How do i go about making variables on a second form have the same value as in the first form while still being able to make the variable on the first any given word or phrase and it appear the same on the second form?
View 2 Repliesi'm working on a project and i need to know how to exchange data between two forms,so like there's two forms one loginform and other the main form and if the login is correct,a boolean will be set to "true" .the problem is you have to dim the boolean twice, each in the two forms,so there's no way to exchange the data.i tried it so that if the login is successful,a textfile is created and then the main form detects the text file automatically,

View 4 RepliesI have a VBA form in Microstation I am using to try and help automate a task. The only problem I am having is I am reading a textbox (Filebox.Text) and setting it as the variable (FN). It works, because I used Msg.Box (FN) to test it. However, in two of the lines of code, I am trying to use (FN) to pass the typed in filename to the command to run in Microstation. Unfortunently, it gets passed on as (FN).dgn instead of the actual filenale typed into the textbox. Is there a way I can make the variable actually seen as a variable? Code on Pastebin: url....Also, not sure if this is the right section, 100% new to VBA, coming from a world Bashed together.

Hi.
Im using this little function to search for text within some downloaded HTML source:
Public Function GetStringBetween(ByVal InputText As String, _
ByVal starttext As String, _
ByVal endtext As String)
Dim lnTextStart As Long
Dim lnTextEnd As Long
lnTextStart = InStr(StartPosition, InputText, starttext, vbTextCompare) + Len(starttext)
lnTextEnd = InStr(lnTextStart, InputText, endtext, vbTextCompare)
If lnTextStart >= (StartPosition + Len(starttext)) And lnTextEnd > lnTextStart Then
GetStringBetween = Mid$(InputText, lnTextStart, lnTextEnd - lnTextStart)
Else
GetStringBetween = "ERROR"
End If
End Function
It works great, but i need to be able to search for something that spans over 2 lines. E.g.
Sam works in a shop from the hours
of 09:00 to 15:00
I want to search for the words "hours of" - but because they are on seperate lines, it cannot find it.
I have tried "hours" & Environment.NewLine & "of" - and other variants of envirmonment.newline (knowing they all return the same value, but, hey, you gotta try) but to no avail. Surely there must be some sort of syntax to ge around this?
Any ideas?
Greetings,
My app saves a bunch of stuff to an XML file. This is my line of code-
Using writer As XmlWriter = XmlWriter.Create("C:vdx2kMWSREEXTReportsInboxTK" & frmCitation.txtCiteNumber.Text & "Traff.xml", settings)
So that saves it at that specific location.
I need to duplicate the XML and have it also save in another location. I've been at this for days, Googling, searching, trying different things and now I need to turn here for help.
Any ideas?

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to open a connection and create an SQL statement with two different tables in different Access DBs. Is this possible? I'd like to join the tables in a query.
Is there a great advantage in splitting somewhat large Access databases? Or is it best to just create a large access database with many tables?
Basically I try to get a DataGridView and a BindingSource working inside a class. I define them by:
Dim TempDGV3 As DataGridView = New DataGridView
Dim TestBinding As BindingSource = New BindingSource
When I manually add columns to the DataGridView, it works perfectly, but when I set it's DataSource to a bindingsource from a base class, it doesn't load data and keeps throwing 'object does not exist' errors. The bindingsource mentioned here did, however, work on other DataGridViews that are defined in the base class (and implemented in the form to which the base class belongs)
Same for the BindingSource(not the above mentioned, but the one I try to create inside the class in the beginning of this post). I try to use it in the following way:
TestBinding.DataSource = TempDGV3
TestBinding.Filter = filterString()
SourceDataGridView.DataSource = TestBinding
But the BindingSource keeps returning 'Nothing' for it's datasource and basically doesn't work. However, the SourceDataGridView mentioned here gets filled with 63 columns with "AllowUserToAddRows" and other properties when the columns names are asked.
So my question is: how do I get the BindingSource and the DataGridView to work in this class? I'm getting the feeling I'm missing out on something very obviously here. If that's not the case, I can report back with more code?
This is a very basic newbie question, but I still haven't worked it out yet. I have a fair amount of code that I want carried out inside my Form1_Mousemove event, but I also want the exact same code inside the Form1_MoveClick event. I assume the best solution is to take all of the code and put it inside a seperate procedure and call it from both events? Or is it possible to call one of the events manually so inside my Mouseclick event, could I force a call to the Mousemove event?

I'm relatively new to the vb.net framework and object oriented programming. After perusing the threads for a few hours I can't quite find an answer so I'm posting this thread. I'm not necessarily looking for code examples. I just want to know if it's possible and where to look next. Basically I'm trying to build a starter application that will help me learn programming. One of the main things I want to do is to be able to dynamically (at run time) create a set of information (data) that can be manipulated via a set of static (and/or dynamic) functions/calculations. The reason I need it to be dynamic is because even though this program is really just for my own fun and perusal on my own machine (and I want it to be able to run without any outside connections (i.e. databases or servers) the data itself is going to be location (i.e.State of residence or even city) specific. Essentially most of the data will be numerical and can be of the integer type. But I'd like to be able to adjust and create new data sets if desired. From everything I've read and researched I haven't found a way to do this (at least now without an excessive amount of coding that is above my expertise). So I want to know if there is a way to do this that is relatively simple.

That give a form name and return a variable of that type. In other words, it must work as "dim f1 as new formx".
I want to pass variables from one form to an other. The variables i I need in the second form( called" Hulsview") are :" hulsbreedte" and" hulslengte".
