Well, is my placement of the statements correct in the code by any chance?

And did you download the VB zip file that i uploaded with the original post to see if you might be able to get it working?

I really appreciate everything that you tried to do. You are one of the very few ppl that has been willing to help me on this site and it is more greatly appreciated than you know.

Thank You

That's all right, I'm so sorry. Had this horrible headache

I couldn't download the ZIP. I'm on an iPad so unfortunately I have no easy way to get into it. If you are able to, post the actual source code here and I can take a look (I paper code a lot).

You should be able to. Just remember, with images you need to click "Include in Post" so they appear within the post.

This will help me help you - could you explain the error to me? Heaps quick?

This could be worth a shot:

If Not txtStudentName = "" Then
gbxScheduleText = "Course Information for: " & txtStudentName.Text & Chr(13) & "Schedule For: " & txtStudentName.Text
End If

I would personally use two properties here, just for code clarity.

Public Property studentName As String
Get
Return txtStudentName.Text
End Get
Set (ByVal value As String)
txtStudentName.Text = value
End Get
End Property
Public Property Schedule As String
Get
Return gbxSchedule.Text
End Get
Set (ByVal value As String)
gbxSchedule.Text = value
End Get
End Property

Re: Textbox entry on one form to change text output on another form

Posted 11 April 2012 - 02:16 PM

It took a little trial and error, but with the help of DimitriV I've figured out a solution for this problem and it was amazingly simple.

Instead of calling the main form from the subform, i needed to be calling the subform from the main form. So in the main form I just had to add the following code into the main form to fix it.

 Private Sub btnShow_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnShow.Click
        ' This procedure displays the schedule on an
        ' instance of the frmSchedule form.
        Dim scheduleForm As New frmSchedule
        Dim gbxSchedule As String

        If frmStudentName.txtStudentName.Text <> "" Then
            scheduleForm.gbxSchedule.Text = "Schedule for " & frmStudentName.txtStudentName.Text
        End If

        ' Copy the course and professor for the
        ' 8:00 - 8:50 time block to scheduleForm.
        scheduleForm.lblCourse1.Text = course1
        scheduleForm.lblProfessor1.Text = professor1

        ' Copy the course and professor for the
        ' 9:00 - 9:50 time block to scheduleForm.
        scheduleForm.lblCourse2.Text = course2
        scheduleForm.lblProfessor2.Text = professor2

        ' Copy the course and professor for the
        ' 10:00 - 10:50 time block to scheduleForm.
        scheduleForm.lblCourse3.Text = course3
        scheduleForm.lblProfessor3.Text = professor3

        ' Copy the course and professor for the
        ' 11:00 - 11:50 time block to scheduleForm.
        scheduleForm.lblCourse4.Text = course4
        scheduleForm.lblProfessor4.Text = professor4

        ' Copy the course and professor for the
        ' 12:00 - 12:50 time block to scheduleForm.
        scheduleForm.lblCourse5.Text = course5
        scheduleForm.lblProfessor5.Text = professor5

        ' Display the schedule form.
        scheduleForm.ShowDialog()

    End Sub

Private Sub btnEnterStudent_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnEnterStudent.Click


        frmStudentName.ShowDialog()

        If frmStudentName.txtStudentName.Text <> "" Then
            frmSchedule.gbxSchedule.Text = "Schedule for " & frmStudentName.txtStudentName.Text
            gbxSchedule.Text = "Course Information for " & frmStudentName.txtStudentName.Text

        End If
    End Sub
End Class

And Walah! The forms that need to be changed, change; and the TextBox on frmStudentName retains the entered name when the form when returned to!

Thanks so much you 2 guys that got me thinking about it a little better and gave me logic ideas. You have been repped appropriately!

You are a really great guy DimitriV. Especially spending all that time last night helping a complete stranger. If the world was a little more kind and showed a little more grace like that and was not so quick to judge and make fun of everyone who is not exactly like we are, then we would all live in a much better place.

Re: Textbox entry on one form to change text output on another form

Posted 11 April 2012 - 04:26 PM

While running the program through the ropes to double check everything, i noticed that btnCancel on frmStudentName form doesn't cancel and leave gbxSchedule.Text on the frmMain form unchanged. It acts just like btnAccept does and changes gbxSchedule.Text. Can anyone help me figure this one? I think it has to do with assigning Accept and Cancel Properties, i'm just not sure how to get started doing it.

Below is the frmMain form code

  Public Class frmMain
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

+ Windows Form Designer Generated Code


    ' Class-level variables
    Private course1 As String = ""   ' To hold the 8:00 - 8:50 course
    Private course2 As String = ""   ' To hold the 9:00 - 8:50 course
    Private course3 As String = ""   ' To hold the 10:00 - 10:50 course
    Private course4 As String = ""   ' To hold the 11:00 - 11:50 course
    Private course5 As String = ""   ' To hold the 12:00 - 12:50 course

    Private professor1 As String = "" ' To hold the 8:00 - 8:50 professor
    Private professor2 As String = "" ' To hold the 9:00 - 8:50 professor
    Private professor3 As String = "" ' To hold the 10:00 - 10:50 professor
    Private professor4 As String = "" ' To hold the 11:00 - 11:50 professor
    Private professor5 As String = "" ' To hold the 12:00 - 12:50 professor

    Private Sub btnAdd_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAdd.Click
        ' This procedure adds the selected course
        ' to the schedule, which is kept in the
        ' class-level variables.

Yes, because they both close the form... The subform frmStudentName is not where the code goes... They just both close the form and send you back to the main form.

The code that snatches the input out of txtStudentName.Text is on the main form. here i'll post the snippets...

This is code from bottom of main form that calls up the Enter Name Box and then sends the input to gbxSchedule.Text on the main form

rivate Sub btnEnterStudent_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnEnterStudent.Click


        frmStudentName.ShowDialog()

        If frmStudentName.txtStudentName.Text <> "" Then
            gbxSchedule.Text = "Course Information for " & frmStudentName.txtStudentName.Text

        End If
    End Sub

And this is the code from the main form that snatches the input from the Name Box and puts it in gbx.Schedule on the Schedule Form...

  Private Sub btnShow_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnShow.Click
        ' This procedure displays the schedule on an
        ' instance of the frmSchedule form.
        Dim scheduleForm As New frmSchedule
        Dim gbxSchedule As String

        If frmStudentName.txtStudentName.Text <> "" Then
            scheduleForm.gbxSchedule.Text = "Schedule for " & frmStudentName.txtStudentName.Text
        End If

So when you close frmStudentName you want it to clear frmMain.gbxSchedule.Text?
