VS 2008 - Sending Data / Passing Value Between Forms
Dec 15, 2009
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) ?

I have a form that loads a UserControl which has a tabpage. Each tab has textboxes that I need to update when I create the tab page. I actually had this working but lost a major version of the code and can not remember how I did it. I want to send data to usercontrol this way from the form Do While
count <= intGrpSize With TabCtrlClient() .TabPages.Add(New TabPageEx) UC.SetSessionDate(tbSessionDate.Text) uc.SetCouncelor(CInt(cbProviderID.Text))

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

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?

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 have a similar question so i thought i might post it here rather than clutter the place with a new thread, if that's okay.first off, i'm using VB 2010 Express, if that makes any difference.second, i'm trying to send data to form2 from form3 rather than the other way around. i'm still pretty much new to VB, but have a lot of experience in PHP and some in java. i'm making a basic program that creates critters on form3 and then adds them to a table on form2.[code]then adds a value of 1 to the progress bar (i still am trying to figure out how that works) on form2.

I have 2 forms. Using Visual Basic.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.Anyone have any ideas/code or need me to clear this up a bit more?So i need to run something through a query, or make something public or what?

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.

To start things up, I have a DLL called clsEmployeeModule, containing forms frmEmpInfo and frmAddEmpName. frmEmpInfo contains a textbox that when clicked displays the frmAddEmpName. Now the latter contains three textboxes (firstname, middlename and lastname) and a Save button. Once the user clicks Save, the values from the three textboxes will be concatenated and displayed as a full name back in the frmEmpInfo form.Below is the code snippet calling the frmAddEmpName:
vb
Private Sub empname_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles empname.Click If genInfo_edit = True Then call_addempname.Text = "Edit Employee Name" End If call_addempname.Show() End Sub
And here's the code snippet from the frmAddEmpName:
vb
Imports clsEmployeeModule Public Class frmAddEmpName Dim callempinfo As New clsEmployeeModule.frmEmpInfo Private Sub btnSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click mnFname = firstname.Text
[code]....
When I debugged the program, it showed that employee_fullname was successfully populated with the concatenated values -- however, that wasn't the case for the empname textbox.

I've code this code below:

Dim hwrRequest As HttpWebRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.example.com/web-service.php")
[Code]....
The MsgBox() at the end shows the response, which as I've added to my script, echos the result from the $user and $pass variables which are supposed to retrieve those details being written to the stream above, but they show up empty.
I'm retrieving those values by doing: $user = $_POST["user"]; $pass = $_POST["pass"];

I have a program that I collect data using a com port. I display that using special visual controls - no problem here.
What I would like to do is to send this same information out over the network via ethernet to another PC located in another room.
I presume I would have to have another copy of the program on the second pc as the information is simply duplicated but I am not sure how to get the data out of one to the other

I have written a class library that creates a dll to pass data back and forth within the same compiled instance exe. Is it possble to configure this Class Library in order to pass the data produced in the first instance of an .exe to other instances exe programs written in VB.NET?
My first thought was to add a Module. Older versions used Declare Files. Is there something in the compiler that I should set where the variables point to a specific memory address, or something..., that makes the variable available to other VB programs running in a seperate instance?

I am having trouble sending data to a comport..... I am a noob at this and have been doing my head in... I have done a fair bit to a few programs that I have on the go, but am stuck at sending some data to the comport...
I have in form1 put the serial port contol and added SerialPort1.Open() to that. I have then added 3 buttons that I was to use to send data to the port... Since this is for a radio scanner the buttons turn the backlight on / dim and off.....
LTN is used to turn the light on and works fine in hyperterminal.. I have got the port settings right in vs2008 but the code is wrong.
I have:

I have returned to a project I started a while ago. I have a small members database showing basic info (Title, Forename and Surname) in a data grid view with all data populated from a SQL database. I have the dataset populated with all this info as well as other data through the use of relationships/foreign keys (Addresses and Telephone Numbers, etc)I have tested the relationships using a simple form which shows the correct addresses, telephones, etc for each user as you navigate through it.
I now wish to show just the datagridview on form 1 which is read only with the row select set to full row (I have done all this so far). I have also set up a second form which displayes just the relationship data.I want to be able to load the second form (with the address and telephone number data, etc) when the row is double clicked by the user. ie - if row 15 is double clicked on, then the second form should load the address and telephone number data for record 15.

I have a very basic knowledge of coding, just enough to understand some PicBASIC Pro and program a microchip to send the values of some variables to a PC via the com port. I've used a terminal utility like Hyperterm to confirm the right variables are being sent, so I thought it would be cool to have a custom application on the PC to display these variables, and possible set them via the application by writing the new one back to the PIC. So I downloaded VB express 2008 - and whilst it was "simple" to draw a box and add a few text boxes I'm lost at how to actually do anything practical with it
[Code]...
Could someone advise me in laymens terms exactly what I need to do inorder to populate the text boxes with the data from the PIC micro. Whilst I understand the basics about BASIC, I have no idea on things like classes etc

I've got a main form (Form1.vb) where I created some controls (with the Designer).I've created a class myTextBox, inheriting from TextBox, in myTextBox.vb.In the main form, I call procedures from myTextBox. The issue is, those procedures use values from the Form controls. So the class doesn't recognise them as initialised.What's the best solution for this?I think I could pass the object itself as a parameter but doing it on each call seems a bitredundant and it thickens the code.Is there any way to access the Form1 controls and objects directly from the myTextBox.vb class?
