Forms - Accessing Declared Form From Another
Jul 18, 2009
Basically what I need to do is change a textbox on Form1 (AKA mainwin) from Form2 (AKA loginwin) using data that is inputted into Form2. I've done this before with applications by declaring Form1 in Form2, but this time I just get a NullReferenceException error. Here's the code I'm currently using for Form2. Maybe someone here can tell me why it's not working. [Code] I can't figure out why it's not working. I've used this same method before and it always worked.

I am desinging a form with mutiple controls on a tab page control and was moving controls between tab pages by cutting and pasting them. The forms designer obviously got confused at some stage and I now have controls that are declared in the designer.vb but do not appear anywhere on the form.
I can't even rename the controls that are there which have been given generic names to the names I want because they apparently already exist. I realise I could edit the designer.vb and remove the references to these controls but that seems fraught with danger?

I have a thread running on a child form, I want to activate a control on the parent form but cannot. It works fine if It's done from the child forms UI thread:
(FormMain.SetControlPropertyValue(FormMain.RBSQL2005, "Checked", True))
but not from a thread running on the child form:
Public Class FormRestoreDB
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

i have an application for which i have created help files which are html files. my pplication resides in a directory for which the system path comes out as c:Document and settingsvisual studio 2005crmscrmsindebugcrms.exeI have the help files put under the crms directory which has the bin as its sub directory.i.e. c:Document and settingsvisual studio 2005crmscrmshelpmain.htmlIn my application i would like to access this file and launch it in Internet Explorer. I dont want to hard code it as this will be deployed on a terminal server and therefore i would like to use a relative path. I searched on the net and could only find solutions that used Application.StartupPath or few others which point to the exe file.
I tried extracting the path before that and managed to get a substring which held contained c:Document and settingsvisual studio 2005crmscrmsTo this appended the helpmain.html, i tried launching the file as followsSystem.Diagnostics.Process.start("iexplore",s);where s, stores the appended string. This is the error i get, cannot open file at location:Document%and%settingsvisual%studio%2005crmsc rmshelpmain.htmlIts not liking the space in the path, is there anyway to resolve this.

I am trying to access MS/Word document properties without opening the file in Word. Right now I have an app that reads the document properties but it has to open the document in word. This makes it run very slowly and also makes it susceptible to crashing if the document is corrupted. In Windows Explorer, you can right-click on a word document file and select properties. The ensuing dialog box contains, in addition to the usual information, two additional tabs labelled "Summary" and "Custom" that correspond to the same tabs in the dialog box you can open from File/Properties menu in Word. I know windows explorer is not opening the document in word because there is no instance of word.exe in task manager and because it has no difficulty in obtaining this information from the file even when it cannot be opened in Word because the document has become corrupted.If anyone could help me figure out how to read custom and built-in document fields (properties) from the file without opening it in Word,

I don't know the best way to use multiple forms in VB, but I have created a problem and I'm not sure where it came from or how to fix it.
Background: I start the program at Sub Main. This is the main function:
Code:
Module modFunctions
Dim frmD As frmDAQ
Dim frmT As frmTrendView
[Code].....
it works, but I don't want to have to change the entire project.

I have written a code and tried linking up groupboxes from my input form called input.vb and the output form called results.vb.
[Code]...
I have used the above codes to access groupboxes from both forms. However, at run time I get errors saying "InvalidCastException was unhandled" and below that it says "Conversion from string to DOuble is not valid". This error points to a value in a group box that is actually hidden or disabled.

I have a program I've been working on for some time now and I'd like to try to streamline it somewhat. I have a main menu form that has a split panel, in the left panel is a treeview that displays forms you can open and when one is selected, it opens in a child window in the right panel. Each time I open form I called DWNForm, it does a series of dataset loads which are the populating items for a series of listviews.
What I would like to do is have these datasets load once during the mainMenu load and then have the DWNForm be able to access the datasets once it is called from the treeview selection.

I have to make some automatization on a web server, I use Visual Studio 2005 Visual Basic Windows Console Application. I want to make a load/performance test of the web server, so I open several Internet Explorer instances, and I login the application, that is not a problem. But after that I have a mess on the page and I cannot make any more automatization...The composition of the page after the login is like this: I have the default form, another form and a multiple data window(mdw) controller, which dinamically can switches the forms on this part.
The problem is that I don't know how to access the controls of this mdw forms. I couldn't find much about this mdw controller and I am not an expert.
My code is here:
Imports System
Imports System.Diagnostics
Imports System.Web.Ui.Webcontrols

I have a form where I open an Access database with 3 tables. I have defined datasets and dataviews for these three tables in the main form. I want to open a new form and access and update the tables using the dataviews I've already defined. When I try to access a record from the dataview using the new form, it's not defined. Can I pass the data between forms or do I need to redefine it in the new form? This is the first time I've tried to use multiple forms.
