vb 2012 module (F as Form) - vb.net

my module code is
Module print
Sub Pad (F as form)
F.Textbox1.text = "testing"
End sub
End module
is there a way to use the "print.pad" to my 3 form (FrmNew,FrmOld,FrmAdmin) like this
Public Class FrmNew
Private Sub FrmNew_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Print.Pad(Me)
End Sub
End Class
Because in VBA it work.
VBA MODULE code (Module name Printt)
Sub Pad(f As Form)
f.Text0 = "testing"
End Sub
VBA FORM Code (Form name Form1)
Private Sub Form_Load()
Call Printt.Pad(Form_Form1)
End Sub
or any way around to do it. tnx in advance...

Module print
Public Sub Pad (ByVal txtControl As TextBox)
txtControl.Text = "testing"
End sub
End module
and call like
Public Class FrmNew
Private Sub FrmNew_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Print.Pad(textbox1)
End Sub
End Class
here textbox1 is the control in your FrmNew,In this you want show textbox1.text = "testing"

Switching forms in vb.net

I am a volunteer for the National Park Service trying to convert an interactive display originally created 20 years ago in a language called ToolBook into Visual Basic. The program consists of several projects under a single solution. The starting project, called "MainMenu", can be thought of as a library, with buttons that bring up “books.” The project called Geology is an example “book” and GeologyMenu can be thought of as the index of a book. The buttons on GeologyMenu connect to “chapters” that explain and show examples of geologic processes in the park. The “chapters” are within the project “Geology” and work fine within the project. All forms used in the program have timers that allow the program to re-set itself to MainMenu when not in use.
In a previous post, with the help of Idle Mind (thank you again), the following code for works fine for going from MainMenu to GeologyMenu and in the reverse direction as long as no button is pushed on GeologyMenu. However, if I go to a “chapter” I can no longer get back to the MainMenu from the GeologyMenu. Here is the relevant code:
MainMenu
Public Class frmMainMenu
Private Sub BtnGeology_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnGeology.Click
Dim formNew As New Geology.frmGeologyMenu
AddHandler formNew.FormClosed, AddressOf formNew_FormClosed
TimerMain.Stop()
formNew.Show()
Me.Hide()
End Sub
Private Sub formNew_FormClosed(Sender As Object, e As FormClosedEventArgs)
lblTime.Text = 8
TimerMain.Start()
Me.Show()
End Sub
GeologyMenu
Public Class frmGeologyMenu
Public Sub frmGeologyMenu_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
lblTime.Text = 6
TimerGeologyMenu.Enabled = True
Me.Show()
End Sub
Private Sub BtnErosion_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnErosion.Click
TimerGeologyMenu.Stop()
frmErosionP01.Show()
Me.Hide()
End Sub
The code below for takes the viewer to the Erosion “chapter”
Private Sub BtnErosion_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnErosion.Click
TimerGeologyMenu.Stop()
frmErosionP01.Show()
Me.Hide()
End Sub
Erosion “Chapter” . This is the code for the button on every form in Erosion that takes the program back to GeologyMenu
Public Class frmErosionP02
Private Sub BtnGeologyMenu_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnGeologyMenu.Click
My.Computer.Audio.Stop()
frmGeologyMenu.lblTime.Text = 10
frmGeologyMenu.TimerGeologyMenu.Enabled = True
frmGeologyMenu.Show()
Me.Close()
End Sub
The code for forms within Erosion takes me back to GeologyMenu, but then MainMenu won’t show when I close GeologyMenu and I don’t understand why or how to fix it. Thank you in advance for your help!
Simply, pass the previous menu/Form to the new one in a parameterized constructor and keep it in a class variable, then handle the Form.Closed event of the new menu to show the previous one.
Example for the relevant code:
Public Class frmMainMenu
Inherits Form
Private Sub BtnGeology_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnGeology.Click
Dim formNew As New frmGeologyMenu(Me)
Me.Hide()
formNew.Show()
End Sub
End Class
Public Class frmGeologyMenu
Inherits Form
Private PreviousMenu As Form
Private Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
'...
End Sub
Sub New(prevMenu As Form)
Me.New()
PreviousMenu = prevMenu
AddHandler FormClosed,
Sub(s, e)
PreviousMenu.Show()
End Sub
End Sub
Private Sub BtnErosion_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnErosion.Click
Dim frmErosion As New frmErosionP02(Me)
Me.Hide()
frmErosion.Show()
End Sub
End Class
Public Class frmErosionP02
Inherits Form
Private PreviousMenu As Form
Private Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
'...
End Sub
Public Sub New(prevMenu As Form)
Me.New()
PreviousMenu = prevMenu
AddHandler FormClosed,
Sub(s, e)
PreviousMenu.Show()
End Sub
End Sub
End Class

(vb.net) how to exit sub when I click button which is in another form?

I'm learning for vb.net step by step. I have two forms and I would like to make a code that is, when I click Button1 which is in the other form, then my main sub exit. I have already searched in google, but I didn't find anything. How can I solve that line?
Public Class Form1
Public Sub Main()
Form2.ShowDialog()
If Form2.Button1_Click = True then '**This line is what I stucked**
Exit Sub
End if
End Sub
End Class
Public Class Form2
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.Close()
End Sub
End Class
An example using DialogResult.
In Form1:
If Form2.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
' ... do something in here ...
End If
In Form2:
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK
End Sub
Note that if the user cancels the Form2 dialog without hitting the button then you'll get a result of Cancel back instead.

Thread inside module and add value into me.texbox1

Have anyone idea why my code return "" inside my Textbox ? :-)
This i have in main Class
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim My_Thread as Threading.Thread
My_Thread = New Threading.Thread(AddressOf Module1.MyTest)
My_Thread.Start()
End Sub
And this in module1
Sub MyTest()
Dim TestingValue as string = "Test"
MainForm.Textbox1.Text = TestingValue
End sub
Invoke all time crash code and another try return "" inside texbox1 :-/
Create a Sub Class with public declarations to any object you want on MainForm, then pass the class as a parameter to the module. This would be a cleaner approach than passing the entire Form class instance. Then using the method that Jimi has suggested you can setyou textboxs without cross thread violation.
Public Class MainForm
Public Class PassToModule
Public TxBx1 As TextBox = MainForm.TextBox1
Public TxBx2 As TextBox = MainForm.TextBox2
End Class
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim PassToModule As New PassToModule
Dim My_Thread As Threading.Thread
My_Thread = New Threading.Thread(AddressOf MyTest)
My_Thread.Start(PassToModule)
End Sub
End Class
Module Module1
Dim FromMainForm As MainForm.PassToModule
Sub MyTest(PasToModule As MainForm.PassToModule)
FromMainForm = PasToModule
FromMainForm.TxBx1.BeginInvoke(New MethodInvoker(Sub()
FromMainForm.TxBx1.Text = "Test"
FromMainForm.TxBx2.Text = "Test"
End Sub))
End Sub
End Module

VB.Net - Call a Sub with events

Is it possible to Call a Sub with events?
I have the following sub, and when I press a button, I will trigger a Msgbox.
Public Class SelectLevel
Public Shared Sub Button_Start_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button_Start.Click
MsgBox("Test")
End Sub
End Class
Can I Call this sub in another Class? Something along the lines of:
Public Class TestClass
Private Sub Testing
Call Button_Start_Click ' I tried this first, but it didn't work.
Call SelectLevel.Button_Start_Click ' I tried this aswell but didn't work.
End Sub
End Class
Thank you!
You need to pass the parameters too.
This should work:
Public Class TestClass
Private Sub Testing
Call SelectLevel.Button_Start_Click(Nothing, System.EventArgs.Empty)
End Sub
End Class
Your code is correct except in one place. While calling, you have to give the required parameters
Your Sub Procedure is : Public Shared Sub Button_Start_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button_Start.Click
But you're calling as :Call SelectLevel.Button_Start_Click (without any values to be sent)
Call like this:
Private Sub Testing()
SelectLevel.Button_Start_Click(Button_Start, Nothing) ' I tried this aswell but didn't work.
End Sub
This will do your work
If the event you need is only click event then there is an easy way PerformClick function
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Button1.PerformClick()
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
MsgBox("pressed")
End Sub
End Class

Editing button properties from a module

I am just starting out with Visual basic .Net.
I can't seem to figure what's the scope of button properties like button.text. Can they be used outside the button_click event sub? And if so, how?
How can I modify button properties from a module in real time when a certain condition is met?
I'd surely appreciate some guidance and an example, if possible. Thanks.
Just as quick sample, I don't suggest doing something like this
I have 2 forms open, Form2 and Form3. Each form has a button on it.
I also have a Module, called MyModule
Public Class Form2
Public Sub ChangeButtonText(ByVal s As String)
Button1.Text = s
End Sub
End Class
.
Public Module MyModule
Sub ChangeForm2Btn()
Form2.ChangeButtonText("LOL")
End Sub
End Module
From my Form3 I click the button and call the module function to change Form2 button's text
Public Class Form3
Private Sub Form3_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Form2.Show()
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
MyModule.ChangeForm2Btn()
End Sub
End Class
You could pass a reference to the button to a sub in the module, and then call that sub from the form.
i.e.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
ChangeButtonText(Me.Button1, "Changed")
End Sub
End Class
Module modButton
Public Sub ChangeButtonText(ByRef Button As Button, ByVal Text As String)
Button.Text = Text
End Sub
End Module
