Forms :: Reference Form Using Variable
Aug 18, 2010
I have an application consisting of 2 forms (Form1 and Form2).There is a text box on each form and they are both named Text1.From a sub routine in a module, I want to alter a text box on one of the forms. The sub determines which form to write to and attempts to refer to the form using a variable.But in the example below, gForm never gets declared when it's nested within the If statement.[code]The actual application is not so simple and I need to use this or a similar approach throughout the application in order to reduce code redundancy.To recap, I want to alter a control on a form by replacing the form name with a variable name.

I am upgrading a very large project from VB6 to VS2008. I have several forms with dozens of combo boxes on each form. I use the same combo box names for each form and want to fill them from a module with different items depending upon the calling form. In VB6, I dimensioned a public variable - FormName as object and called Set FormName = frmMyForm1 on Form Load. In a module, I was able to write the following code:
With FormName
.combobox1.additem("item")
.combobox2.additem("item"
End With
I cannot make this work in VB.Net. When the form loads I call FormName = Me. If I dimension Friend FormName as Object, I get the error message that Public member combobox1 on type MyForm1 not found. If you are attempting to access members on a late-bound object make sure it is declared public". If I dimension Friend FormName as Form, I get an error that says "combobox1 is not a member of System.Windows.Forms.Form".
I have tried both CType and DirectCast to convert the form variable from Object to Form with no success. I also tried creating a public array and storing each form name in it.

I have one form, which the user enters upto 5 websites then clicks go - I have on the second form, the one with the webbrowser. A timer which checks if the web browser is busy then either a green light or black image will be shown along side the assocaited input box on the first form.I am finding it impossible to feed variables into the clock through ByVal, like I would a subroutine or function.
Private Sub ActiveMe_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ActiveMe.Tick
If ((WebBrowser1.IsBusy)) Then
Hey.BackColor = Color.Black[code]....
'Error message says Hey is not declared, as i can't pass it through to timer
The variable Hey is determined by the first form - Which picturebox.I have an if statement which simply says if inputbox one has url enter then Hey = Picturebox1, If input box2 has url entered then Hey= Picturebox2 etc.What I want is the timer to check the page has completed loading or is still loading or refresing and the appropriate green or black to be shown aside url input box on first form.I considered using a sub or procedure to act as a clock (a large for loop with another for loop within it, acting as a delay). But found this slowed down theapp to the point of crashing it.

I want to pass variables from one form to an other. The variables i I need in the second form( called" Hulsview") are :" hulsbreedte" and" hulslengte". To check if the varibles are passed I added a textbox in the second form,called" hulsview" to check the variable" hulsbreedte". The value selected in the combobox on on form1" hulsbreedte = HulsBreedte1.SelectedValue" returns always 0 in the textbox on de second form.
Here is the code form1:
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Public hlb As Point 'not used
[Code] .....

I have about 60 Child forms
Each have a variable with same name.
In Main form I want to set the value of the variable of the active child.
One way of doing that is like
Select Case Me.ActiveMdiChild.Name
Case "formName"
frmformName.Variable=0
I donot want to do that as it involves writing many cases and I may miss some.
Is there some other way of doing it .
I tried
Dim O as Object = Me.ActiveMdiChil
O.VariableName= 0
and its various variants but its not working

The code below works for the class that I hard coded "XCCustomers" in my RetrieveIDandName method where I use CType. However, I would like to be able to pass in various classes and property names to get the integer and string LIST returned. For example, in my code below, I would like to also pass in "XCEmployees" to my RetrieveIDandName method. I feel so close... I was hoping someone knew how to use CType where I can pass in the class name as a string variable.
Note, all the other examples I have seen and tried fail because we are using Option Strict On which disallows late binding. That is why I need to use CType.I also studied the "Activator.CreateInstance" code examples to try to get the class reference instance by string name but I was unable to get CType to work with that.When I use obj.GetType.Name or obj.GetType.FullName in place of the "XCCustomers" in CType(obj, XCCustomers)(i)I get the error "Type 'obj.GetType.Name' is not defined" or "Type 'obj.GetType.FullName' is not defined"

I am working on a little program (game) is called Pig latin. I created a sub procedure and I passed the word to be converted by value and the piglatin word byref.Now when I call the procedure in the button click event I get the wavy green line under the variable passed by reference but the program works ok. Call Convert_to_Pig_Latin(strOriginalWord, trPigLatinThe error message when I hover my mouse over the green line says " Variable strPigLatin' is passed by reference before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime."

Class1:
Dim v as integer
public sub storeVar(byval s as integer)
v = s
end sub
[code].....
I need to save a reference of variable s in Class2 in variable v in Class1.(i.e. when the value of s changes v also changes (and vice versa)Is this possible since vb.net doesn't have pointers?Will it work if I change "byval" to "byref"?

Such as:
mylist.FindAll(Function(item) item.property = variable)
The reason I ask is if I use syntax like this, I tend to get a string to whatevever conversion error, which makes me think "variable" is being treated literally as a string.

In the above code i have created a reference to class B from class A. The reference variable "refB" created as a attribute. But i need to encapsulate this reference variable in a property also i need to ensure than instantiation reB = New B() is done even after the use of properties.
1. How do i encapsulate the class reference variable "refB" in property?2. If i hide this class variable "refB" in a property, how do i write the code code initilize "refB" in "A"'s constructor?

passing a variable to a sub procedure by reference. Not sure I understand how it works. Here is the code.
Private Sub bntcompute_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles bntcompute.Click
Dim x, y As Double
getnumbers(x, y)
displaysum(x, y)
[code]....
Is the newly modified variable actually being Passed back? and If so where in the statement is it passed back. is it being passed back to the call getnumbers or is it passed back to the statement displaysum?

I have many textboxes that I need to reference dymanically. The controls themselves aren't dynamic, just the way I need to reference them.I've got several text boxes say:
txtMe1
txtMe2
txtMe3
...
txtMe100
I will need to randomly change one of the properties of the edit boxes. So lets say it picks a random number between 1-100 which is 56. So, I would want to change the background of my 56th edit box to:
txtMe56.Backcolour = Color.Gray
The only way I could think of doing this would be to have one giant select case statement to evaluate the random number. But, that is really dirty and not the best peformance wise (this could potentially get called hundreds of times) so was wondering what my options are?I tried to concatenate the random number to my generic control name 'txtMe' but it throws a wobbler. I essentially would want the following to worK:
dim iNum as integer = 56
txtMe & iNum & .Backcolour = Color.Gray

I'm building SQL statements with a bunch of values from a dataset. Obviously that gives some really long names to put inline or even in parameter. addwithvalue code so beforehand I just declare a bunch of variables with really short names and assign them to the DS's exact fields like: [code] but this way I'm putting all the data in the dataset into memory twice by copying it into a new variable, right? So I was thinking, if it's just a string variable representing a field on the dataset, why not declare it by reference so the variable is basically a handy nickname pointing to that field in the dataset.Will it even work to have a string declared by reference and connected to one value inside of a dataset? And if so, will that stop duplicating everything in memory? I forgot how to declare a variable as a reference to another variable instead of the normal way in VB.

I have a VBA form in Microstation I am using to try and help automate a task. The only problem I am having is I am reading a textbox (Filebox.Text) and setting it as the variable (FN). It works, because I used Msg.Box (FN) to test it. However, in two of the lines of code, I am trying to use (FN) to pass the typed in filename to the command to run in Microstation. Unfortunently, it gets passed on as (FN).dgn instead of the actual filenale typed into the textbox. Is there a way I can make the variable actually seen as a variable? Code on Pastebin: url....Also, not sure if this is the right section, 100% new to VBA, coming from a world Bashed together.
