Open (2nd) Form From (1st) Form In Multi Project Solution In VB
May 14, 2011I have read a lot of the prior questions/answers on this topic but it only took me so far. I have a solution to which I added 2 additional programs. These 2 added programs in essence create a PDF2TIFF converter using GS. I wish to call that form and use it as a utility from my main program. After reading other answers in the forum, I added these two programs as references in the main program and imported everything available, into the main program. I have what seems to be a correct build order set up. I want to open the form in the utility project(s) from a link on my main form. I tried a few things but the only way I could write the code without errors was to instantiate the second program then call that with a button click.

Multi-threading Forms - Open A Separate Form As A Separate UI Thread From The Start Up Form
Oct 27, 2011I have a few forms that have a lot of really intensive updating along with a great deal of user interface (text boxes, button clicking etc) Is it possible to open a separate form as a separate UI thread from the start up form that called it to "show" or open or whatever the new method might be?
View 6 RepliesChanging Multi-langauge On Form?
Feb 14, 2009I cannot get my application to display in English, it always displays in French I have an application that uses 2 languages. The default language is en-GB and the second language is French For setting the text of the buttons and labels. I have set the localized property to true and changing the language to fr-FR on the form. So setting the default languages controls by choosing the default the language property, and then switching to French language to set the French controls. So I have the following files:
Code:formMain.resxformMain.fr-FR.resxformMain.Designer.vbformMain.vb
And for message boxes and other strings I have added these 2 resource files
Code:formMain.Strings.resxformMain.Strings.fr-FR.resx
So if I want to switch to different languages I have changed the cultureInfo as follows:
Code:If My.Settings.Default.Language = "fr-FR" Then Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("fr-FR")Else Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("en-GB")End If
And for string I use the following:
Code:MessageBox.Show(formMain_Strings.SameStringName)
I also an address book form that is a child of the formMain. Which I have used the same method. However, the address book works as normal, but the formMain never changes to the language I want. Even though tested by explictly setting the language to en-GB in the form constuctor before the inializeComponent() it will always default to French.Not sure why the address book (child) work correctly, the parent form (formMain) will always display in French, no matter if I have set this to en-GB.I am 100% that my method is correct using what I have show you above.I was thinkng about deleting the formMain and creating a new one. But that would mean doing everything again and would take too long.

View 2 RepliesListView - Resize Multi Columns In Form
Aug 19, 2011I got a very simple question regarding resizing listview columns. I have a form with a listview anchored to it (top, bottom, left, right). The form is resizable and the user will be able to resize the listview columns manually. However, I need the listview to resize its columns automatically when the form is resized (especially when its maximized).
But, I don't want all the columns to resize, only the ones I choose. For example, the listview will have 6 columns in total (0-5). When the user resizes or maximizes the window, I need only columns 2 and 4 (or columns 3 and 5 or columns 1 and 5) to resize. Now, I have come up with two pieces of code as listed below.
Code Part A: The following code only resizes one column. When the form is maximized, only the column ID provided will resize and fill the rest of the control. It works perfectly but I need to be able to resize multiple columns (as explained above):
Public Sub lvResizeSingleCol(ByVal resizeColumn As Integer, ByVal listViewName As ListView)
Dim w As Integer = 0
For column As Integer = 0 To listViewName.Columns.Count - 1
If column <> resizeColumn Then
w += listViewName.Columns(column).Width

Properly Close A Form While Multi-threading
Jan 4, 2012I thought Me.Close() works, but hey I'm a noob at this. Right now I'm using:
Form2.Show()
Me.Dispose()
Me.Close()
but now that I've published it, I have to pull up my task manager and do end process to actually close the app. This wasn't a problem until my office started using a public drive and everybody was using the program at once. An error popped up saying that the connection string wasn't initialized, but it worked on the computer that opened the app first. Maybe the real issue isn't properly closing the form, but that is annoying that I have to use my task manager to close my app.

Programmatically Changing The Culture For A Multi Form Application On Startup?
Feb 18, 2009Is there some way of programtically changing the culture for a multi form application on startup so that the application will interpret date formats correctly. For example if the aplication runs on a machine with a en-US culture it would be able to take a date from a database in the MM/dd/yyyy format and convert it to a date object and when the same application runs on a en-GB machine it can take that same MM/dd/yyyy date and convert it into a date object without getting a date format exception.

VS 2008 Form - 'Exit' Button - When User Clicks It, Another Form Is Displayed
Jun 2, 2012On each of my form I have put an 'Exit' button. When user clicks it, another form is displayed (I don't want to use 'MessageBox') asking user whether he really wants to quit. If user clicks yes the form closes. If user clicks no, form is redisplayed.
However, out of 4 forms only one form refuses to redisplay. The code is exactly same on all forms. I have included 2 Express 2008 projects showing one form each in the zip file apps-ssk.zip

VB 2008 - Change Child Form Combo Box From MdiParent Form
Feb 23, 2010In VB 2008, I have a Parent form with a combo box on it. There is a child form also with a combo box on it. I want to be able to change the values on the child form based on what the user selected from the main form. The user launches the child form from a toolbar on the Parent form. The following code is run:
[Code]...
What I want to do is if the Parent's combo box has "Red", "Blue", "Green" values and the user selects "Green", the child form's combo box(With the same values) will also change to "Green". (I do not need to change the Parent form if the child form changes.) I've tried changing the Child's combobox from the combobox's change event on the Parent form, and the code runs, but nothing changes on the child form.

VS 2008 Different Ways To Call Another Form From A Parent Or Preceding Form
Aug 4, 2009I need to know the proper way, or maybe I should say, the different ways to call another form from a parent or preceding form. I am currently using ex: formname.showdialog() to call my next form, but I am uncertain if I should be using that in every situation. [code] Whats the difference between these different methods? (ex: .showdialog() , .show() )I tried both of these to open a temporary form to retrieve a persons name from a database, so as the users progresses through my training program they can keep track of their scores.But, I also call other forms as I branch through my program, from the main page, to a secondary page, to a testing page, to a results page and then back to the secondary page
View 5 RepliesVS 2008 Populating Cbobox On Form Load For A Child Form?
May 14, 2009i am having an issue populating two combo boxes on form load. The program will connect to an access database and pull data as instructed. Then as it pulls each record it puts it into the combo box.
This was working.. atleast i think it was. i dont recall it ever not working, however i wasn't looking for it.
My problem is that if when i load the MDI parent form and have it skip the selection form and the login form and load the next form in the sequence, it loads everything perfectly. However if the select form is loaded first, then the login form and then the form i need loaded, it will not populate. The only difference between the two different loads is that the login form calls a function that loads the form as a new project.form
I did this so that I can have multiple forms open at a time. I am assuming my problem is that I need to get the child forms handle then populating controls using that handle? but i think if I had to do that then I would beable to populate the comboboxes on the first form load using the login method of opening the form.
Here's my code.
vb.net
Private Sub frmLine1t5_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.Text = "Line " & LineNumber & " Test Form"

VS 2008 Multi-threding - Adding Multi-threading Facilities - Cross-thread Operation Not Valid
Feb 10, 2010I'm adding multi-threading facilities for the first time. I have a function that is wrapped to be run in a separated thread. This function retrieves data (text) from a combobox and it works for sure without multi-threading.
When I call it as multi-threaded, I get the following error when I try to retrieve the data from the cmobobox: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'cmb1stBL' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
It looks like a restriction of thread-safety... I assume that the child thread cannot read from his parent, to make sure that he doesn't change his parent data. So how can I read the data from the combobox? Should I read the comoboxbox data before calling the child thread?
