I am using a TextBox for DoDrop right now but I noticed AllowDrop for Form1 my question is how would I need to go about doing away with the TextBox and just use Form1 drop to assign a file path?
View 15 RepliesBin working on this for like 2 hours now and still don't get it proper to work.
I think its a small thing but I can't see it.
I got a project with 2 forms. Form1 is a register me form, so it shows a form with lets say a OK button. if you click the OK button it writes the figure lets say 989 in the register.
After that is done it opens Form2 and you can do your thing.
That part works.
after you click OK it shows form2 and hides form1.
[Code]....
I know that
Public Incognito As Boolean
is a variable called "Incognito" that is class-wide that is a boolean.My question is that is there a form-wide variable form that can like communicate with different forms. So if a variable in form1 is "True" than, how can you make a variable in form2 turns to "True" too?

Using VB 2008:Situation: A Form1.BackgroundWorker calls a Form1.subroutine. That sub starts a Form1.Timer with Me.tmrOK_BlinkForm.Enabled = True...fires Timer code in event: Public Shared Sub tmrOK_BlinkForm_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tmrOK_BlinkForm.Tick
Form3.Visible = True
Form3.Label1.Text = gNowButtonDispText
Form3.BackColor = Color.White
Form3.Refresh()
[Code]...
There must be a way to do this, I just need the correct BackgroundWorker Syntax send Stop commad to Form1.Timer from Form3.Click_event...all inside a Form1.BackgroundWorker thread started in Form1.

View 1 RepliesI need to be able to start with Form1, move to LoginForm, then back to Form1 taking 2 variables and the "values" they have in the LoginForm back to Form1 and using the variables. I start with the main form (Form1) and have the user enter some information. Once they click OK I have the LoginForm open. After they enter their credentials I will check to make sure they are legal users, then go back to Form1 (here is where I need to take the Username and Password with me) to log onto a server using the same credentails from the login form.

View 7 RepliesI have 2 forms. In form1 i have a textbox called TextBox1 In Form2 i have another textbox called TextBox2.

I want to capture Form1 window, not what is on top (what I actually see).
Dim screenshot As System.Drawing.Bitmap
Dim graph As Graphics

It captures what is on top, for example: I have firefox on top, so in myPic.bmp will by firefox, not Form1 window. So, how can I do that when some programs are on top, it captured Form1 window?

View 7 RepliesI may have corrupted my Visual Studio Software. I have two problems which may be related. The first is when I open anew project, I can't change the name of the form. I enter frmXXXX and it returns a splash box indicating I may loose my programming. If I continue the program gives me an unusable form. This happens when I have not even begun to use the form. My Visual Studio is set up to work with Visual Basic only.
Secondly, when I try to incorporate events, I can not get them to function. Using the basic form set as Form1, the Load event will work, but it enters as "Private sub Form1_Load ........ Handles MyBase.Load not Me.Load. When I try to use the events: KeyPress. KeyDown Or KeyUp, I can't get them to function. They also are entered as ........ MyBase.KeyPress. To enter an event I go to the Properties Menu, and use the event enry, click on the function, then double click the function. The sub-routine is loaded into the program, but doesn't function. I am learning by using a text book that the same programming works in a demo which was downloaded.
I wanted to create my own type that acts like the Boolean type, except I wanted to use Yes and No instead of True and False.I kind of got close but it wasnt exactly what i was going for here's what i have:
[code]...
so i have to use an integer when i dim it like:dim b as MyBool = 1 then when you look at it in the watch window b = {Yes} so i could settle for that, but with a boolean you can do this:dim b as Boolean without setting it to anything it defaults to False mine however, is Nothing. 2 things: 1. How can i get mine to default to No 2. How can i make it work like this: dim b as MyBool = Yes instead of having to use the integer this is not a requirement for anything I just wanted to know how to do it
This is probably a basic question, but I have never used this syntax before. Can someone tell me in detail how this expression evaluates to true? [Assuming IsOdd is a boolean type].
Dim i As Integer = 3
IsOdd = (i And 1) = 1
Well i meant In Form1 theres an object named NUM in which i have Stored Few values Now i want to use this Object NUM in form2 so that i can display its value in Form2.. ima unable to access it in form2.

View 1 RepliesMy program has two forms. Let's call one Form1 and the other Settings. It's possible that Settings may be opened before Form1. Settings may also change some settings that need to be updated immediately on Form1. The thing is, if Form1 hasn't been opened yet, certain elements haven't been fully initialized (even tho Form1's properties can be modified since I do create an instance of the form on program load). Since these elements haven't been initialized, if Settings tries to modify them, it crashes the program.
Are there any ideas how, maybe to keep Settings from modifying stuff on a form that hasn't been loaded yet for the first time.
I have a class called class1, in that class i wan;t to write something in a textbox in form1, but it won't let me access Form1.TextBox1.text, another problem is that it won't give me the save dialog in excel, but thats another problem.How can i acces Form1 controls?
Form1 code
Public Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Call ThisDrawing.GetFilepath(True)
If Me.TextBox1.Text = "" Or Me.TextBox1.Text = "False" Then MsgBox("Er is geen geldige filenaam opgegeven")
End Sub

View 5 RepliesIn my application I am using some sort of 'FirstRun Wizard' to make basic settings such as data path, theme settings and other adjustments before the application starts for the first time. I am using the following at Application Start to accomplish that:
If My.Settings.FirstStart = "1" Then
dlg_FirstRun.ShowDialog()
Me.Hide() 'Form1 - my main form
End If
Now, my "FirstRun" dialog has a Cancel Button and I want the application to exit entirely if that button is pressed. At first I used Application.Exit() but it looked a bit strange because my Form1 gets shown for a fraction of a second before the application closes. With Form1.Close() I can do the same thing and the advantage is that my form does not show up at all. However, I wonder if this is a save way of doing it?
this looks like to the forum I need. I have a question on somethings. My data is pulled from a local SQL sever express. First, Form1(Customer) has has data. his customer has a vehicle in another form this form is called (Vehicle) form.I have created the customer form in a detailed form and the vehicle form on a grid design.
View 1 RepliesI have been converting my VB6 programmes to VB 2008, and I am beginning to regret it.According to the books that I am reading on the subject, I can call a second form from the first one. That is, when the first form code has completed, and the final line reads:
frmForm2.Show()
the second form should open and wait for input.This does not happen, the form flashes and then disappears without allowing any input, or button click.I must admit that I preferred being able to start from a module, with a Main() sub, which then read the forms, a la VB6. everything seemed to work fine then.
I made 2 form.
In form1 I have this:
form2.show()
form2 ends up behind form1, how can I make form2 appear in front of form1?
Form2.showdialog() will make form1 disappear until form2 is closed, that is not what I want.
