Passing Data Between Forms?
May 10, 2010
I have 2 forms. Using Visual Studio.
On Form 1 there is a populated combo box. This was done so by running a query through it and populating it with PUZ_ID values from a data set.
On form two there is a tool strip and below is a search query.
I need to be able to select the value i want in the combo box on form 1, and launch a button that opens form 2, which has loaded the data that i binded onto the form.
So i need to run something through a query, or make something public or what?

Quite a few threads on passing data from one form to another, but I'm struggling to work out how to share data between the two - back and forth.
For example:
Class1 is a class with 10 string properties
Form1 has 10 labels ("Label1", "Label2" etc) and a [Configure] button.
Form2 has 10 textboxes and a [Apply] button.
I want to load with Form1, and create an instance of Class1. Click the Configure button and load Form2, passing Class1. On Form2 I want to manually fill in the 10 textboxes and hit Apply. The Apply should update the Class1 instance and close the form.
Form1's Label controls should then be updated with the data from the Class1 instance.
I'm fine creating the forms and classes, as well as passing the class into Form2 with a custom Sub New(EmptyClass as Class1) constructor. This gets the empty class into Form2, but how can I get the populated class back to Form1?
As Form1 already exists I don't want to create a new instance with another custom Sub New(PopulatedClass as Class1)
It's also key to be able to use the Form2 multiple times, basically ending up with a Data class being displayed as part of Form1 but updated using Form2? (For example if the Class has already been created and populated with data when it's passed back to Form2 for the second time I would pre-load the Textboxes with the values already in the class).

Passing data between forms without any public methods or properties on the forms. everything but the "Controller" class, which I would like you furnish. I just changed the title from "Intermediate" to "Beginner" This solution is an example of the Observer Pattern. The "Controller" class is the "observed" class, which in this case means it publishes events.
' File Definitions.vb
Public Delegate Sub MessageDelegate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MessageEventArgs)
Public Class MessageEventArgs : Inherits EventArgs
Public Message As String
[CODE]...
The program should initially display Form1, and Form2. Clicking of the button on either form will modify the Title Text of both forms. I think that you will find the final end result to be pretty neat, as it works with any number of open forms not just two. I think asking for the Controller class is easier than asking for the code in the forms. My solution for Controller class has 7 lines of content, 9 lines if you include Class, EndClass. A minimal solution could achieved with only 4 lines of content, but it would a textbook example of bad programming.

I need to pass a double from form1 to form2 and have form2 return this value back. My problem is while i can receive the proper value in form2 i can not seem to get the corrected value back in form1 (using byRef in form1). Here is the code snip
Dim AmountPaid As Double = 8
Dim newInvoiceRow As InvoiceDataSet.InvoiceRow
If (MakeAPayment.ShowDialog(AmountPaid) = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) Then

I have a form that has a button, when clicked it pops up a Dialog Form. Within this dialog form the user needs to select some data and when the user is finished they click the OK button. Once they click the OK button it needs to return an integer back to the previous form.I created a Dialog Form and tried calling it via the code below:
Dim intResult as Integer = frmData.ShowDialog()
Debug.Writeline(intResult)
However, it seems I can only return DialogResults (Abort, Cancel, Ignore...)I was wondering how I can try this without having to create a public variable and storing the result there.

Form1 is a Datagridview which is non editable. I want a user to be able to double click and open Form2, which will allow editing BUTForm2 is a list view and also had a binding navigator so I guess I cannot use dialogue? I do not want to simply just edit in a dialogue and save.Is there an easy way to get the record from Form1 and pass it to the controls in Form2 so that the correct record is displayed?

I am trying to pass data between forms on a double click operation. On Form1, I have a simple database with three fields (ProfileID(PK), Profile First, Profile Surname). The database has 10 records at present which displays all records in a datagrid view which is set to read only. I have the Selection Mode set to FullRowSelect to highlight the full row.Form2, is a form to Display one record at a time. This form allows editing and saving of changes.How would I go about coding in vb.net to firstly get the ProfileID from the relevant row and send this into Form2 to display that record for editing?

Imagine a project with couple of forms and a module. Now as per my knowledge if i want to send some data from one form to another then :
- If I declare variable friend/public in a module then it can be accessed in the entire project (thus also between forms).
- If I just have to send data from one form to another, then I can call the other form's sub/function and pass value.
- If the pass value by reference then I can get new value only if its changed in that function.
Now what the issue is, I need to pass a variable to a form and in that form when user types contents in a textbox or makes other selection and presses OK button then it should return some values back to the calling form. Now how can I achieve this (without declaring global variables which will be accessible everywhere) ?

Example Form1 with data bound controls and a Public Variable Form1Var.Form2 with data bound controls and a Public Variable Form2Var DataTables are related Form2 Data is related to Form1 Data in a one-to-many.What I am trying to accomplish.When editing Form1 data there is a button to open Form2 if new data needs to be added. on closing Form2 I would like Form1 to remain at the state it was in before opening Form2. If I Change Visibility of Form1 when Form2 is opened upon Retun to Form1 Data is reloaded, if I minimise Form1 when Form2 is opened upon return to Form1 Public variables are reset to defaults.I have many Forms with many controls and buttons to do Lookups or additional add to related tables.

I'm getting a little fustrated, ive been trying to figure out how to allow my main from access to a sub form. what I'm initially aiming for is control of text and font color via a dialog on the main form and the results to appear on the second form, if that makes sense. Most of my knowlege resides around using VB.net for creating games and not progams. ill post the code so you guys might be able to get a better understanding of what im looking for as a result.

I seem to be running into an issue. This may seem like a noob question (which it really is, I only have experience in vb6 from years ago) but what Im trying to do is pass a variable from one form to another. Ive tried telling the first form to set the value of the variable on the second form like so frmsecond.variable = "value" but that does not work. Ive tried placing a public variable in a module to do it, but again, no luck. The only way seem to be able to get it to work is the second form setting the variable by reading the value from the first form like so [code]The problem I have with that code is what if for some reason the selected line gets changed as the form is loading or something to that nature. It doesnt seem very secure.

I am trying to do a really simple function (atleast it was simple in 6.0)... what I want to do is have two forms. One with a textbox, and one with a button and a textbox (we'll call this one form2). When I add a value to form2 and click the button I want the text to appear in form1's textbox.
My code in form2 is...
' on event button1_click...
form1.textbox1.text = me.textbox1.text
("me" being form2)
Anyways, how to pass a value from one form to another.

I'm translating a document management application from vb6. I want to program with good habits and technique, so I'm asking for your opinion really rather than just a solution.I have a decent understanding of OOP, but I'm not very experienced in VB at all. What I'm doing now is trying to figure out the best way to pass objects between forms.For example, in my initialization form, I have an object that stores a group of database connections. I need to pass this object around because reconnecting takes a significant amount of time. There are other objects such as user info and permissions.
Public Class Form 1
Dim DB = New DBobject

I think I'm getting hung up on syntax here. I've got 2 forms and am trying to pass a textbox value from the 1st form to the 2nd. The textbox value is an unique ID #, so it's an integer value in the database. The ID displays in the textbox just fine on the 1st form. When I try to access the value of this ID textbox in code in the 2nd form, I see that the value is empty, or equal to "". But I see a valid ID # on the 1st form. Here's the code that shows me that the textbox equals "".

I'm making a simple game as my first personal Visual Basic program, and I've run into a small problem. I'm trying to make it so when you reach or pass certain amounts of experience, you receive 5 stat points, but the best I've been able to do so far is have the program add the points when you are in a small window of 2 values. This is what I have now:
If Val(lblTtlExp.Text) >= 100 And Val(lblTtlExp.Text) < 110 Then
lblStats.Text = Val(lblStats.Text) + 5
ElseIf Val(lblTtlExp.Text) >= 200 And Val(lblTtlExp.Text) < 210 Then
