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?
View 2 RepliesI 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.
Im running a program with multiple forms with a menu and toolstrip defined and assigned with properties in a module. each form has the Call menuload (Me) in the form_load sub.
My problem is that these menu's have menuitems which need close the shown form and open another. a sample of one of my menuitems is:
Module MenuTemplate
Friend WithEvents frm As Form
Friend WithEvents menustrip As New MenuStrip

I have to save the text boxe values of a form to a text file almost like a data record. I will be saving an Employee First Name, Last Name, Dept Number, and Phone Number. This I know how to do using streamwriter.
next form which we have to use stream reader to load one record at a time. The form has a next button to load the next record. How do I seperate each record (I am sorry for calling it a record if this is inappropriate) when use streamreader and how do I load a record at a time.
I know how to open a file and use streamreader, I just don't know how to read one record at a time and move to the next one.
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 'm a beginner and have a project that I'm using to turn lights on and off. I need to use separate forms for display on remote monitors. My problem is each form needs the same serial port open to work and the port won't open unless it's closed in the previous form. Using a module works for opening and closing the port, but only for one round. If I try to revisit a form I already accessed it doesn't work.
Public Sub sp1(byval SerialPort1)If Form2.SerialPort1.IsOpen = TrueThen Form1.SerialPort1.Close() If Form3.SerialPort1.IsOpen = TrueThen Form3.SerialPort1.Close() Form1.SerialPort1.Open() end sub
Public Sub sp2(byval SerialPort1) If Form1.SerialPort1.IsOpen = TrueThen Form1.SerialPort1.Close() If Form3.SerialPort1.IsOpen = TrueThen Form3.SerialPort1.Close() Form2.SerialPort1.Open() EndSub
Public Sub sp3(byval SerialPort1) If Form1.SerialPort1.IsOpen = TrueThen Form1.SerialPort1.Close() If Form2.SerialPort1.IsOpen = TrueThen Form3.SerialPort1.Close() Form2.SerialPort1.Open() EndSub

the project uses a submain as startup object which is located in a module, thy so the application will be started in tray. Within the main() event i need to deserialize a xml file and with it set the properties of a class and then set what the application will do.The problem is, after I deserialize it and put set the property values I try to get them in the same event(main) but when it gets the value it returns as nothing(if string) or 0(if integer) but in the debugging i saw it setting the values. Is there a way to do that, within the main() event of a module to set the properties of a class and then get them without being nothing/0 ?
View 3 RepliesI am using VS2008, I need to update a vb6 application that I wrote a while back and make it more user friendly. [EDIT] I am not using any of the vb6 code, this is a complete rewrite.[/EDIT] The application basically creates ZPL based on user inputs, it sends the ZPL to the printer via the parallel port and we have our label. I know there are pre-written pieces of software that do this but I have a few other things going on that are not an option for a pre-written label application.
The task at hand at this point is creating a form which will display a mock-up of the label and allow the user to create text, rotate it, move it, re-size it etc. I will also have to add in image support a little further down the line but I figured i would keep it simple to start out. This is my first major project in .net (the company has been hesitant to spend the money until now and I haven't had the time to do much on my own.)
I think the best place for me to start would be with a simple form with a button that allows me to create text and edit it only. I am unsure of the best way to pull this off, should I be using a label, a text box with the design styles turned off or something altogether different that I may not know about?
To summarize:
a) What type of object should I be using?
b) How would I go about creating it?
c) How should I go about making it movable/editable at runtime?
As an aside, I am aware that the ThermalLabel SDK would probably be beneficial in this application but the company is not willing to spend anymore on this project.
actually i'm trying to write a small program for my project's presentation. i created a form with buttons, each time i click on a button, i want a text loaded from MS word document to be displayed inside the form.
i thought about dislaying the text inside a label or textbox, but the problem is that the text doesn't preserve its state, i mean colors and fonts which are defined in the MS word document, it just displays everything in black color, small size..etc, even if i change the properties of the label in color or font, thoses changes will be applied to the whole text.
is there any control who can display the text loaded from a MS word coument with its colors and fonts which are already defined in the word document, or there any solution to do this ?
I'm trying to figure out the best way to reference a control on a form from within a module. Unfortunately the form is just an instance, so it's not as easy as calling form.control...
Dim ChildForm As New frmSearch
' Make it a child of this MDI form before showing it. '
ChildForm.MdiParent = Me
ChildForm.Show()
That form has an option for printing, which calls another form where certain options are chosen. The print form in turn calls a function in a module, which tries to reference back to the origional form.
childform as new frmSearch -> frmPrintForm -> sub okToPrint (in module Print)
okToPrint tries to reference a listview on frmSearch, but can't find it.
For Each itmX In frmSearch.lstResults.Items
So the solutions I can think of off the top of my head are:
1. Somehow divine which form is the caller of frmPrintForm
2. Pass ChildForm to the frmPrintForm as a variable to be passed on to module Print..
3. Use frmSearch directly instead of using an instance of it.
Number 1 would be my preference, as I don't want to have to pass forms around like that.

View 1 RepliesI am writing a program in VB2010 Express that handles serial port communication. All subs and functions that handle writing to, and reading from the serial port are in a module.
