I have a Main Module that loads a form. I want to update text on a Label, my code is:
Public mFormSplash As Form = New FormSplash
Sub Main
With mFormSplash[code]....
The code loads the form OK but does not update the Label's text (LabelStatus)I am getting an error Error:
'LabelStatus' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.Form'.
This worked ok on a previous project and I can't work out what is different.
Have a label on a form which I want to show run time status, and have a code module which stores some functions. How do I send text from code module functions to this label on form?

I was using 2 forms, the first one has general data capture and the second one is a calendar form. On Form1 I have mulitple windows controls. A Textb ox and beside a Calendar button. When I click on a Calendar Command button, it should open calendar form and once the user selects the date, the date should be placed in the text box on the form1. Identical to this on Form1 I need multiple textboxes that needs date to be captured.I cannot use a global variable for this as I need to validate mulitple text boxes. To explain this, I have a Transaction Date and Date Received. I need to validate whether Transaction date is prior Date Received or not? I dont want to use several global variables b'coz I might need multiple validations as above. Please help me on this.

I have a main form class MainForm the class has got: a variable call Value and a label called LabelValue
Now I would like to automatically update LabelValue every time the Value changes his value
i have been trying to get a module to change the text of a label but it does seem to want to.
i havent coded for a few years and in the days of old i remember it being easy, i.e form1.label1.text = "what ever". only that give the error reference to non-shared member.
so i dim formstat as form1 and try again with formstat.label.text = "what ever" only this time it give the error nullreferenceexception was unhandled
I'm trying to write a sub that when sent a form (if its needed) will create a label on that form. This is because all of the forms will have the same title label. My problem is that, basically, I have no idea how to do this. I also can't get labels to create when the code is written into the form itself; I tried:

I am writing a control application for an inteface card. The complicated work of initialising communication with the card is written and working fine. However, my problem is to update the text in a dialog label on the communication interface form from a module that contains all the coding for accessing the inteface card. From the module, the interface dll returns data that describes some typical connection errors and the module then calls on Public Subs in the form to display error messages; for example:This is the Public Sub in the Module that initiates communication with the interface card:
Public Sub OpenDeviceInterface()
DeviceID = 1 - My.Resources.DeviceID
h = OpenDevice(DeviceID)
Select Case h
Case 0, 1, 2, 3
[code]....
What happens when these Public subs are called from the module is that the MSgBoxes I made to test the routine show up but the label text doesn't appear.I've tried; Refresh, on the label and the form without success...
I'm at a complete loss here, its probably me being stupid and missing something simple but i don't appear to be able to update a testbox (CreditInfo) on Form1 from a module (SerialData). It doesn't give any errors, it just doesn't work. If i put a Button on Form1 to update the testbox(CreditInfo) it works... however i need it to be automatic.. Dave

I was a vb6 user, done a few projects only with forums Now i am moving to vb.net(vb2010) and i have some trouble.Lets say we have a form(form1), a module(mod1) and a textbox on the form1.
i want to start a Sub (DoWork) in the module but in a new thread.
Dim Thread1 As System.Threading.Thread
Thread1 = New Threading.Thread(AddressOf mod1.DoWork)
Thread1.Start()
The DoWork sub does some stuff and when it's finished i want to change the text of a textbox1 in the main form and start another sub (DoWork2) on the main form under the main thread not the one DoWork is running under.
Plese do not refer me to another post that mighe give me a part answer, try to explain to me what i have to do and why.
In my vb.net winform application, on click of start button the label1.text should be "process started" then some filesaving method will run after finish that method the label1.text should change to "file saved".
Private Sub btnStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnStart.Click
lblStatus.ForeColor = Color.Red
lblStatus.Text = "Saving to File"
[code]....
the initial status of label "saving to file" is not comingup. after the Trigger method finished, the status of the label is changing to "File saved"
I've been having this problem with my program hanging up sometimes. I tracked the problem down to the following statement:
me.lblPrompt.Text = strInfoToDisplay
So I checked strInfoToDisplay and sure enough it had in there what I thought it would. So then I checked lblPrompt. I'm using the command window and just using? me.lblPrompt.Text to get the system to tell the the value. Well, guess what it does? It hangs up. I haven't been able to get the command window to tell me one time what's going on. However, I know it has to work sometimes becuase the program (from the user standpoint) doesn't always freeze up the way it does when I can't read the prompt.
I have several group boxes on a winform. within each there are several labels.I am accessing the group boxes with no issues but I can't seem to find a way to update the labels within by looping. They have the same name except the last character which is a number 1 - 9. ex. lbl1, lbl2 ... lbl9.I need to update the text of each label in code with text I get from a database ex. lbl1.text = one, lbl2.text = two etc... I want to loop through the labels to assign the text. Getting text from database is no issue what I am not doing properly is getting the labels.
do while QstNum < 10
Dim ln As New Label
ln.Name = "SC_Cat" & QstNum

I want to read from a text file and display it in a label. However, when I do that, I see that there is no word wrapping. In the sense, a whole paragraph is displayed in one line and the next one in the next line and so on. Can some one please tell me how to read text from a file and make it display as it is (lines as they are)? I am using the following code right now:

Is there a way to change label text at run time?. I don't want to annoy users with popup. So planning to display error in a label if its text could be changed.
So far I have included a Main Form which has a label lblErrorFeedback which is not visible initially and I have done this but does not work.
lblErrorFeedback.Visible = True
lblErrorFeedback.Text = ""
lblErrorFeedback.TextAlign = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight
lblErrorFeedback.Text = "Error Occured"
Is there a better way to show the error with out popups?
how to justify the text in the labels so that they look good - I mean, instead of the default left-aligned text-format, is there a way to make it justified.

Basically I want to have a textbox (TextBox1) that when you enter an area code (ex. 512) that it will return the state (TEXAS) in the label (Label1). One way that I had been trying before was to reference from a text file the array that I am using which happens to be in the format of 512, TEXAS.
I would like to use this for multiple area codes and have been unsuccessful in getting it to work. Any help with that? Any ideas how I could get it to work?

Since I would need over 20 labels and do not want to hide every single one, is there a way to place text on a specific place on form through coding. Then, I could just make it a sub and easily hide the text and reveal it
