i need to call upon variables from different forms, in my first form i make a variable called "temp" i then use [code]to open the new form and hide the first, is there a way to access temp ( the variable declared in the first form) in the second form?
View 6 RepliesI seem to be running into an issue. This may seem like a noob question (which it really is, I only have experience in vb6 from years ago) but what Im trying to do is pass a variable from one form to another. Ive tried telling the first form to set the value of the variable on the second form like so frmsecond.variable = "value" but that does not work. Ive tried placing a public variable in a module to do it, but again, no luck. The only way seem to be able to get it to work is the second form setting the variable by reading the value from the first form like so [code]The problem I have with that code is what if for some reason the selected line gets changed as the form is loading or something to that nature. It doesnt seem very secure.
View 5 Repliesi am writing an application that will require users to provide login details. After the user has logd in a second form will be shown. Allowing the user to change his/her own details. What i have a problem is, im not able to pass the variables, containing username and password in the login form to the second form. Ive tried declaring the variables as Public but when the login form closes the variable are reset to zero.

View 9 RepliesI would like to pass variables variables from one form to another but the thing is that there is no variable that is actually being passed. I have tried to use instanciation
Dim f2 as form2

but this did not work
I am having trouble passing variables between forms. Ive tried many methods but none seem to work. The first method I tried was to dim a public variable on the first form and call it on the second....no success
Form 1:
Public cliCode as string
cliCode = me.tbClientcCode.text
Form 2:
dim clientCode as string = form1.clicode
or
Form 2:
dim clientCode as string
On the Form2 load event....
clientCode = form1.clicode
With method 2 I created some classes on which form 1 loads and form2 access........
Public
Class frmClient
Private db As New ClientDataContext
Public clientInstance As New BusinessLogic.classClient
Public cliCode As String
[Code] .....
Is it possible to share subscripted variables and their data between forms? So far I can't see the variables I made public in one form, in a second form.
View 5 Repliesi would like to say i am a novice programmer, in year 12. I am designing a small game for my HSC and one of my forms is getting very cluttered with controls and code. To resolve this cluttering, i have had the idea to create new forms for some aspects of the game (such as different game modes and so on). However, in order for that to happen i have to drag some variables of the new form to the old form, (these variables would be just booleans or integers to say whether you lost a game or won a game or something that would carry on to the main form.)

Code below just allow me to pass only one variable at one time..the code below show how to pass the platelabel to label3..
how can i pass 2 variable in the same time..[code]...
I know this should be easy but I'm either having a brain fart or I'm just more inept than I thought; probably a combination of the two.
Passing a value to a form on startup is a piece of cake, but I don't think I've ever had to do the following before in all my ooooh, 8 months of programming:
I have a main form with a button and a textbox. The button opens another form with a datagridview. What I want to do is pass the selected value from the DGV back to the textbox on the first form.[code]...
I have a Form1, the user types a "Client ID" in a textbox if it's not a valid one, it opens a Form2 in which the user selects the correct "Client ID", once selected he presses an OK button. And there comes the porblem.. it opens a new Form1 with the Client ID that he selected from Form2, but I still have the first Form1 opened.
I have two Form1 opened...
I which to keep the original Form1, but with the value sent from Form2..
I'm using this code:
Code in Form1
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[Code].....
Say I have public string variable called "_Test" on Form1, how can I allow Form2 to edit/read the variable from that form? I tried putting this on Form2:
Public _Test as String = Form1._Test
But if I start Form2 without Form1 being open, it gives me an exception.
i've almost completed my Yahtzee game except for the high scores function. I've got everything worked out except how to take the highscore variable from Form1, and share the data with Form 2

I am making a program where in form 1, the user inputs data, and the data is used in form 2.[code]There are 12 number boxes and 12 text boxes. I also tried to use a label (label 4) to test if i could even use the variables on form 1. I can't. When you press the button, It clears the text box, and removes the label.

I need to share variables across two forms in vb.net. One of them is the main form and the other is a child form.
Create a static/shared variable in one of the forms and access it in the other forms via:
Form1 frm = new Form1(); //creating object of parent to access shared variable
frm.a = "abc"; // passing value
Send an instance of the main form to the child form when creating the child form. The variables can then be accessed via a property function. Create global variables in a module. This seems like the easiest option, but I doubt it is the best option.I also read something about delegates and events, but I don't know how to implement this.
I am new to the forum and new to the visual studio set up and have been working at a practical at home and have ran into some difficulty. The notes say that I am to declare several module variables below the section entitledI have the rest of the form complete but have been unable to locate where I am to place this code
View 1 RepliesIf I typed in "Dim X as Integer" in a text box, I figured that I could just use If TextBox1.contains to make vb.net dim it. However, how would, if I typed "X = 3y * 9" in the text box, actually calculate that and print it in another text box?
View 5 RepliesI'm having an issue where I need to pass the value in a variable from one sub to anotherHere is the scenario. I have two forms; Main_Form and frmClient. I take a value from frmClient and pass it into a sub called Form_Activate located in Main_Form. I then need to take the value from Form_Activate and use it in a sub called when the user selects a menu item in the toolstrip.Starting point is frmClient and the code there is this:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender as System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim Client As Integer

I have a form that holds min two timers, One is a 72 hour timer and one is a 12 hour timer.
What I am trying to do is have both run at the same time, when the 12 hour timer expires it'll bring up a form informing the user that in 60 hours the machine will reboot (or they can just hit reboot). When the 72 hour timer expires it reboots the machine.
BUT I know my managment is going to want to be flexable. e.g instead of 72 hours make is 54, and instead of 12 make it 6.
I wish to avoid using global variables
This is the code for the 12 hour one, How do I call it and set i12sec and i12min?
************************************************
Private Sub t12hTimer_Tick(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs, i12sec As Integer, i12min As Integer) Handles t12hTimer.Tick
t12hTimer.Interval = 1000 '1000 Miliseconds = 1 second

View 3 RepliesI am trying to have it so that when a user hits a button to enter a shop, it will open a popup window which will have the shop's goods. The only problem is I can't figure out how to keep the variables working between the two windows.
I need to get the variable 'gold' to transfer to and from form2(the shop window) and whatever is bought at the store to transfer back to the main window.
Right now, when I go to form2 all the values are 0, and all the variables I used on form1 are undeclared on form2.
How do I access variables from form1 to show up in form2? Is there an easier way to accomplish this than using a separate form?
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.
I have already made my GUI with multiple forms using VB2010 and made buttons that would open and close them (me.hide and form#.show)My problem is how could I use a variable I've computed and displayed on a sub-total (cashier of sorts) to be used on the main form where it would display the bill on a listbox?Here's how the button works to compute for the item sub total
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim cstotal As Integer

View 6 RepliesIs it a good practice using global variables in a VB (.NET) application in order to exchange data between forms? As global variable I mean a public variable defined in a module and not a public member or property of a class. Moreover as my personal rule I never access a global variable from a class, but I pass the values to the class via functions.

I have 2 forms in this application. One form is just a simple SQL statement that is generated into a grid. It displays columns/rows. From there I want to be able to click on a row and have the first column of that row transferred to another form. In the second form I want it inputted into a text box. So, the user doesn't have to copy the record back out of the form then open the other form and paste.
The form opening and closing is not the problem. The problem is getting the data to transfer from one form to another!! I am not sure how to do it.. I have only been coding in VB for a few days and no formal training. I am aware of global variables and would be willing to assign the data to a variable and then have it transferred into the textbox of a the second form.
I do not know how global variables work in VB. This is what I got so far............
'The user clicked the transfer button.
Dim obj As System.Data.DataRowView = grid.Current
MsgBox(obj.Item(0), vbInformation, "Selected Data")

I am a beginner trying to write code. I am creating an application that is a questionaire with 3 forms that have questions for the user with text boxes, list boxes, and check boxes for response. Some of the text boxes with the user response are on different forms. Will that cause me problems? I would like to write code that will combine a literal string with responses from text boxes and string snippets which are inserted based on check box condition. I think I would like to create the string to be printed to a RichTextBox and then output to peripheral printer. How do I make inserting or not inserting a string based on check box condition? How can I trim the response string to allow a output string without annoying extra spaces and such?
View 3 RepliesI have 10 forms and say 5 text box's on each one so a total of 50 of these text box's. But the program is only using one of these forms only (user selects the 1 Form out of the 10) so I was wondering can these forms Share the input text box's? I am thinking NO, if so then the only thing I can do is just use 5 shared variables that all the forms can utilize.
