Because its not proper OOP.

How you want to transfer your information is not proper either. All your transferable data should be stored in a shared class object that either Form class uses to retrieve and store the shared data. That way, neither form class has to know anything about the form.

Check out Working with Multiple Forms in Visual Basic .NET: Upgrading to .NET[^] on MSDN for examples.

Hey,

From your problem, you could use inheritence in vb.net where you can use controls from one form in another using all the code behind the controls also.

Here[^] is a good article

Can any one help me decompile a .exe file to Visual Basic .Net Project? I've tried Spice but I'm unsuccessful translating the information.

Was the .EXE your trying to decompile originaly written in C# or VB.NET? If not, don't even bother. You can't decompile just any .EXE into VB.NET or C#. It MUST be a .NET Framework targeted .EXE writen in any language that targets the .NET CLR, except Visual C++.

I would like to create one print preview of the file running of my
richtextbox.

¶.Utilisation of a printDocument1, Printpreviewdialog1
¶The two components are connected by the property document of Printviewdialog1.

¶2. I tested this code but in vain

Private Sub mnuapercu_click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) <br />
         <br />
        Dim titre As String <br />
        titre = OuvreFichier.FileName <br />
         <br />
        PrintDocument1.DocumentName = titre <br />

Send Control key signal

Hey how can I send the key signal for the control key
I've tried but I can't get it to work.
I'm using the SendKeys.Send("{}")

SendKeys won't send just a modifier key. You have to have an alphanumeric key between those braces also. The only way to send just the Ctrl key is to use SendMessage API call and post the WM_KEYDOWN and WM_KEYUP messages to the appropriate window.

Traversing an object list

Tom Archer20-Nov-04 13:15

I have objects that each have an object representing its parent (except the root). How do I traverse this in VB script?

In C++, it would be something along the lines of:

<br />
for (p = node.ParentNode; p != null; p = p->ParentNode)<br />
  Response.Write(p->Name);<br />

Cheers,
Tom Archer

If I understood you correctly the solution might look like this:

Set p = node.ParentNode
Do Until p Is Nothing
    WScript.Echo p.Name
    Set p = p.ParentNode
Loop

Thanks Dennis.

I ended up getting this to work also:

<%
	Dim horzMenu
	
	if gNodes.exists(thisUrl) then
		set node = gNodes(thisUrl)
			horzMenu = node.Name
		
		while not node.ParentNode is nothing
			set node = node.ParentNode
			horzMenu = node.Name + " :: " + horzMenu
		wend
		
		Response.Write(horzMenu)
	end if

hi,

how do I delete a url from Temporary internet files in vbscript?
I know that in the win32 internet sdk there is a function called DeleteUrlCacheEntry
but I don't know if there is an equivalent in VBscript, If I call this function in VBscript it does not work.
so what function do I use or how do I do it?

i know vbscript is not vb but there is no vbscript forum

You can't using VBScript. You must call an outside ann to do it your for. VBScript doesn't have the ability to call API functions.

Opps. I meant "app", application. You have to use WshShell.Run to run an outside .EXE, custom written to clear the cache for your script.

There's about a dozen different ways to do this. It all depends on what you want to put up as an interface to the user. The simplest way is to put up an InputBox ask the user for a path. Is this in VBScript, VB, or VB.NET?
