Opening Form - Expression Cannot Be Converted To Type TextBox
Mar 13, 2011
A week ago, I encounter an error while doing my project. I failed to open certain form in vb.net. While clicking a button to show the form this will came out.
"[An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Argument 'Expression' cannot be converted to type 'TextBox']".
I am a newbie in VB and I got a piece of code which can display the current running program. I need to use that in VB2005 and I got the below error message. Can anyone help how to fix it?[code]
I'm trying to convert a VB6 project to .NET, but I get problems with some callback functions, and the following message comes up: "AddressOf' expression cannot be converted to 'integer' because integer is not a delegate type" I've seen several solutions to similar problems like this, but I am not able to understand this issue with delegates.
After the conversion, the code look like this:
Declare Function vsmsgwSetDataPackageCB Lib "vsmsgwW.dll" (ByVal PACKAGE As Integer, ByRef arg As Integer) As Integer Dim arginitP As Integer
[Code]...
Which gives the error: Method 'Public Function PackageCB(HisNodeID As Integer, ByRef data() As Byte, ByVal length As Integer, ByRef arg As Integer) As Integer' does not have the same signature as delegate 'Delegate Function DelegatePackageCallback(hwnd As Integer, lparam As Integer) As Integer
I have user control which has one button. To handle click event of button I have added following code in usercontrol.
Public Sub ChangeClickHandler(ByVal [Delegate] As EventHandler)
[code]....
Now, I want to handle this click event where I call the this usercontrol. I call the usercontrol through reflection so I get the control in a form of object.
Dim button as object button.ChangeClickHandler(AddressOf mymethod), this line gives me error "'AddressOf' expression cannot be converted to 'Object' because 'Object' is not a delegate type."
How to create an instance of a form if it is not know in advance which formtype has to be opened. If you want to skip the chitchat: the .NET code example is at the end of this post. First the Symantec: when we create a new form, this form has a name. If we refer to that name, we actually refer to the name of the type of object that is just created. When to use of course when reading the subject you might think: why not just pass the form to a parameter that takes a form (or control/object)?
The answer is: you don't when it is not sure, when or if a new instance of the object has to be created or, as mentioned, when the procedure is called it is not known which class has to be created. You could of course hold a bunch of created objects, but that would be a shameless misuse of memory. Imagine the following scenario (seen something like this in a post, but can't find it anymore):
You have a class that is able to trap an event, say the doubleclick of a textbox, and has to open a form when it occurs. If it's always the same form, that's easy, but what if you want it to be determined during runtime? This is a quite common story: doubleclick on article opens the detail form of that article, doubleclick on supllier opens that particular form. If you use a form variable, how do you say to the class which form should be opened? This will not work
Code: Dim FormToOpen as Form 'you don't want to open it right away, you want to know when the time comes what form to openFormToOpen = Form1You could say FormToOpen = new Form1, but then 1. an instance would be immediately created, even if it never will be used: memory leak. 2. you can never close the form, you'll always have to use the same instance created when setting the form. Consequently, you can never open more than 1 instance using this way.
The solution: use the type. If you know the type, the Activator class will enable you to open (and return) an instance of that form at any time and as much times as you like. (The Activotor class exposes the function CreateInstance which returns an instance of the specified object)The following code creates an instance of the type form1 and shows it.
Code: CType(Activator.CreateInstance(GetType(Form1)), Form).Show()Or for better readability, the same code split up: Code: Dim FormToOpen As Type FormToOpen = GetType(Form1) Dim frm As Form = CType(Activator.CreateInstance(FormToOpen), Form) frm.Show()

I have a project in VS2008.Net3.5. I have 3 forms in total. The Sub Main() in Module1 first calls the Form1. Then Clicking Button1_Click event in Form1 opens up Form2. In Form2 I have a text box that I will fill out from Form3. But when I am Clicking Button1_Click event in Form1, it can't keep Form2 open but it opens up Form3 directly. I dont want this. I want to open Form2. In Form2 I will press the textbox and then we have Form3 open. But this is not working.==============

The Sub Main() in Module1 first calls the Form1. Then Clicking Button1_Click event in Form1 opens up Form2. In Form2 I have a text box that I will fill out from Form3.

I knew that in Form2 the first focus is going to the textbox and it then opening the Form3 for the GotFocus method. How can I move the focus to other control in Form2 instead of the default focus to my textbox. Or is there other event method other than GotFocus?
