I'm new to VB.Net and in VB6 I could remotely populate a combo from another form using the forms name and combo name.
When I try the same thing in VB.Net the routine runs alright but the combo never gets populated.
If I run the identical routine in the target form it works perfectly. It just seems that I have problems access objects on other forms 
The syntax is correct ie
OtherFormName.ComboName.Items.Add("WhatEver")
DataGridView seems to be the biggest problem refusing to accept focus until I physically click on the darn things. I think it may be all related to the combo thing. Somehow I think each form has it's own class and I have yet to work out how to access a function belonging to the other forms class.
for example:
OtherFormName.DataGridViewName.focus
or
OtherFormName.FunctionName()
I have tried setting the objects Modifier to Public etc.
Hope this makes sense.
Any Help would be gratefully appreciated.

In the forms designer, change
Friend WithEvents TxtProductionBgColor As System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
to
Public WithEvents TxtProductionBgColor As System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
You can also make a public routine populate the control and have form1 call form2.
hope this helps.

If you don't have Word installed then you cannot use Word Application object and documents to create custom Word documents.
You might want to check RTF format or the new Word XML format (only for Office 2003 and above) to create documents without using MS Word. It's not an easy task, as far as I can tell.

Unfortunately I'm not an expert in RTF format.
You might want to check documentation on RTF yourself.
I've seen it and I can tell you it's not easy and you won't be able to do 100% of everything you can do in Word format.

Hey,
I was writing a program and it was working fine. Then I deleted a form and an error ocurred saying:
<br />
Invalid Operation Exception Was Unhandled<br />
<br />
An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.<br />
This has happened before with Performance Counters, but I haven't used one. Also, I remove varibles that are outside Sub Procedures (ie. Private Varible1 As String and this makes it work again. And it will also completely clear AplicationEvents.vb.It happens very randomly.
Any ideas? This is a huge program and I would hate to have to start over on it (like I have done many times before). Please help.
Thank you!

The .NET Framework 1.x will work on Windows 98. But, does your reporting component specify that it'll work?? Somehow, I doubt it.

Background:
I made a form with a button and a panel. When the User hits the button -> a user control is placed on the panel.. The User can rename and change controls within the usercontrol and the usercontrol is movable within the panel.
Problem:
I want to be able to provide the option of saving/Recalling the layout of this panel with all the usercontrol information in it. (ie. control Names, Location, and Data contained in each control within the usercontrol) There could be as many as 50 Usercontrols on the panel and the layouts can change from user to user or session to session..
I am looking for the best way to achive this and an example of such..
Thanks In advance

Why not just write the data to an XML file and then read it in when you create the form again?

Try creating a MenuStrip and adding your Menu Item (ie. "ParentItem"). Then use this code to create a Sub Item:
ParentItem.DropDownItems.Add("SubItem")

How do you make a comboBox ReadOnly ?
I've read the standard answer for this question,
(Change the dropDownStyle property)
But that doesn't make the combobox ReadOnly as
you can still change the value inside the combobox by
simply using the drop-down.
I need:
- a comboBox that displays the contents in a readable
way, in other words I don't want to use the enabled property.
- the user to be able to view the complete
list within the comboBox.
I simply want the control to work as it normally would except
I want to prevent the user from changing the value.
Is there an easy way to do this ?
Thank you for your replys

Change it back whenever it changes.

b { font-weight: normal; }

I like that Idea.
Is there a way to have all comboBoxes use the same set of code
for a specific event ?
I have alot of comboBoxes and I don't want to have to write
code for the change event for all of them.

Sure. ALl you have to do is append the names of your ComboBoxes to the Handles clause of the method header:
Private Sub methodName(blah, blah) Handles ComboBox1.eventName, ComboBox2.eventName, ComboBox3.eventName, ...

I'm sorry but...?
Why display a list of options, and then not allow the selection of any? 
Roy.
|

|
|

The control switches back and forth between
ReadOnly and not ReadOnly depending on who
is logged on.
Some users will have the right to make the
change, others won't. All should at least
see what the options are.

|
|
|
|
You could inherit a control from the combo box and add your behavior to it...
