I need to be able to access a progressbar in my form from a separate class.
I tried
Dim Prog as Progressbar
Public Property Pg()
Get

I need to be able to access a control from a separate thread and return to the thread again.
Edit: Its just an example I gave prog a value of the object from the form and the invoke required is put in a sub so thats not my problem.
how can i allow a progressbar to be changed on a seperate thread? my code keeps saying that i cannot access it because it was created on a seperate thread:

If it is not worth it, it is not fun - you say programmers are boring but i say they are worth it.
I've been searching for the answer for a while but can't find it yet. Basically so far I have a simple VB.Net form with one button.I would like to make a class or module that can handle events from the main form. This is my code so far but it doesn't seem to work.
View 6 RepliesIn an application with multitab on a user Form after collecting some information I will plug it into an access database and collect data and disply it with another "Second" User form.On the second user form I make a selection from 1-10 selection on the second user form, and again I will read the access database using the selected data by the user and would like to plug in to the First user form and close second user form.Somehow my textfield is not accessible and I get the yellow tip of "PLName is not member of 'Windows.System.Forms.Form'"[code]
View 4 Repliesi would like to have a shared function in a separate class file to address the form location . but i dont know how can i get this to work. if i use this below code in my form its working . but i cannot move this to a class file.

Me.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual
Me.Location = Screen.GetWorkingArea(Me).Location

I 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 RepliesExample:
Two files - TestClass.vb, myForm.vb
TestClass.vb looks as follows:
Imports System.Threading
Public Class TestClass
Private myClassThread As New Thread(AddressOf StartMyClassThread)
[code]....
The result:Application runs, no errors or exceptions.Displayed is the listbox and the Start button.I press the start button and a msgbox says "Not Invoked" as expected and upon clicking OK to that msgbox "Start Button Pressed" is added to the Output listbox control.Immediately following that the msgbox pops up again and says "Not Invoked". I was expecting "Invoked" as a separate thread is trying to use the Output listbox control.Of course this results in the Output.Items.Add being attempted which results in no visible result as the thread is not allowed to directly update the UI control.
What is the best way to access a value of a control within a form outside of the form class. I have a lot of functions defined in a module, one of these functions requires a series of values from controls in my main form such as the FolderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath element. I understand that these cannot be accessed in the format form.FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath and that they need to be accessed using a delegate. This is the part I am stuck with.

I am new to .NET 4 and VS 2010. I am using VB 2010 and have made a class and need to know how i can access those functions in the class within another form. So there is a function say of XYZ in the class named classes.vb and need to get to it from form1.vb

Any idea's on what I'm doing wrong?frmMain is loaded first. Then the idea is to load the other tabpages using a separate thread as they take awhile.[code]

I don't want my application's main form to be displayed when it opens; I just want the notifyicon control in it to show in the taskbar.This is the code I have been using:
Module:
Code:
Module mdlStartup
Public Sub Main()
[Code]...
The NotifyIcon control is in my frmMain. However, when I run my program I get mulitple instances of the Notify Icon being displayed. I even get two frmMains getting launched if I try clicking the other tray icon that has been made. I'm guessing this has to do with the New instance.If that's the problem, is there a way I can move the notifyicon control to some completely separate class?
I want a string and a listbox, both which are in a form to be modified by an instance of a class method. Should (could I):
1. Pass the entire form to the class method as parameter.
2. Pass the listbox and the string to the method as parameters.
What's the best approach to get access and modify this string and listbox on the form.

How can I move the following to a separate class for repeated use ? (the problem is that it uses response object)

I have a listbox in separate class like this [code]

How can I use that list box that I have created in that class on this form or I want to show that listbox on my form?
this example shows my problem. I'm using VB.net 2010

What happens is "Goose" is not only stored in tory(1) but also in tory1(1), how can I stop this.
I'm writing a program and rather than having all the print properties in the main form I'd like to have them setup in a seperate class. I've done printing before by setting all the properties in the form where all the controls are located with no problems but this has me stumped. Reason for doing this is just to try and organize the program a little better and there are several areas of the program that will have different data and format to print so this will cut down on having potentially hunderds if not a thousand lines in that one area. I can't imaging that this wouldn't be possible.

I'm working a business layer (separate assembly) that will contain various business entities used in multiple client applications. One of the client applications is a WCF app that will need to serialize these entities. In order to properly serialize the entities, metadata for data contracts or for XML serialization must be added, but the serialization requirements may vary across applications.
Clearly I need the metadata separated from the class definition. So how do I add metadata to my entities for each separate application?
I have a class, called myClass.vb. I have a sub in it. this sub has a string variable, which has got some value. Now, i want this value to be transferred to the button_click event of a very seperate form called myForm.vb.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to use a progressbar to show on main form and then finish when next form is loaded, I have got this code.
1. When I click on button, it must open next form, but the next form must only open when the data in my list box has been loaded from Access Databse. When I run my program, it only shows the progressbar and don't open the next form.
Main form code:
Public Class Main
Dim PB As ProgressBar
Private Sub main_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub
[CODE]............................
I didn't think this would be a problem, but it appears that others also search for this solution. There is an annoying DING! when hitting the Enter key in a ComboBox in VB.Net so I sought solutions. Here is the solution I am working with. I created a new seperate Class within my Project...
Public Class ClasscboBox
Inherits ComboBox
[CODE]...
Looks good, but I am having a problem calling it from the main project. Here is what I have tried using...
Dim objcboBox As New ClasscboBox
objcboBox.OnKeyPress(KeyPressEventArgs)
However, it says thatKeyPressEventArgs is a Type and cannot be used as an Expression. I tried 'e' but no go. I am a little ahead of my classes (no pun intended) so I am likely missing something about what I am doing wrong.
I have three comboboxes so I though this would best suit my needs in the interests of writting decent code and not populating each call with repeating code.
At the moment I am trying to generate buttons, where the mouse position is.I have a timer which gets the mouse position as 2 string variables:[code]what I want to know is how do I access each separate button, I mean if I went nodebtn.hide() then all of the buttons will disappear. However I would like to select a button to chose from the present.
View 2 RepliesVisual Basic Project - Student Check In Form using an Access database backend This form needs to draw information from an Access database containg tables for STUDENT, INSTRUCTOR, and SECTION. These all need to have primary keys and ids. When (the user) clicks on the drop down box that displays all the sections:
{Table Tennis 1, Table Tennis 2, Table Tennis 3, Billiards 1, Billiards 2, Billiards 3}This should populate the listbox or datagrid from the STUDENT table with the Students that have the same SECTIONID as the SECTION selected in the drop down menu above.
After the Student list has been populated (the user) clicks on a student name in the listbox/datagrid and this inserts that student into the CHECKEDIN table that has a datagrid/listbox associated with it.
This is a great project to practice connecting a database to Visual Studio 2008 .net and playing with the data that has been pulled in. You could use SQL instead of Access.
I am instantiating a form object in my code behind the dataset just to access some form level variables and to occasionally set a label in the navigator bar. Recently in the b2 Team version of VS2010 there are some strange errors thrown in the immediate window and then I'm tossed out of debug mode and back into the IDE. This code has been operating for some time in this project without this behavior. A team member has just reproduced the behavior in his development machine also.The error that starts the shutdown of the debug instance is this: Control accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.

How do i load the Main form of a WPF so that a seperate thread goes and gets data from the database while the form is in an apartmentstate? (drag-able / movable) I Know this is possible with opening a new window from your main form like this :
Private Sub openOrderWindow()
Dim OrderWindow As Orders = New Orders
OrderWindow.ShowDialog()
End Sub
[code]....
I've tried putting MyBase.ShowDialog() and .Show() and .9000+ other things The only benefit I've got out of using a seperate thread to load from the databse is i can see the screen right away (as oppose to it being a transparent box until it loads) but i cannot move it around or minimize it?is there any way to make it Movable while it loads?
I've got a simple tool written in VB in VS 2010 that has a series of command buttons which run Windows command files and the output is sent to a Rich textbox object on the main form (the comand files take awhile to run so I wanted the output to show up in the RTB as it was produced to show progress). All worked well until I made an update to the tool so that the series of buttons are no longer hard-coded, but created dynamically from information in the app.config file. To do this, I use a button

Can we write all the control events in a seperate class file in different layer rather than in code-behind of web-page ?
