How To Change Label Text Using Textbox Text From Another Form In VB 2008 Express
Sep 17, 2010
I cant seem to find any link or topic regarding my problem. I have 2 forms in a project, form one has labels and adjacent combobox while the other form (form 2)has textboxes with adjacent combobox. I am supposed to change the text property of the labels using textbox entry from form 2 and add/delete/change combobox contents in fom 1 using entries combobox at form 2.
Is there a way that a label's text is updated each time the input of a textbox changes? The textbox and the label are on the same form. I looked everywhere but didn't find a solution that worked.
In a piece of code I am writing I am trying to change the text of a label in my form based on a timer. I have MANY other labels that are all updating in their own subs and when I try to add any new labels(in any sub) to update it wont. I am using Label.Text = counter where counter is a string that is changing. I have tried refreshing the form, Label.refresh() Label1.Update()....The only thing I think it could be is that the redraw is being held up by other calculations on the cpu. How can I make the label text change and update properly?
This is the only way I know how to obtain the info I need for this equation but if generated again with no input from the textboxes I get an error. Is there anyway to bypass this if its generated a second time with no inputs?
I am making an application and i require a labels text to change between specific times. For example between 11pm and 5pm i want the label's text to be "closed" and then between 5pm and 11pm for the text to be "open".
I have a label that reads a random line from a text file and that string becomes the text for the label.
Now the problem; the label will only work if it is clicked because the event handler is click.What I need is this to work automatically at startup. In other words, it should change the label's text to the random string of the text file on startup of the application.
The code above is what I am using to add the Value of Label 1 (Pizza Total) and Label 2 (Drinks Total), however it seems that in the final total it doesn't appear to add the value of Label 2.
I have this problem but I already simplify the code as below:Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Label1.Text = "hello" System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) 'MessageBox.Show("hahahaha") Label1.Text = "world" End Sub
What I'm trying to achieve here is, after I click the button, the label1.text should change to hello, and after that to world. But I couldn't achieve that. Instead when I click the button, it just paused for 5 second and displayed world.System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000) The code is just a dummy for a loop that I have.
I am having trouble getting the Student Name entered in the Student Name Form to change the Text titles of the GroupBox's on the Main Form and Schedule Form. I understand the logic of what needs to be done to some extent, but I am having trouble coming up with the correct coding.
Below is a snippet of the Student Name Form code that I tried most recently just to see if I could get any change to happen to the other 2 Forms when the Accept Name button was clicked. As of yet, I cannot get a change to happen at all in the groupboxes of the other Forms.[code...]
I am making a Help-form for my application. A Help-form normally has a ListView on the left and a RichTextbox on the right. When you click on a Help topic in the ListView, the text in the RichTextbox is supposed to change accordingly. The text file is part of the application's resources.
I have a normal textbox which multiline property is set to true and now I need the text written in the textbox should have a large font size.So is it possible with the normal textbox.[code]...
How do I show timer countdown to a text label in form? I have the following code set up:
[Code]...
What I'm trying to do is when I click button 1, timer start countdown from 15 sec. I want to be able to show this timer in sec and millisec in form in a text label so the user can see how much time they have left. (example: 12.56 sec remaining)
basically i need to change the text of a label where the name of the label comes from the value of a variable.So, for example,
Dim x as String = "lblTarget" Dim y as String = "Target Text"
In this case the text of "lblTarget" would need to be come "Target Text". Basically, the label that is named the value of variable x would need to take on the text of variable y.
I am new to the forums and just started to learn vb.net. Currently I am making a project that require a lot of text. 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
I have written a public sub to update a label on a different form by passing in an integer. If I pass in the -1 value it will update the label, but if I pass in any other value, it will run the code (verified by stepping line by line) but the label won't update, even when adding the doevents.
Public Sub mstidlbl(ByVal cnt As Integer) SyncLock Form_PG_Collect_Master_ID_Label If cnt = -1 Then Form_PG_Collect_Master_ID_Label.Label1.Text = "ID: Paused..." Else
Im trying to write a program that has a thread and the text of the label should be updated every 100 milliseconds. I have the following code but it doesn't work.
Private Sub ThreadTask() Dim i As Integer i = 0
[code]....
I get this error message if I run the program:Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'TimeLabel' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
I need to Change text of label One by one with One timer For Example! "S" 'step1 "Sh" 'step2 "Sha" 'step3 "Shar" 'step4"Shari" 'step5"Shariq" 'step6"ShariqD" 'step7"ShariqDO" 'step8"ShariqDON" 'step9
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 have a "Start" button and a label. The label.text during form load contains "Ready...". Now what I want, after I click the "Start" button, the button will become grey and the label.text contains "Processing...". I managed to make the button become grey, but I couldn't change the label.text from "Ready..." to "Processing..." and back to "Ready..." after completion of the task.
Here is the code: Public Class Form1 Dim i As Integer Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click [Code] .....
*In actual, the do until loop contains more than just 2 lines.
What happened when I click the "Start" button were, it became grey, it filled up the texbox.text with number from 0 to 1000 and after it finished processing then the label.text change to "Processing..." where it supposed to appear before the loop start.
I have only 1 Label in my form. There is no text in Label1. I want that when I run the project, the label has any word or number in it like '1'. I want that when I run the project again, the word or number in the label should be changed to '0'. The name of my label is Label1.
I'm trying to change a text that a label displays during each iteration of a Do While loop in Visual Basic. One label (which displays an integer) works fine, however the other stays blank until the loop finishes and displays the final result.
Private Sub btnCalc_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOblicz.Click Dim W As Single Dim L As Integer Dim J As Integer Dim Y As Double [Code] .....
