Forms :: Obtain Listbox Items From Another Form ?
Sep 15, 2011
I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express. I have 2 forms. A main form which does all the grunt work and then a small supporting form to get some additional user inputs.
Some program background...I am developing a program to characterize solid rocket motors based on test stand data for a hobby project. I load the time, thrust data into lists via a streamreader from a text box.
However, since the data is raw I would like for the user to select the "start" and "end" of the burn. I am currently trying to do it right after I load the data. As I read the data in, I just put it in the listbox of the supporting form as well. My main issue is, I need two values from the user. A start and end time. the index would probably be easiest, as I will rewrite the data list based on the time increment and delete everything before the first listbox selection and everything after the second selection. I can't get the values from the main form. I have exhaustively searched the internet trying to find something that I can apply. If someone could help with a framework on how to do this.
I understand how to get text from this text box on a different form, but this deals in variables and maybe setting up a class? I am having trouble communicating between the two forms.

I have a listbox on my form, and a procedure that scans a certain directory for sub-directories, it then adds each subdirectory as a item in the listbox.
ex :
g:movies2010Clash of The Titans
g:movies2010Date Night
g:movies2010Red Dawn

I remember in the old VB6 that there was something simple as listbox.add("my string", 1 This '1' would meant the position I want it to be added, which means 'the top'I'm sure it sounds newbie... but hey, what a heck... I'm only been programming .net for a few months.

simple problem that i just cant figure out. here is the code
[Code]...
this code works fine as long as i dont remove ALL items, the error i am getting is index is out of bounds of the array, i have tried -1, -2 0 +1 +2 and all are still giving this error, i cant just create code for remove all as i wont always need all removed so i kinda of have to get this code or something similar to remove only checked items. the code below is code i have tried

I am trying to get the items out of a listbox and put into a text box .. I am putting the listbox items into an array and I keep getting this error: InvalidArgument=Value of '1' is not valid for 'index'. Parameter name: index
bolded code where this occurs here is my
Private Sub btn_BuildText_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn_BuildText.Click
Dim delimiter As String 'Holds the String character representing the chosen delimiter
Dim i As Integer 'Loop counter

I'm using the following to add a list from a txt into a listbox, which works perfectly.
Dim OFD As New OpenFileDialog
OFD.Filter = "Text Documents (*.txt)|*.txt"
OFD.Title = "Open List"
OFD.ShowDialog()
ListBox1.Items.AddRange(IO.File.ReadAllLines(OFD.FileName))
The similar thing below does not work to load sites from the clipboard. What else could I use.
ListBox1.Items.AddRange(IO.File.ReadAllLines(Clipb oard.GetText))

I am adding an object to a Listbox which has the properties "ID" and "Text". I have set the "DisplayMember" property of the Listbox to "Text" and "ValueMember" to "ID".Everything works fine when I add a new item to the list, but when I edit the item and change the "Text" value, it is changing in the object but the Listbox still just showes the original value.I have tried calling ".Refresh" and ".Update" to see if they worked, but made no difference.I usually use VB6 for prototyping programs but decided to use VB.NET for this one. Did not realise VB.NET got shot of the "ItemData" property in the ListBox control.

I am using VB.NET (version 2008). I have two types of items populating in a listbox (checked listbox). For example: lets say one is type "A" and other is "Type B". Their names maybe same so if the user sees those items in listbox then he won;t be able to determine their type until he click on them and checks out its properties. I wanted that I add each item to listbox and colour them so that blue for example means type "A" is there and red means the other. So this way I will be able to know at a glance that how many item of what type is present. I guess it may not be possible to do that in a standard checkedlistbox. I am also using component factory's krypton controls which enhance the gui of an application. But I dunno if I can progress using that.

I am making a virtual crafting application (similar to that done in Minecraft)
currently I have made a test "crafting recipe" which checks if the listbox (mixbox) has 1 window, 1 door and 1 wheel. the code looks like this:
If mixbox.Items.Contains("window") Then
If mixbox.Items.Contains("door") Then
If mixbox.Items.Contains("wheel") Then

I've looked everywhere on the internet for multiple items drag&drop between listboxes and found only examples showing single item drag. I know how to make a single item dragdrop operation between two listboxes using MouseDown, DoDragDrop, DragEnter, DragDrop Now what I'm looking forward to learn is the ability of dragging more than one item from one listbox and dropping them in another listbox

I was writing a program that would save the contents of a listbox to a database and wanted to reload the users' choices when the opened up that particular row again. My first thought was to do it with two for loops, just as I used to do in VB6, but I thought there must be a better way to do it. And there was. Sort of. It basically involves using the SelectedObjectCollection class.For this demo, you'll need a listbox called Listbox1. Set selection mode to something other than "One" or else it won't work as expected
Dim items(0 To 3) As String
items(0) = "One"
items(1) = "Two"

Say I have a rolling collection of values where I specify the size of the collection and any time a new value is added, any old values beyond this specified size are dropped off.Obviously (and I've tested this) the best type of collection to use for this behavior is a Queue:
myQueue.Enqueue(newValue)
If myQueue.Count > specifiedSize Then myQueue.Dequeue()

How can you add items to a listbox on a form? Also this needs to be included so if another item is added by user it will be added directly to database.
Reason i am asking that is my project has to work in cojunction with Oracle Plus.
So far if i remember it is something like
.Add("Horror")
.Add("Romance")
I'm unsure if that is correct but i want the items to appear so the user can select one from list.
I think you have to include a data reader but don't mind that i can handle that. All i want is to add items to listbox when form loads.

I have two forms with one listbox on each form. How can I show what I have in the listbox on form1 on form2. I have a button on form1 to go to form2.
Private Sub btnform2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnform2.Click
Form2.Show()
Dim sTemp As String = TextBox1.Text & ":" & textbox2.Text & ":" & textbox3.Text & ":" & textbox4.Text & ":" & textbox5.Text
Form2.ListBoxFonts.Items.Add(sTemp) 'add to the listbox
End Sub
But when I click the button it goes to the form2 but it only shows one list and nothing else. When I go to form1 to add another list, it comes up with the listbox on form2 with two list, but when I go to my form2, it only shows the latest one I put in, it never shows two or more list, its probably just one line of code.

'Form 1- start a new thread and declare a new second form. Have it invoke before adding an entry. as this apart from "CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false" is a workaround.

Our chapter is all on printing, but the teachers example sends the data to a new form, into a listbox. How do I take the contents of a ComboBox from one form and input it into the ListBox on another form, first adding the line "High School List".
I have this much, but then don't know how to read fromt he ComboBox. Not what is highlighted, but the full contents.
FrmPrint.Show()
FrmPrint.LstPrint.Items.Add("High School List")

I have some info in a listbox on another form. I want that information parsed to another form, and I would like to, for how ever many items there are in a listbox, create a button for every item and obviously parse the name to another label. I guess I would do this via an array.

I am trying to autoselect pre-programmed items in a listbox when a form opens with the control on it.but i cannot find a proper method to select all the items in the listbox and hold the resulting text as a string that will later be saved to a text file. i do not need help with saving the text to file but rather selecting the items in the listbox.so, after alot of trial and error and no luck I think I am supposed to use
ListBox.ObjectCollection
propriety. but i have no clue whats so ever in how to manage to select all the items in the listbox when this form opens...if this does not make sence then I will rephraze it.

I have a form in VB with many (over 100 - fields, labels, the form itself etc...) items on. I wondered if there was a way of refering to all the items on the form without having to list them all individually in the Handles keyword, which is extremely long winded! I want to carry out the same action wherever the user clicks on the form. At present I have the following
