Just started VB programming this week and have found a wealth of information about what I'm trying to do. Problem is, some of it is more complete than others.Here's what I'm trying to do:In Form1 (my main form), I want to instantiate a class that contains a couple of properties (speed setpoint and position setpoint). When I click a button, I want to pass this data to Form2 and populate two textboxes on Form2 with the properties of this object. I want to manipulate the property values on Form2 and click an OK button which closes the dialog and returns the manipulated data, updating the property values of the object. Here's the algorithm I'm following:1) On Form1, instantiate the class2) On Form1's "Pass Data" button click event handler, instantiate a Form2 object and invoke the ShowDialog method, passing the object as a parameter.
3) On Form2, overload the ShowDialog method to accept the object as a parameter and modify the method so that it returns the manipulated class data.4) On Form2, in the ShowDialog method, populate the textboxes with the class data that was passed in.Here's where I get stuck. If I press the OK button on Form2 (DialogResult.OK), it returns me to Form1, but what hook do I have in Form1 to receive the manipulated class data that the ShowDialog method is returning?Here's an example of what I'm thinking about:
Code:
Public Class Form1
Dim clsController1 As New MotionController
[code].....
I'm sure it's probably a very elementary question, but every explanation I've found seems to be incomplete.
I have tried a lot of things but I cannot get this to work. I can pass and receive ordinary strings (char*) to C++, but I cannot receive Unicode strings (w_char_t *) in C++.[code]...
View 2 RepliesIs there a way to pass variables into a form that is shown as a dialog?Dim frmCreateCSVFile As New CreateCSVFile Dim returnValue As DialogResultreturnValue = frmCreateCSVFile.ShowDialog()
It doesn't seem to find the variables when I use the form name.
dtpFirstEndDate.Value = ControlChartsCSV.dtpFirstEndDate.Value
dtpLastEndDate.Value = ControlChartsCSV.dtpLastEndDate.Value
So strings are reference types right? My understanding is a reference to the string in the heap is passed even when you pass the string ByVal to a method.
String myTestValue = "NotModified";
TestMethod(myTestValue);
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(myTestValue); /* myTestValue = "NotModified" WTF? *[code].....
And what is going on under the hood? I would have bet my life that the value would have changed....
I am trying to use string.format on a url to pass several values into the string. It's probably a simple error but I cannot get the following code to work. It doesn't even build the string.

I'm trying to make a simple Windows form app that does things. I'd like a box to show the progress of each step as it's doing these things. Sort of like a console output, except not on the console, but in a display box that is non-interactive to the user. What thing in the VB.NET toolbox do I use?

View 5 RepliesCurrently I have three separate save commands in my program: Write to Plain Text, Write to HTML, and Write to Excel File.
Each one is invoked by a different command on a menu. I would like to combine these three into one Save File Dialog on the program. I know that I would have to edit the "Filter" property of the dialog box to add in the other two types.
My questions, how do I code the program to save the file based off what is chosen from the filter.[code]...
I've made a program which runs smoothly on XP and also on Windows 7.But after installing it on a windows 7 machine, windows 7 immediatly shows another dialog box of the program compatibility assistent stating:(translating from Dutch, so forgive any mis-translations )
'This program may not have been installed correctly.If this program is not correctly installed, you can try to reinstall the program with compatible configuration of this version of windows.'You than have the option to reinstall the program with the advised compatible settings (?) or choose 'this program is correctly installed'.
If you choose 'reinstall with adviced compatible settings', windows 7 installs the program with 'windows XP, SP2' settings.My program uses only an access database and an internet connetion. Nothing fancy, exotic, registry items or something else.
For writing permission on the database (also win.7), I install the program in 'all users/app data', and not in 'Program Files'. I can't find anything usefull on google,

I am completely new to Visual Studio 2010 and don't know anything about coding.I'm making a program that has lots of dialog boxes. When a user clicks Ok on the dialog, I need it to close the existing dialog box, and open another dialog I made, and so on. Does anyone know how to do this?I'm using version 10.0.30319.1 of Microsoft Visual Basic 2010. English version

CODE:
The command procedure calls a Java program that opens a dialog box, the cmd and java exe shows up in task manager, so I know it is being called, but no dialog box. I know normally having anything show up on a server that requires user interaction is a bad idea, but in the case, the users remote into the server to do their work. (They have to because of the environment) So, there is no problem with them being able to respond to a dialog box. I just need it to show up.
(I cannot rewrite the Java program as the latest source is not the right version) Running, Framework 2.0, 3.5.
I am writing a simulator for a complex technical system. I have created a custom control which inherits from the Button control. My project requires around 100 of these buttons, which function identically except for one difference. The background image cycles between 4 different images, (depending upon whether the button is pressed and/or the state of a Fault parameter), and this group of 4 images is different for many of the buttons. So when I drag a new control onto the form, I'd like to be able to specify which group of 4 images to use for this button.
Currently I'm using this syntax:
if not IsFault and isOn then
MyBase.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.FaultOnButton01
...
But this means I have to change each image in the code for each individual button. To simplify matters I though of using the Tag attribute. That way the class code can select the images by a process like this:
if not IsFault and isOn then
Mybase.BackgroundImage=My.Resources. + mybase.Tag + "01"
Obviously this syntax won't work, so my question is: How can I pass a built-up string value to the MyBase.BackgroundImage?
I want to know on how to pass the string value after splitting them. For example, the string value is (Ron Male Norway).

Dim strArr() As String
Dim count As Integer

View 4 RepliesI'm setting up a simple helper class to hold some data from a file I'm parsing. The names of the properties match the names of values that I expect to find in the file. I'd like to add a method called AddPropertyValue to my class so that I can assign a value to a property without explicitly calling it by name.The method would look like this:
//C#
public void AddPropertyValue(string propertyName, string propertyValue) {
//code to assign the property value based on propertyName
}

Is this possible without having to test for each individual property name against the supplied propertyName?

View 8 RepliesI can pass integers, singles, doubles, and arrays of all these back and forth with no problem. But I can't figure out how to pass a string in Visual Basic 2010 to a character variable in the Fortran DLL. I keep getting the PInvokeStackImbalance error. I could just convert the Visual Basic string to an integer array containing the ASCII code for each character, send that, and convert back inside the DLL, but that's pathetic. There must be a simple way to do this.
I first tried using Dim txt(50) as Char in VB2010, and character*50 txt in the DVF F90 DLL but that didn't work.
