Switch Between Different Forms?

Sep 27, 2011

I always get an exception when I try to switch between different forms in my program. Here is the exception message:

Control.Invoke must be used to interact with controls created on a separate thread

I have attached the forms to very nice variables and this problem occurs when I try to use command like MyForm.Show().

It does not happen when the forms are not attached to variables, but then I have collosal problems with refreshing the textboxes and stuff.

edit;

I have 4 different forms. When I load the main module and main form, in the Sub (...) Handles MyBase.Load I execute the following code:

In module:

Public StartupForm As frmStartup
Public RegularForm As frmRegularUse
Public LoginForm As frmLogin

[Code]....

This is the aproach I worked out to get the full control over refreshing the forms. It is a program for Motorola Scanner with Windows CE. Now, for example, when I enter the correct password in LoginForm, I want to switch to the RegularForm. When I try to use RegularForm.Show() or RegularForm.ShowDialog or RegularForm.BringToFront(), I get an exception. When I try to call the form with the frmRegularUse.Show() I can call the form, but it is being created in a different thread, I believe, so I loose control over it (when I try to put something from the keyboard, there is no response).

How To Switch Forms

Apr 28, 2010

I am using Visual Studio 2010. I have a Splash Screen which starts first (Everything is running smoothly there). Then it Opens Dialog1. My user is required to check 5 boxes (2,3,4,5,6) (1 has been deleted). I used this Code :

If
CheckBox2.Checked
And
CheckBox3.Checked And

[code].....

I've been experimenting for an 1 hour. The code didn't show errors. I tested it and it didn't work. Then I found out that I was working on Dialog 2 in Dialog 1 code. So I tried another thing and that didn't work because I can't put Dialog2 code in Dialog1 code.

Forms :: Switch Languages In VB And Strings

Sep 1, 2010

I've seen quite a few posts regarding changing cultures, localize cultures, etc... but I couldn't care less about all that auto-stuff.I'm developing this GUI to connect with one of our production machines that will be used by the ppl who will be servicing the machines. Which might well be anywhere around Europe and soon enough Japan and US. Therefore, it was asked already to have language options, cause the guy servicing is likely to be a local.

As I said, auto-stuff doesn't bother me, all I want is the option to go to File -> Preferences and change a drop-down box to whatever language the person fancy and put a My.Settings.Save() I'm planning to create a few simple xml files called "en", "fr", "sp", etc which will be something like: <Frm_Main.Label1>Text of the label</Frm_Main.Label1> The actual problem is: I know the coded strings will have to be manually set, but: Is there a way to cycle through all the UI items (labels, toolstripmenu, buttons, group boxes) to set those .text ?? I'm trying stuff like

Switch Between Forms Without Opening A New Window?

Jan 16, 2012

I might be going about this the wrong way, but I'm trying to create a form that will include a single button, for instance "Enter". When "Enter" is clicked, I want the form to then display the contents of form 2, which might include more buttons and/or a textbox, etc. I want to do all this without ever opening or closing a form.

VS 2008 Best And / Or Fastest Way To Switch Between Forms

Jul 2, 2009

In my project I have 3 different forms. They all have the same design layout so the only different you see is where the text boxes and buttons are placed. Right now I have 3 buttons at the top of each form that Im using to switch between the forms

[Code]...

I know there is probably a much better way of doing this, and faster. I dont' like the delay between each window showing/hiding. what options do I have to make this run better? Since I have the same design background is there I way I can just hide and show just the controls instead of showing/hiding the entire window?

Visual Studio - Switch Between Forms In Same Form

Aug 16, 2011

I am trying to make a UI that has a few forms / panels, each for a different "Tab" in the program.

I am guessing that the way to do this is using panels and code like:

Panel1.Visible = False
Panel2.Visible = False
Panel3.Visible = False
Panel4.Visible = True

Would I be correct in assuming that this is the best way to go? (I don't want lots of popup forms in the program, looking for the most streamlined way to go).

Also, if this is the correct way to go how would I go about hiding each panel in the IDE so that I can work on each one seperately using the designer view?

Here is the best example application I can think to use: [URL] Each of the tabs (Proxies, Harvester etc) has an image as the tab (Which I can't find an option to do with TabControl and then displays the container / panel below it

Switch From ADO To ADO.NET - Regards To Data Access When It Comes To Windows Forms Applications

Jul 21, 2009

I have some friends who are 'old-school' VB6 database developers and I was telling them about .NET and its features, specifically ADO.NET. In our conversation, they brought up the following reasons why they would rather stick with ADO than move to ADO.NET: The Dataset is disconnected (What if power fails?)

The same amount of code still has to be written The new options of Dataset, BindingSource and TableAdapter seem confusing the same code is written programatically access the Database, all that changes is how that command is laid out. Why ADO.NET is 'better' than ADO with regards to data access when it comes to Windows Forms applications. What does ADO.NET provide that ADO does not? What does it do better than ADO? I'd like examples that do not involve LINQ.

How To Switch Machines

May 28, 2012

I have two machines, on the first of which I have developed my application to a point of satisfactory stability. Now I want to move everything to my second machine.Both computers have the same level of XP and NET Framework code, and both have Visual Studio 2010 at the same level.I copied my application's project folder onto the second machine, but the second machine's VS 10 can't load the project because it can't find a couple of Interop files (e.g., AxMSComCtl2). All of files are present in the project folder and also in its.bin subfolder. The only observable difference between the two machines is the presence, on the first machine, of some Assemblies stored under my user name there. Copying the Assemblies to the second machine didn't help (I hadn't thought it would).Is my application permanently "imprinted" on my first computer, or is there a simple way of resusitating its clone?

C# - Switch Between Two Apps Seamlessly?

Jan 17, 2012

I have a .NET application that was written in C# and VB.NET using WinForms. We want to slowly migrate this to something new, in many iterations. The new code will be entirely C# and WPF. We would like to utilize Prism.

As far as I know, we can't integrate the old WinForm app in Prism.

I am considering making my old app show the new app in certain instances. For example, when you press a tab in the old app, the new app opens on top of the old app, with the same tabs. Over time, only the new app would be necessary.

Switch Between DataGridViewTextBoxCell And DataGridViewComboBoxCell?

Nov 18, 2009

I want to have a DataGridView that has two columns.The first column will always be of type DataGridViewComboBoxColumn. Based on the selection in that column, I'd like to be able to change the corresponding cell in the second column to either a DataGridViewComboBoxCell or a DataGridViewTextBoxCell.I'm thinking I just need to make the second column of type DataGridViewColumn, but don't understand the mechanics of how to change the cell type on the fly.I'm working with VB.NET in Visual Studio 2005.

Update: One way around it, I suppose, is to make the second column as a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn, and change the attributes of the cell so that it either behaves like a drop-down list, or as an (editable) drop-down with no elements. The latter looks enough like a text box that I could live with it, and it wouldn't involve changing the type of the cell.
