I am developing a windows based application in VS2005. I want all my form to be inherits from one of my class e.g.ParentClass but indeed the windows forms already inherits windows.forms.form class. what I have tried is that, I inherit "windows.forms.form" in "ParentClass" and all forms inherits my "ParentClass". But in this case when I view the design of the form IDE gives error.
View 3 RepliesSeveral years ago, I created a nifty data entry form that is called from a main menu. Due to recent user requirements, I had to create another form that is very similar to the data entry form. To prevent duplicate coding and testing, I created a class to inherit the existing data entry form. The issue is when I leave the class and return to a sub menu, the class is opening the main menu and the sub menu. How do I only return to the sub menu without the main menu appearing? Here is a snippet of my code. You'll have to scroll down to the very bottom to see the section that is causing issues. BTW, I coded the application in such a way that only one form should be open at a time.
frmMenu (main menu). This is nothing more than a bunch of buttons that allows the user to perform various functions.If user clicks button #1, open the data entry form:
Dim objFrm As New frmDataEntry
bolOkToCloseForm = True
Me.Close() '--- close the menu screen

I have put this code in the global form Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form. And then in the form that will inherit this from the global Inherits MenuStrip. "MenuStrip" is what the global form is called. But keep getting this error: Error1Base class 'MenuStrip' specified for class 'Lesson2' cannot be different from the base class 'System.Windows.Forms.Form' of one of its other partial types.
View 5 Repliesi have a class call it clsFamily this class contains properties that make up a family object. This class works fine with no issues. Now i need a new class (called MyAccount) which contains 3 properties, an ID a user name and a clsFamily object. I have declared both classes as Friend from within my globals Module and define the clsFamily as family, however when i try to put this type within my 2nd class i get an error "Type 'family' is not defined" what am i doing wrong? i know i could get it to work fine by adding the ID and User Name properties to the clsFamily object but i need to define this as a new type of object as the ID and User name are not normally part of this class.

View 6 RepliesCan you define this :
Class
Object
Inheritance
Polymorphism
Abstraction
And could you make it easy to understand I'm having a hard time to understand those terms.
I have to write an inheritance hierarchy for class Quadrilateral, square and rectangle. Use Quadrilateral as base class of the hierarchy.
So for I had this:
Public MustInherit Class Quadrilateral
Public Function getName() As String

View 1 RepliesThe TextBoxBase class is marked MustInherit, but I can't inherit off it. When I try to, I get a squiggly line and the message System.Windows.Forms.TextBoxBase has no accessible Sub New and cannot be inherited.This is kind of pretty inconvenient, as I need to extend this class. (And before you ask, I need to extend this class because TextBox derives from it, and I want to Shadow the TextBox class's TextChanged event - but the TextChanged event is declared in the Control class, not the TextBoxBase class. So there.)

View 1 RepliesBackground:I have a base class and several inherited derived classes. The derived classes don't always need to have the same properties. If any properties are shared among the derived classes, those properties would live at the base class level ('Contents', for example).Similarly, GoodDocument below has 'GoodThings' but would not want/need to have 'BadThings'.I want to treat instances of both 'GoodDocument' and 'BadDocument' as type 'Document'
public mustinherit class Document
public property Contents as string

I am cleaning up some code and I have multiple classes that are 99% exactly the same. So my understanding is that my options are...
1. Create a class and all other classes inherit from it and modify it a bit
2. Create an abstract class and all classes inherit from it and modify a bit ** I took this route
3. Create an interface and all classes Implement that interface.
Here is my 'original' class below (the one that all of them look 99% identical). This class is used in an arraylist so I have a listing of all my images from a folder I have searched.

View 7 RepliesI'd like to give a homework assignment to a person learning VB.NET. I'd like it to use basic inheritance and a variety of data structures including queues, lists, arrays, or stacks in a windows forms application. I was thinking of a pizza-ordering application. This would allow them to utilize some basic inheritance and practice using .NET UI elements.
View 2 RepliesI tried it and get an error but maybe I'm tring the wrong way. Can a usercontrol inherate an application defined class ie.. could you inheritance a classic rect class into a user control to add the hight and width properties to the control without having to do all the coding all over again? Currently I just declair a private instance of the class within the control and then encapsalate. It would be nice if I could just inherit all the functionality of my classes into controls designed to implament the classes.

We have an application that has a main form with a map on it. Right now the paradigm is to have forms that are displayed using menu items to display information to the user. Most of these forms are modal forms, but a couple are non-modal forms that interact with the map. For some of the forms, it really would make for a better user experience if we could dock them in the main form of the app and allow the user to see both the form and the map. For instance. We could have a list of map features in a docked window, and select one of the items on the list and have the map zoom to that feature. Or do the reverse: let the users select a map item and have a docked window that shows details of the feature. Sounds great, but I wonder about what sort of gotchas we may encounter. In particular, what if we have two windows docked at the same time? Could we get tangled up in our event code?

I have a solution that contains several class Libs that are called by a main windows app.
One of these libs (Utils) has a form that I display to provide feedback. It's content is controled via properties in the class as is the show/hide actions. The form is declared as "Public lfrmMsg As New frmMessage" in a module with the class project.
The first time I call the form it works fine. However after calling the hide property (calls lfrmMsg.hide) I can no longer show the form as it is disposing.
My objective is to have a single instance of this form that can be called at different times and by different classes/apps.
