In the FORM1, the datagridview contain some product column and user can input the number of product quantities they want to buy.if user press the "buy" button, i want it to open FORM2, with datagridview containing the list of the product they buy from datagridview in FORM1.[code]...
I have an equation on Form1.vb that calculates a number. I need that number to be used in another separate formula that's on Form2.vb. How do I do this? I thought using a Module would work but I can't get the function on the Module to "see" the formula and/or variables that I need on Form1.vb. I am using VB 2005.
I have Form1 that has a textbox and a button. When user clicks the button in Form1, Form2 opens up with a label control that carries the value of textbox in Form1.
What i did is set the textbox modifier of Form1 to Public, but when i call the textbox name of Form1 in Form2, i get an error that says "The name "txtbx1" doesn't exist in the current context". I wonder why since i already set the modifier of txtbx1 to Public.
Quick Note: i tried to instantiate Form1 in Form2 as:
Form1 f1 = new Form1();
and then call
f1.txtbx1.text
The odd thing is Form1 could not be instantiated (not highlighting occurs). On the other hand if i do Form2 f2 = new Form2(); Form2 gets highlighted!
This is how i show Form2 from Form1:
SetSalary salForm = new SetSalary(); salForm.ShowDialog();
Using VS2008 I created a dataset in the designer and created a table with one column in the dataset. I pulled this table to create a DGV on Form1 and my column appeared (DS & BS were created on the form as well). It is on Form1 that I would like to initially populate the DT. (The DS is internal and does not have a connection string) On Form2 I would like to create a DGV and use the BS on Form1 as the data source. This is not visible, however, from Form2. I can set the data source programatically but then the column is not visible on Form2 until run time and I would like to make my formatting changes on Form2 using the designer. I tried making the DS and BS on Form1 both public but they still are not visible as a data source on the Form2 DGV.Is there a way to make a data source on a form visible to other forms in the project using the designer?
I want to create Program which have 2 forms. I want Form2 not out of Form1 region. Example: I have a form with a button. Button1 = Form.show Form2 appear on center the screen and can not exceed size of Form1.
I have looked around and I can not find what I am looking for. I would like to send a variable from Form1 to Form2. I have found out how to send I text box from form1 to form2
I am in the process of creating an excel add-in. I have created a subroutine inside one form. Using a second form, I would like to run the subrountine if the "OK" button is clicked. How do I make this public subroutine availiable between forms?
