Oct 1, 2008I've been creating short test apps repeatedly to try to understand some of the concepts in VB.NET.For the most part it has been illuminating.I read Bucky's .NET knowlegebase tutorial on passing objects as parameters to newly created forms. He shows how to create a new class that inherits from the base form class and define a New() method with parameters Extending the concept I thought about doing the same thing with a form that was created at design-time (In this case Form2).

Object Passed ByRef To Form, But Not Accessible Throughout Form Class
Feb 18, 2010Hi
I've got a pretty general question about the best practice in passing an object reference to a Form in VB.NET. My form is a dialog and I've created an overload ShowDialog method, where I pass an Object into it ByRef.
The trouble is, I want to be able to refer to that Object throughout my dialog Class and not just in the ShowDialog method. For instance, some of my Events for controls on the form, need to reference that object.
I know I could create a local Private variable in the Class and assign it to the passed value, and then use that value. However I'm thinking this isn't very efficient because it would (I believe) create a new copy of the Object (which is a complex, large class in itself).
Threading - Access A Value Of A Control Within A Form Outside Of The Form Class
Jun 3, 2009What is the best way to access a value of a control within a form outside of the form class. I have a lot of functions defined in a module, one of these functions requires a series of values from controls in my main form such as the FolderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath element. I understand that these cannot be accessed in the format form.FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath and that they need to be accessed using a delegate. This is the part I am stuck with.

How To Draw On Form From Within Class
Jun 18, 2012I am basically teaching my students about OO programming and want them to be able to see the outcomes to methods visually. I want to draw shapes on a form but cant for the life of me get it to work - no errors but no actual shapes are being drawn. So I have created a method called drawFace which is run when a new instance of the object is created. This method has the following code in it
Form1.CreateGraphics.DrawEllipse(Pens.Black, 100, 100, 100, 50)
It doesn't cause any errors, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Also tried adding a picture box to the stage and ammending the code as such
Form1.PictureBox1.CreateGraphics.DrawEllipse(Pens.Black, 100, 100, 100, 50)
But still no joy.

View 6 RepliesCreating A Partial Class For A Form?
Nov 30, 2010I would like to create a partial class for my form. I have a lot of events, and it gets messy, so I would like to break up sections into their own files. The problem: When I create a partial class of my form, say:
Partial Public Class Form1

Visual Studio decides I need another form for this partial class.

2. If I cant do that, how can I break up all the events in my form into different files?

View 2 RepliesIDE :: Using A Windows Form .exe As A Class Library .dll
Jun 10, 2010I have a Windows Form application compiled to a .exe that contains standard classes and one windows form class. I would like to reference that .exe in another project. The dialog to add references shows .exe, I add the file to my project, I can see the classes from that file but when I run the second executable I get a "cannot load type" error when I try to access the classes contained in the referenced .exe
That behavior seems strange to me since the IDE accept the .exe as a reference and even "intelisenses" its classes.
I do this because I want a standalone version of the form, but I also reuse it in other project. Am I doing it wrong, what's the best practice in my scenario? I'd rather not maintain both a Class Library project and a Windows Form project that includes the same code.

Return Class Variable On Form?
Jan 27, 2010I wrote the following two functions in a class to take a gpib reading and also take a measurement from an LCR meter.
HTML
Public Function gpibRead(ByVal Channel As Integer, ByVal buffer As Integer) As String
Dim readingBufferA1 As String
Select Case Channel
Case 1
readingBufferA1 = gpibLCRA1.ReadString(buffer)
Return readingBuff
[Code] .....
When on the main form I call the funtion takeMeasurement(1) how can I get the LCR readings back. If I try and use readingBufferA1 on the mainform it doesn't recognize that as a variable. I know that it is taking the reading and storing the correct numbers because I am monitoring on NI Spy.
SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault In .NET Class Library Containing A Form?
Mar 18, 2009I have a .net class library with a com class that calls a form. I want to to SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false) to ensure the form fonts look nice.
If I run the command in the class constructor I get the following error:
SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault must be called before the first IWin32Window object is created in the application.
Edit1: To clarify, I get this error when initiating the class from a .net test harness, if I call it from a VB6 app then I simply get "Automation Error"
Edit2: Is the answer that I cannot use SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault in a com class when calling from a vb6 app?? Maybe it's the "parent" app that needs to call this method and as such a vb6 app cannot?
how can I make the fonts look nice in a .net class library form called from a vb6 app?
