Create A Class In Code That Contains Forms?
Mar 18, 2012
To me the answer to this question will be stupidly simple, but I cannot find it. I want to generate child forms to do simple tasks from my main form. I want to be able to create and destroy these child forms as I use the main form. I decided to create a class of the child form, with its own constructors and destructor. When I tried to do this using the Class Library Module, I could not access the Windows.Forms class to create a form.

If I have a large number of classes, each similar to the other in certain aspects (they all share a common base class, but each does things differently), and I need to create Windows forms for each to allow easy changing of their values through a GUI? Create one matching form for each object in VS' forms designer, Or Use code to create the forms dynamically at runtime.
#2 makes the most sense to me, because a lot of these objects will share very common features of the form, notably "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons. But one object might need to draw a textbox on the form while another might need to draw a combobox. Not to mention, if I want to put icons on the "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons, I'd have to do this for each copy of the form in designer, and that sounds like it could get out of hand quickly.But is drawing forms through code sane? VS' forms designer is pretty sophisticated and designed to make life easier. Am I wise to consider ignoring its functionality and diving into the trench warfare of forms design through code? Or are there examples of automating form creation based on an existing object's properties?

I am having trouble with this project I am working on. I am a beginner to vb and have some background in access databases. I will attach my am doing an inventory project. When you execute the form, a main form pops up that allows you to choose Production or Inventory. My issue is with the Production. In the production form that pops up after clicking Production, there are text boxes to be filled out by the user based on the production run.plementing a class that will give the box count based on the box type entered. I have to use a class based on the project requirements.
Basically to calculate the usage, enter in a random number for Pods Produced, then enter in a box type (which is A box, B box, C box, D box, Master Case). I want the Public Class Box Count in the code to be able to be placed in the production form's main class code and calculate the box count based on the box type entered. If A box, box count should be 50. If B Box, box count should be 100, If any other box is typed in, the box count should be 150

I want to create a Class Library that has forms to that the users can perform some functionality. Is that possible in VS 2008? I believe it is, but can't find any examples out their to provide a template or a guide to create mine. What I am trying to do is put common functionality in a class library to multiple applications that I create can access this class library to perform some functionality.

I recently started working with Vb.net and I am just trying to create a class that has two properties one is StoreName and the other is StoreImage. What I am trying to do is figure out how to create objects using this class? Each object will be a Store that has a corresponding Name and Image to go with it. Here is the code I have written so far although I am not sure if im headed in the write direction with the function. Also not sure if it matters but I am using ASP with VB?
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Public Class Store
Dim NameofStore As String
Dim ImageofStore As Image

How can I create picture boxes using code? The application that I am making, the amount of picture boxes needed for a certain thing is not known, and is always changing (and im planing to put them into a picture box array). Also, how can I set the new picture box (assuming that its possible with code) to have the same properties/size etc as another picturebox? Is it possible for me to set a "mold" or something?

I have created a class (pasted below in case I did something wrong) for which I want to create an instance that is usable across forms/modules. I can create an instance of the class in a single form/module no problem via DIM User as New User but how do I go about create a public instance accessible from all parts of my program?

How do I inherit?

I've been creating short test apps repeatedly to try to understand some of the concepts in VB.NET.For the most part it has been illuminating.I read Bucky's .NET knowlegebase tutorial on passing objects as parameters to newly created forms. He shows how to create a new class that inherits from the base form class and define a New() method with parameters Extending the concept I thought about doing the same thing with a form that was created at design-time (In this case Form2).

I have a very simple class that is located within my App_Code folder in my VS2008 web application project. I am trying to instantiate an instance of this class from my code-behind file. Intellisense does not seem to be seeing my class and I am not sure why. I am using VB.NET which I am admittedly not that familiar with as compared to C#. Perhaps I am missing something. I would bet it has something to do with something I am missing in VB.NET.Here is my simple class (for testing):

I want to create a class that will "search" for something. Basically I load up the "search item" when the class is created and inside the class is logic to do the "search". The result of this logic will be more "searches" that I want to start. How can I have the logic in the class create another instance of the class itself?

I recently found this code (provided for third party use on another VB site), however,ll of my attempts to insert it into a class library have failed.I open a new class library and past the code in, and immediately get several errors pertaining to how certain objects can't be found. I find it it is crucial to use this code, unless someone can suggest to me another example of existing code that will do the same thing: make a restricted textbox who imputs can be restricted, that can handle pasting, shortcuts, text property setting, and script-entered text.
Option Strict On
Imports System.ComponentModel

I've been working on a project the last couple of day with the help of a lot of you out there. I've more or less finished the design of the interfase, but there are stange this happening with the form. I can say much about what is wrong because I dont understand it, but I would like to. I have added the form Class code and the Designer Code, is that enough or is more required? Theres a msgbox that popup in the form Load event which I placed there to see what I could learn about the GraphicsBuffer.

I'm in the process of trying to create a class that will allow me to create windows shortcut; Im using the following PDF file that gives me the shortcut file structure.
Ive been able to successfully load a shortcut file and parse its Lnk File Structure but now Im on the Shell Item ID List structure but I cannot find the Structure of the ITEMIDLIST anywhere
Furthermore I know I could use the Windows script object, but this is a dependency Im trying to avoid if I can, hence writing my own Shortcut class.

I've designed my own encryption application in VB 2008 that has a free tools section where users can choose a particular wizard to use from the drop down. The javascript wizards display the code required to put in their own sites. I already created wizards that users can well, use.I see people have their own "contact form wizards" on their websites all the time. Where users can use the wizard and get the displayed code to copy and paste on their sites. But trying to locate source codes to these things is very aggravating on the web.So what I want to do is create my own "form wizard" like out of javascript, that allows the user to put in some information then get the displayed code to put in their own websites. I'm not looking for the generator such as the online form generators.But the javascript source code(s) for the generator itself.Then I could simply put a form generator inside of my VB-app, that will allow the user to use the wizard, then get the html code to paste in their own sites. Preferably not the PHP one because the php backend is very difficult to put in a VB app.I know that it can be done. For example copying a web pages source code then putting it inside a string, then calling that string from a button click that will open the javascript page in the webbrowser inside the VB app.
