I have created my app to load with a argument
now, what I want to know if it's possible to pass the load argument even if app is loaded
like
app.exe -a = loads a special form on app.exe at load time
and if app.exe is already loaded to load same form if user requests it again from a shortcut or so
I'm writting a class that needs the form handle but there is a way to use it without send it as argument in the class constructor or in a property?I know that the handler is not set until the form is completely loaded so that is another problem too.The basic idea is catch the form handle without pass it as argument and handle the wm messages.
View 2 RepliesDoes the following work in VB 2008 for passing an array to a function:
Public Function functionname(ByVal array1() As Short, ByVal array2() as Short) As Short
Also, can ByRef be used in place of ByVal?

How can I pass a sub address into a subroutine.
I understand delagates but not enough to figure this out.
I have a sub that creates and adds menu items to a menu and I need to use it in more than one project so I want to put it into a library.
But I don't know how pass it the address of the subs to attach to the new menu items.
I am trying to pass an argument to a sub then have it add to my listview, my code is:
Module modFunctionsSubs
'Function and sub routines
'This sub logs an even in the listview
Public Sub logEvent(ByVal statusText As String)
listViewMainLog.Items.Add(statusText)
End Sub
End Module
My argument is getting through ok, statusText but I get an error:
'Name listViewMainLog is not declared'
Can we pass more than 2 argument to our events, tell me in brief about Events
View 1 RepliesI've got several user controls and every time I add them, I post this
Dim uc As New ucTemplates ' 'ucTemplates' is the name of the actual user contrll
gbControls.Controls.Clear()
gbControls.Controls.Add(uc)
So, I'd like to create a sub that does the same thing, passing the usercontrol as an argument
Private Sub AddUC(myControl as UserControl)
gbControls.Controls.Clear()
gbControls.Controls.Add(myControl)
End Sub
But - when I try:
addUC(ucTemplates)
I get an error that ucTemplates is a type and cannot be used as an expression
I can get it working if I add the Dim uc As New before the addUC - but I'd rather have it so I only repeat one line, not 2
I know how to pass arguments between two dotnet applications! However I have hard time with this: I want to pass a command line argument. for example; test.exe is a console application (none dotnet) self terminating app. From cmd.exe if I type "test.exe -v" the cmd output text will display the test.exe version info. If I place the test.exe in the same path as my VB.net app.What I want to do is:

The problem that I am facing is that I want to call a shared DLL created by qt4. Now reading the result from the DLL file is working well and good. But the problem arised while passing arguments required by the function in the dll file.The argument (both string or int) is not passed properly. Suppose I pass an integer argument 8, but 1 is passed. Whatever is my input only 1 is passed.

View 6 RepliesI have several parameters consisting of separate System.Byte() arrays. What I need is the syntax for a function declaration where the parameter is an array of arrays - I do not want to delve into System.Collections, and it's my preference not to CType each array into an Object and then back into a Byte().
Problem I'm having here is that:
Public Function MyFunc(arrayparam() As System.Byte) As System.Byte()
accepts a single-dimensional Array of individual Bytes.
Then Public Function MyFunc(arrayparam() As System.Byte()) As System.Byte()

I have a program I've been working on for some time now and I'd like to try to streamline it somewhat. I have a main menu form that has a split panel, in the left panel is a treeview that displays forms you can open and when one is selected, it opens in a child window in the right panel. Each time I open form I called DWNForm, it does a series of dataset loads which are the populating items for a series of listviews.
What I would like to do is have these datasets load once during the mainMenu load and then have the DWNForm be able to access the datasets once it is called from the treeview selection.
I am trying to use a progressbar to show on main form and then finish when next form is loaded, I have got this code.
1. When I click on button, it must open next form, but the next form must only open when the data in my list box has been loaded from Access Databse. When I run my program, it only shows the progressbar and don't open the next form.
Main form code:
Public Class Main
Dim PB As ProgressBar
Private Sub main_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub
[CODE]............................
I made this procedure re-use a select query:

The string ends up having an empty string value. How do I assign the value I queried to that String?
I have a sub declared inside a module which accepts form as argument.

I have a form that loads in my project and does some task on its own, then closes itself. I'm implementing a new functionality into the program where I need to call this form with an argument (to later be used as a conditional clause). If I call the form from a certain button, I want to launch the new form with an argument ("automatedTicket") and I will then use this argument as a conditional test in the code of the form.where, in the ACCEPTING form do I put the argument declaration?
basically i need to do something like:
ServiceTicket.Show(False) 'false for being a manual ticket (click of button)
ServiceTicket.Show(True) 'true for being automated (no user intervention)
then in the ServiceTicket form, where do I put that I'm expecting one argument? and where do I declare that argument name (automatedTicket)?

View 4 RepliesPrivate Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.Hide()
End Sub
I want to hide the main form when it is loaded, but the code above doesn't work. Can anyone show me how to do that?
I am learning VB.NET and as a first task I am creating a login form. I've been trying to link it to another form once a correct username and password are entered. However, despite that I still cant be able to hide it or unload it once the next form is loaded.
Here is the Code
Private Sub OK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK.Click
If UsernameTextBox.Text = "chris" And PasswordTextBox.Text = "chrispass" Then
Me.Hide()
Form2.Show()
End If
Me.Close()
End Sub
The Form2 appears as coded above but the 'Me.Hide()' manages to hide the login form but then it appears again.

View 1 RepliesSo just to get better at VB, I'm trying to make this application that takes pictures from your clipboard and uploads them. I'm adding a label, that will tell you if there's anything in your clipboard or not, but the problem with that is that I don't know how to make it check the clipboard all the time.I'm still a beginner, so I only know how to make the app do something when a Form has loaded up, or clicked etc., but how do I make it so it checks the clipboard when it has changed? If I can't do it, how do I make it so it checks the clipboard like maybe every second. Do I need to use threads (I'm not sure, because I don't quite fully understand threads).
