automation of copying Data from one form to another in VB .net
automation of copying Data from one form to another in VB .net
(OP)
Good evening all,
First off I have not programmed in over 20 years so this is a steep learning curve for me.
I have multiple forms with the first nine fields are identical. I am wanting to copy those Nine fields to each form as it is called.
I call these forms by a combobox using an if statement and I am wanting to make my code neat and short and not long winded.
As you can expect having 10 - 11 options within a ComboBox to call that many forms and then copy the data over.
So far I have searched google and not found anything helpful as I think I am looking in the wrong way.
Please don't treat me like an idiot as other forms have.. ta
If you need a copy of my code so far I can supply.

I create a Public Sub and put in the nine fields I want to copy to all forms and then call when needed....
Now why did I not think of that in the first place. :(
RE: automation of copying Data from one form to another in VB .net
If so, I would create just 1 Form with the 9 fields, and create 10 or 11 frames / group boxes / tab control / whatever on this one Form and display one at the time depending on what user wants to see.
"I call these forms [frames / group boxes] by a combobox using an if [select case] statement and I am wanting to make my code neat and short and not long winded."
That will do it, in my opinion.
Have fun.

There is a great need for a sarcasm font.

Others - like softhemc - do this more 'sophisticated' way, but I am just a simple guy...
And as far as your other comment:
"Please don't treat me like an idiot as other forms have.. ta"
Here on TT nobody does it to others (unless you really, really ask for it )
Welcome to Tek-Tips
Have fun.

That is something we don't want here@Tek-Tips. I can remember when I was ignorant of the stuff I know now. That stuff came by way of lots of people more knowledgeable that I, and for that I am grateful.
I know that there are also lots of contributing members who feel the same way. We all work to keep it that way and make it better.
So we hope you'll stick around, learn lots of good stuff and contribute as you are able and willing.
Skip,
Just traded in my OLD subtlety...
for a NUance!

I agree with both Andrzejek and SkipVought and would also draw you attention to the two links at the bottom right of each post. The first is self explanatory, but the second is there to enable you report anything "unpleasant".
By the way, if you post your sample code, we could see what might be possible with regard to making it a bit neater.
