I recently have convert my project from VB6 to VB.NET2008,after the convert here is a sub that control form from a module that i create,the error was something like
"cmdAdd is not a member of System.Windows.Forms.Form"
Public Sub ButtonSet(ByRef frmObj As System.Windows.Forms.Form)
frmObj.cmdAdd.Visible = True
frmObj.cmdCopy.Visible = True
frmObj.cmdEdit.Visible = True
[Code]...
I simply cannot refer to a control on a form from module code as in all other versions of VB. Here is the code that I mean:[code]The fact that this cannot seemingly be done without getting into looping through an array of controls, assigning the control to a general control variable etc. and much more guff is puzzling and is in my opinion an added complexity to Visual Basic. There must be a simple way to do this - I just want to refer to the value in a control, on a form, from a module.
View 13 RepliesI have a single form application with two modules. The first module holds all the Sub procedures that provide the filtering functionality for 3 DataGridViews on the form. The second module holds the Predicate of T functions that actually filter the List(Of T) objects that are bound to the DataGridView controls.
I split them into modules since I was starting to have difficulty organising and finding the procedures and functions if I held them all in the form code.In some cases I can happily both Get and Set form control properties from within the modules. In one case I simply can't, I suspect I may yet find some more instances as I test further. The offending line is in one of the Predicate of T functions:
If tWord.Length <= Investigator.NumericUpDown.Value Then Investigator is the Class name of the form.
I suspect my problem might be that the Predicate of T functions (which are collated in a module) are called from the DoWork procedure of a BackgroundWorker that is a component of the form - hence the DoWork procedure is in the form code, but I'm not certain. The same code worked fine when everything was all in the form code. The error reported when adding a watch to the Value property in the module function is "
'Value' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level ". I have tried the following to no avail:
1) Setting the NumerciUpDown modifier to Public
2) Adding a Public ReadOnly Property to the form class that simply returns the Value propety of the NumericUpDown
3) Adding Imports Root Namespace.Investigator to the module
I am considering adding a Public Shared variable to hold the curent value of the NumericUpDown and referencing that from the Predicate of T function.I realise, and have read many times, that accessing form control properties from module functions is generally not seen as a smart thing to be doing, but since I am not trying to chnage anything, I simply want to know what the current value is I decided that I wasn't too worried.
I'm trying to use it in writing VB.NET Windows Form code.So I'm thinking, instead of using a VB.NET module, or having code embedded in the forms, I should create my own "Control" Class, to handle all operations and "application" level variables.Is this the right approach?Ex:
Private Sub frmLogin_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
goControl = New MyControlClass()
goControl.sUserID = txtUser.text[code]....
I have a MS Access database set up, with a Period field that has either values 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. I retrieve these values using a database connection and I would like to reference a particular control based on what period was grabbed from the database.
Here's example code, pseudo of course.
TextBox(dr(3)).Text = dr(0)
dr(3) contains the period, and dr(0) contains the content I would like to put into the text box. I have these text boxes on my form: TextBox1, TextBox2, TextBox3, TextBox4 and TextBox5.So if dr(3) contained 2 then I would want to reference TextBox2.
i am currently building a MDI application. Both my Add and Edit screen use a form called frmStaffDetails.
On load, this form is redefined as 'AddStaffChild' and 'EditStaffChild' dependant on which menu item is selected. I've defined the CurrentForm as Form.ActiveForm.ActiveMdiChild.
Within a module I am checking the text within certain textboxes. So for example here I am checking a name has been inputted. If it has, then I will allow the record to be saved.
[Code]...
The problem I am having is that this code works perfectly if the textbox control is not within a Tab Control. As soon as I put it in a tab page I get the error.
"Referenced object item has a value of Nothing" Also if I reference it directly for example
If Not AddStaffChildForm.txtFirstName.Text this works fine too, but i want it to be more genric so I can use it for my edit screen as well. How can I define a control within a Tab Control from a module (or any other way to declare a public sub).
I'm building a apps that which allow to check the room availability for a hostel.I am looking some controls which is similiar to the following which allowed me to change the color of the box during runtime.
View 10 RepliesI'm trying to figure out the best way to reference a control on a form from within a module. Unfortunately the form is just an instance, so it's not as easy as calling form.control...
Dim ChildForm As New frmSearch
' Make it a child of this MDI form before showing it. '
ChildForm.MdiParent = Me
ChildForm.Show()
That form has an option for printing, which calls another form where certain options are chosen. The print form in turn calls a function in a module, which tries to reference back to the origional form.
childform as new frmSearch -> frmPrintForm -> sub okToPrint (in module Print)
okToPrint tries to reference a listview on frmSearch, but can't find it.
For Each itmX In frmSearch.lstResults.Items
So the solutions I can think of off the top of my head are:
1. Somehow divine which form is the caller of frmPrintForm
2. Pass ChildForm to the frmPrintForm as a variable to be passed on to module Print..
3. Use frmSearch directly instead of using an instance of it.
Number 1 would be my preference, as I don't want to have to pass forms around like that.
I have a dynamically created CheckBoxList in a DotNetNuke module I'm building. When DNN creates the page, it prepends the control name with the moduleID and moduleName.
So, when I have "AddLicenseCheckBoxList" on the page, it becomes:
"dnn_ctr949_addRateGroup_AddLicenseCheckBoxList" depending on what the ModuleID and page name is (in this instance it's 949 and addRateGroup respectively). Now, I don't know what the name of the page or moduleID will be when this module is finished, so I need to make sure I am accessing the control my whateer name DNN gives it, and getElementById or getElementByName do not work even when using '<%= %>'.
So what I need to do is use Javascript or some VB to retrieve the checked values of the dynamically created CheckBoxList so that I can run an update on the database with those selected values. [code]...

These subs and functions are typically called from a form, e.g. by pressing a button. The command is then sent to a device attached to the serial port, and this device replies with a number of bytes as a result.

I have a main form (frmPos) and through a module (modTransaction) I open and close several other forms. This works flawlessly. However, when the function on the module is finalized, I want to clear the main (open) form. Therefore, I made a public sub (clearForm) on the main form and when I call this from the main form it works.

Well from the module, there's a part where I have to update controls on the form1. Whenever I try doing it, it updates the value, but not the design. For example I write a delegate which makes label1.text = "111", while debugging, label1.text becomes 111, but it does not show it updated on the form design, it just stays at its default value.
