How To Add One ListBox Items To Another On Different Form
Jun 8, 2011
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.
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.
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.
'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.
Code: Public Class Form1 Dim t As New Thread(AddressOf startanew) Private Sub startanew()
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 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 webbrowser I'm making, and my listbox items for form2 disappear once I close form2 and reopen form 2. However, once I restart the program (Close everything) and re-enter, the data is saved. But once I reopen the selected form, the listbox items are lost. Here is my code (It's long)
i have two forms, one form is for accepting the details of the customer and other form is to export the customer details to excel. In the second form i have a listbox which contains all the names(rather captions) of the controls on the form1. like Items In Listbox -> Map onto control of Form1 customer Name -> txtcustomerName Address -> TxtAddress. What i want to ask is what is the best way to get the values from the form1 based on the selection(s) of listbox in form2
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 am using the below code to find all the items in a listbox using vb.net 2005. But how can remove the non searched items from the listbox after searching?
I've got a checked listbox on my form which saves the checked items to a spot in my database on the .ItemCheck event.But there's a problem, when I begin checking items, I check the box and click off it, but it doesn't save. (This is if I've only chosen one item)
If I choose two or more items it will save, but unchecking them takes a lot of clicking around to figure it out.Is there a better event that I can use? I've tried the SelectedIndexChanged and that has the same result, there's a lot of clicking around in the checkboxes to end up with the desired selected items, and it does not allow a single item.
probs a simple answer but my mind is blank atm. I have this code to move all items from listbox3 to listbox1 but it wont move them unless i select 1, then it moves all items.
I have a multiple form application with a listbox on each form. I want to be able to select an item in one listbox on one form and then click a button and it show up in a listbox on another form.
I'm making an application that does some stuff involving the given subject, so this is very crucial to the completion and efficiency of my application.What I'm in need of today is simple (well, "seems" simple). I have one listbox that I want to populate with directories file's names. I don't mean the files inside the directories, but the names of the folders inside the directory.So, I have "c:empdog", I'd click on my button or whatever and search for the directory and I choose "temp", said listbox would show "dog".
UPDATE: Oh, BTW. It doesn't HAVE to be a listbox, it can be anything (IE: Textbox, Labels, Etc.).
my homework question is to display the selected items from a listbox (multi-extended) in a label. I need to display all the selected names in a label. the simplest most uncluttered way of doing this. This is what I've got but it doesn't work.
Why is this code having the opposite effect? If It's checked in the checkedlistbox it's not check in my view, if it's not check in my checkedlistbox it is checked in the grid.
EDIT: More specifically. The CheckState.Checked is always the opposite. .Checked means it's not checked.
Private Sub CheckedListBox1_ItemCheck(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemCheckEventArgs) Handles CheckedListBox1.ItemCheck Try
