How can I reference the errorprovider on another form from a module.
Sample Code:
Sub
leaveOptionalTBTextValidation(ByRef TBControl
As custTextBoxControl,
ByRef intMaxChars
[Code].....
What is the difference between ErrorProvider.Clear() and ErrorProvider.SetError(tBox,vbNullString)
Is there a preference for one or the other?
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'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 would like to ask how to clear the ErrorProvider in VB.net 2003? ErrorProvider.Clear() isn't working in vb2003. i know it's very simple
View 2 RepliesI'm having troubles with my errorprovider and i already found out what the problem is - the textbox is bounded twice (Display Member and Value have different binding sources) and so the errorprovider is showing the same error twice. If i remove one binding source,everything is fine.Any suggestions?Oh - I'm validating the columns in my DataSet.vb with DataTable_ColumnChanged Sub with table.setColumnError().Another problem ->I have a field (decimal) in my dataset that is optional (can be null). But if the user writes something in and then deletes it so that the textbox is empty, the errorprovider is showing the error "Input string was not in a correct format."
View 1 RepliesI have put my business logic in a partial class as suggested in best practices. One of the conditions is that one of four fields of a row has have a value. Setting the errorprovider has no problems when creating a new row in the new row event. All the textboxes in the form show the error condition.
Dim ErrorString As String = "A value is needed for at least one of the " & vbCrLf & "Gallon, Fuel, Oil, or Misc fields"
e.Row.SetColumnError("Gallons", ErrorString)[code]....
The logic that sets them back to a no error condition though only sets the currently focused control in the form to no error. When the error is corrected.
MyFuelRow.SetColumnError("Gallons", "")
MyFuelRow.SetColumnError("FuelCost", "")[code]....
How can you reset multiple column errors at once?
I am adding a handler on each form to validate all textboxes for empty strings.

I'm having an issue with getting the errorprovider to work in a database application where I have put the error provider logic in a partial class and have a combobox value change.Either I set the bindings so that it works but any navigation in the binding navigator then updates the value of that combobox on every next previous etc or it never fires until the save. So there is no way to change the errorprovider setcolumnerror string to something new with out saving on every navigation move. After changing the selection in the combobox the row does shows dirty (rowstatus) so there is databinding but it doesn't fire the ColumnChanged event like textbox and other controls. Is there a way to keep all this in the business logic in a partial class?

I have an ErrorProvider on a form with a DataGridView.The Binding Source for the DGV points at a single table in the DataSet (which hooks up to an underlying Access DB).The table has two columns:
1) Autoincrement PK
2) Text field, <=25 chars, unique, can't be Null or empty string
I test for string length (>0 and <=25) in the DataSet.Table.RowChanging event.If it's out of range then I use e.Row.SetColumnError, that passes the error to the ErrorProvider / DGV on the correct row and DataSet.HasErrors returns True. All good, no problems.
I test for uniqueness in the DataSet.Table.ColumnChanging event.If it's not unique I can set the error with either e.Row.SetColumnError or e.Row.RowError; Now it gets complicated since sometime this makes the ErrorProvider / DGV show the error and sometimes not, it depends on whether the DataSet keeps the Unique = True constraint of the underlying DB.
Why would I have the DataSet be False for Unique when the DB is True for same constraint? So that the user interaction with the form has the minimum of dialogue box based interuptions. I am trying to design a system whereby all issues / errors are reported
to the user as they interact with the form in a subtle way, allowing them to keep working but trapping errors before any attempt to Save from the DataSet to the DB.
So, if the DataSet keeps the unique constraint then when you insert the new (duplicate) row the DGV throws its DataError event, a default dialogue appears, behind which the DGV has the ErrorProvider icon on the correct row. However, since the DataError event
causes the problematic change to be rolled back, the new row is removed and the error disappears.
If I change the DataSet requirement to Unique = False, then SetColumnError does not cause an ErrorProvider icon to be shown and DataSet.HasErrors returns False. I can improve upon this slightly by using RowError, this causes DataSet.HasErrors to return True but the ErrorProvider icon still does not show.Further, when using Unique = True on the DataSet, and editing an existing row to be a duplicate of another, the behaviour is the same, DGV.DataError event, roll back of the change but the ErrorProvider icon remains, despite the row no longer being a duplicate and DataSet.HasErrors returns True. The text of the the ErrorProvider tooltip is the one from SetColumnError, not RowError.So, the behaviour of SetColumnError is affected by the state of the DataSet field Unique constraint?
Unique = True
SetColumnError affects the DGV / ErrorProvider and DataSet as expected.
(RowError behaviour unknown)
Unique = False

I'm using the ErrorProvider in VB.Net (2005) which is associated with a BindingSource that is bound to a custom object that I have created. This custom object contains a date field that has a "Date" data type that. I am using a "TextBox" to bind the date field in my form. My issue is, whenever the TextBox loses focus and is blank, "String not recognized as a valid DateTime" is displayed by the ErrorProvider and the focus can't be changed to any other control on the Form. It's good that the ErrorProvider validates entries on Date fields by default (I didn't set up my custom object to display this particular error for the date), but it should allow blank values. I want the user to be able to have a blank date with no error message displayed. How can this be done using a Date field bound to a TextBox?
View 2 RepliesIs there any way to turn the damned error provider off when i try to close the form using the windows close button(X). It fires the validation and the user has to fill all the fields before he can close the form..this will be a usability issue because many tend to close the form using the (X) button. i have placed a button for cancel with causes validation to false and it also fires a validation.

I have a connection module in which I have written the open and close database connection.... if database connection is an error it will return false else if success it will return true the function of the modules will be called from the form code....
what I need is if the connection is an error the module should also get the form name which returned the error...is it possible???
check my below code....

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.

I have a situation where I need to display a Modal Window from a vb.net module and feed the contents to that modal form from the module.I am showing the form , feeding data to it from a class module and trapping the events in it using a timer control from the module.It works fine with Show() method but it doesn't with ShowDialog().If I used ShowDialog() then I was not able to continue with the code followed by it and not able to update any contents in the modal form.
