Determine What Type Of Object Is The Sender Of An Event?
Nov 25, 2011
Heres my sub:
Dim onThisTable as String ="Name"
Private Sub skill_mouseHover(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button1.MouseHover, button2.MouseHover, panel1.MouseHover, panel2.MouseHover, pbox1.MouseHover
[Code]....
Now I wish to give onThisTable a different value depending what the user pass over (panel or a pbox or a button) but I cant find what is the correct way to compare what type it is ...
Private Sub skill_mouseHover(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button1.MouseHover, button2.MouseHover, panel1.MouseHover, panel2.MouseHover, pbox1.MouseHover
(me = an absolute beginner in WPF / VB2010) how to get the type of sender in (ByVal sender As Object)? Purpose: when two different Objects call the same subroutine, find out which one actually called it.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Button1.Click sayHello(sender) End Sub
Is it possible to have a sub that is triggered when any control of a specified type is clicked (or some other interaction), and then within the code of that sub, determine the sender and depending on the sender perform an action?For example, you create buttons dynamically, and assign them a name based on a counter that tells the number of buttons on the form. Now you click on a button, but there was no code written for 'button123.mouseclick' specifically. Instead, you get the name of the sender (button123) and you do something specific to that button.[code]
When I write public events for my business objects, I've adapted the habit of always passing the instance as "sender as Object", in addition to additional specific parameters. I just asked myself now why am I not specifying the class?
So for you with more experience; Do you ever pass the distinct class as sender in an event? And if so, what are your decision criteria for when this is ok/not ok?
following code from c# to visual basic, and I'm coming up with the following error: 'Public Event ItemCheck(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemCheckEventArgs)' as an event, and cannot be called directly. Use a 'RaiseEvent' statement to raise an event.
I am still developing this function, but here is what I am intending it to do. This function will accept an Object, then try to determine its type. There are a specific set of types I am looking for: Integer, Boolean, Date, String. What I have so far is pretty privative, but it seems to be working so far:
Private Function DataType(ByVal entry As Object) As ValueType Try If IsNumeric(entry) Then
I can't figure out how to determine the type of an object in a collection. I want to do a For Each ... Next loop over the items in the DropDownItems collection of a ToolStripMenuItem. For those items that are ToolStripMenuItems themselves I want to take some kind of action. (The collection can contain other types of items, such as ToolStripSeparators). So I need to say something like: If Typeof(item) = ToolStripMenuItem Then .
I am using VB .Net for this, so I don't have access to var or this would be a simple matter.Right now my query is as follows
[code]...
So I used this query in LinqPad to help me determine what the object would look like. I got back a IOrderQueryable(Of RSError) which then contained a IGrouping(Of String, RSError) for each grouped collection of objects returned by the query.However I ended up with the current object type of errors as IOrderedQueryable(Of IGrouping(Of String, RSError)) because of the cast error I am getting in VS.
[code]...
I'm not sure how to get rid of the VB$AnonymousType_1 Part of the returned object.Am I even on the right track here or am I missing something completely?
Say I have a button that creates more buttons with a random .Text property, and placed them on the form in different locations. And since these buttons are being created at runtime, I want to be able to have an event handler for all button controls on the form that makes the form's text the same as the sender's text.
I fully realize that what I am proposing does not follow the .NET guidelines, and, therefore, is probably a poor idea for this reason alone. However, I would like to consider this from two possible perspectives:
(1) Should I consider using this for my own development work, which is 100% for internal purposes.
(2) Is this a concept that the framework designers could consider changing or updating?
I am thinking about using an event signature that utilizes a strong typed 'sender', instead of typing it as 'object', which is the current .NET design pattern. That is, instead of using a standard event signature that looks like this:
I'm trying to convert the C# code from this webpage to VB.Everything seems to have converted pretty much fine using an online converter tool, but then I reach the following line:
The fadeOutAnimation.Completed event produces an event with the signature (sender, args), and d, hostGrid and grid are variables local to the function containing this mysterious event handler assignment.
I think I can see that the instruction on this C# line is telling the code to execute the OnFadeOutAnimationCompleted function, using d, hostgrid and grid as parameters, when fadeoutAnimation.Completed occurs, but I have no idea what to even search for in order to replicate this behaviour in VB.net.
I have a list of objects, each with several events. I can add an eventhandler to each object, so I can catch each item's events. But I would also like to know the sender's index in the list (ie, was this object the 3rd, 5th, etc, item in the list?) I'm guessing the object doesn't "know" its position.I could give each object an index number property when it is created and added to the list, so that information could be passed. However, I would have to reindex every item everytime I use remove, insert, etc, methods.
I have a little VB 2005 Express app that acts as a gui for an application that normally runs in a cli (cmd-like) window, as follows: Code:Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim Server_Exe As String = "C:Documents and SettingsColinDesktopin 7302OpenSim.Grid.UserServer.exe"
[Code]...
1. The cmd window normally shows various status messages in colour, whereas the RichTextBox shows all messages in Black (on a white background). How can I get the RichTextBox to show the messages in the same colours that the cmd window displays?
2. As the RichTextBox fills with data, filling the box, and beyond, and the scrollbar starts to shrink, I notice that the data at the top of the RichTextBox stays there, and you would have to scroll down to see the last status message, whereas I would like it to do the reverse, i.e the last status message is at the bottom of the visible RichTextBox, and if I wanted to see the earlier messages I would have to scroll up. How can this be achieved?
Private Sub FontToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles FontToolStripMenuItem.Click Or Button1.Click
it just gives me zero for my anwser.Can someone please make corrections?Public Class Form1 Private Sub xExitButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles xExitButton.Click
When you type sender. IntelliSense lists 5 methods and yet if you type sender.Left or sender.top these will work. Why don't these properties show up as available for use via IntelliSense.
Why isn't this seemingly simple piece of code working?
Code: Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load For Each sp As String In My.Computer.Ports.SerialPortNames ListBox1.Items.Add(sp) Next End Sub
I'm deserializing an object and in certain cases it works fine, however in others it fails. The exception is essentially meaningless to me, but there has to be a way to figure out where exactly it failed so i redirect my debugging.
Unable to cast object of type 'DynamicTreeNode' to type 'DynamicTreeNode'.
I have an inherited TreeView with an inherited class called DynamicTreeNode inside it. I am trying to loop through the DynamicTreeNodes in the TreeView.Nodes property which is causing this error.
I've got a piece of code in a project (MyProject) that contains early bound object from a referenced assembly (We'll call it CommonAssembly):
Dim myObject As CommonAssembly.MyEarlyBoundType
now I have another assembly that is dynamically loaded because it is not present in all projects:
Dim myLateBoundObject As Object = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap("Utils", "Utils.MyLateBoundType") MyLateBoundType derives from CommonAssembly.MyEarlyBoundType, and I want to cast myObject to myLateBoundObject and then programmatically invoke the additional
Public Shared Function IsType(ctrl As Control, ByVal thisType As ??????) As Boolean Return (TypeOf ctrl Is thisType) I need a function that I can call, for example, to determine if a control is type RichTextbox.dim z as Boolean= IsType(txtBox1, RichTextBox) I ned to determine if a control is a given type (i.e., not always RichTextBox). I don't know what Type to make thisType. Can this be done?Actually I simpified the problem but if the above is answered I can write the function
