Passing Variable From Windows Form To Modal?
Mar 28, 2012
Windows Forms, VB. I have searched the web for the correct answer to this and no dice. Either they are missing on what I am trying to accomplish or are in CSHARP making it harder for me to see what they are doing. I have a need to pass a record Id from the main windows form into a modal Dialog Load Event.. I have tried throwing a with param in but then I have to change the Load event params and vb flags it.. I am trying to pass the value of _CurrentProp which is an integer into the dialog. This is the dialog constructor and the load event inside that dialog..
[code]...
I am going to simply assign the value to a global variable inside the PropertySettings Class but everything I try seems to fail in one way or another...

I am trying to pass information to parent form from modal form in vb.net winforms application.
1.) I created a copy of a form and displayed it using following code.
dim f=new frmParent()
f.show()
2.) Depending on conditions a button on frmParent opens a modal child form and asks for some informations. I used following code for that:
dim f = new ChildForm()
f.showDialog()
Both code works fine. When user press saves in child form i need to close childForm and use the user types values in parent form. I know how to close the childform but not sure how to pass info from childform to parent form.

I'm trying to create a child form that helps the user to enter data for a field in the parent form. I want this child form to be modal, but I don't know what I need to do to make this form modal. Perhaps there's a different type of item I need to use; if so,

No form2 is modal. Closing this form2 from the form itself is clear.But how can I close the form via myform2.close from form1 via an event handler?

I know in VBA you could pass an entire form as a varible. Since using global variables are not advised in .net 2008, is there anyway to do this ?

I have a form in Visual Basic that is adding a row of data to an Access Database.What will happen (or rather what I would like to happen) is that when the form is created, a row will be added to said database. Once that row is added, I want to have another form open (called NewWindowA) which will pull information on that database that is related to the ID of the row that was created from the first form.I know that in NewWindowA I need to have the form load the values on Load. But my question is: How do you pass a value to a new window that's invoked by some action?

I assumed it would be the same in VB2008 but I get the error.'cmbDataTable' is not a menber of 'System.Windows.Forms.Form'I am working my way through the project, first updating the global procedures - this is one - I haven't written the calls so cmbDataTable doesn't yet exist.

My problem is that is have 4 forms, 3 of these forms allow me to pass variables between them.. however one form the Booking form won't allow me to pass the txtTotal variable to the Confirmation Form.
All the other forms all me to do this, im not doing anything different i can see... im thinking that perhaps another part of the form is prohibiting me from passing that txtTotal to the Confirmatin form.[code]...

I have a VB. Net App where I want the user to open a modeless form which contains reference information about items in a select box. If the user double clicks the item selected in the list box a modal form is opened to edit the item.I want the previously opened reference form to remain active/enabled, that is, I want the user to be able to click on it, move it, etc.I was able to get the form to at least show up on the task bar by setting it's "ShowInTaskBar" property to true, however, when it comes to the front the user can still not move it to the side to view all of the Edit Forms information.

I'm having an interesting issue that I can't reproduce on a different project, but can consistently on this one. I have no clue what might be causing it, but am hoping that someone may have seen it before.
I have a main form, from which I run a series of checks. On this form, I have a listview control. Because of some issues with the refreshing of this listview control, I had to create my own messagebox. It's just a form that displays some text ( it also happens to look nicer than MsgBox; in my opinion, anyways ). It's been working great for months, until recently.
My problem is that on my main form's load event, I run this check, which returns an error within a try/catch block. I then call my custom messagebox with a message. It in turns calls it's ShowDialog() function.
In any other situation ( after the main form has been loaded ), I have no problems. The messagebox goes on the screen and behaves appropriately ( ie: waits for my input and acts as a modal dialog ( stops execution of my main form's thread ) ). However, on this onload event, my messagebox comes up and goes away almost immediately afterwards.
I've traced it all the way to the showdialog() call. For no explicable reason, it appears to skip right over this call, without me doing anything on the form.
Here's what the inner trace looks like ( when I put a breakpoint on the onclosing event for this messagebox form ):

I have a form in a vb.net windows form application called PolicyRefreshStatus.vb that has a ProgressBar control on it. From the main form called EditPolicy.vb I need to show PolicyRefreshStatus.vb over top of EditPolicy.vb - but the way things are wired I'm controlling the the ProgressBar and it's steps from logic inside EditPolicy.vbIf I display the PolicyRefreshStatus.vb bar using the .show() method things work fine.The problem is if the user clicks back on the main form then PolicyRefreshStatus.vb losses focus. If I show PolicyRefreshStatus.vb as a modal form using .ShowDialog() then execution halts in EditPolicy.vb after the .ShowDialog() statement.
so for example in the code:
mPolicyRefreshStatus = New PolicyRefreshStatus
mPolicyRefreshStatus.pbMax = mPolicy.ClaimsUpdateMax

I have a project with several forms. I need some of them to be in a modal window. How do you set this to be true? Also, when some of the forms are shown I need one of the buttons on the previous screen to be active.
I have tried:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Form.ShowDialog()
Button.Select()
End Sub

I have designed my app for multiple gridviews. When a user double clicks a row it opens up the data in a modal form and when they commit changes the row gets updated.While they have that modal window open they can not go back to the grid.But I have a alerts/messages window always running (like outlook tasks). As soon as I open the modal window I can not access that tasks window. (Default behaviour)How can I open the modal form and still let the user access/view the tasks window while they work on the modal window.(I tried creating it in a differant thread, but got a lot of cross thread errors so decided to abandon that approach.I thought that 2 modal form can run at the same time as long as they have differant parents. But aparently the main GUI thread pauses as soon as you open a modal window on it.

I have a situation where I need to display a Modal Window from a vb.net module and feed the contents to that modal form from the module.I am showing the form , feeding data to it from a class module and trapping the events in it using a timer control from the module.It works fine with Show() method but it doesn't with ShowDialog().If I used ShowDialog() then I was not able to continue with the code followed by it and not able to update any contents in the modal form.
I am using VS2003 version.Is there any workaround to this?

I want to open a form as modal without using showdialog()Problem with showdialog() is we can not open the form as mdi child with it. i want to open few forms as modal but as mdi child forms. but i want to make sure user cannot go anywhere else without closing thst form.if we set parent form enabled = false then i can not set it as mdi child otherwise that form also becomes enabled=false.
if we write showdialog() then so many form icons will appear on taskbar. it we open as mdi child then only one icon appear i don't want to appear so many icons on taskbar so i want to open as mdi child but as modal
for eg. Mainform = mdi form
from mainform open formA = as mdi child of main form (but modal)
from formA open formB as child (modal)
from formB open formC as child (modal). if i use showdialog() then so many form icons on taskbar.

As part of my design for a re-write of some vb6 code, i've got some business rules that check the data being entered. These rules run on the business layer, but if they find any data that is incorrect, they need to display a modal form showing the 'violation' (or could be a warning, a question or some information).
So what i'm after doing is to somehow display a modal form in my presentation layer triggered by my business layer.
The only solution i've come up with is to raise an event to get the modal form displayed, catch the event in the presentation layer and display the form (all items on the form would be bound and so would display the correct information). Problems with this is that i would then have to put the code to sleep in the business layer until i got a responce from the presentation layer.

All of my forms are MDI children. I have one form that is collecting input parameters for a report. One of the parameters needs to come from another form. For the life of me, I can't get it to work.
[Code]...
I have to message box code just to verify the selection. glbPart is just a hand off parameter to tell the frmVendorList code to come back to this form rather than where it was origianlly programmed to go.I tried a do until glbVendor <> "", but that put me into a death loop and I never got to select a vendor from the vendor list form. Obviously, the easiest would be if I could make frmVendorList Modal, but I can't see how to do that once it's been created modally.
