Hello,
I have an MDI app. There are many child forms and they all have several
things in common. They all have a Save button, a public variable
boolNavigate, and they all have a TreeView called treeBrowse.
I have a generic routine to create the TreeView and add it to a form since I
do this on a dozen or so forms. I also would like to add event handlers in
this generic routine. The handler routines perform the same function on
every form, but they need to reference the boolNavigate variable of the
particular calling form. How can I do this without typing the form in a
case with every possible child form?
Here is my code from a librabry module...
Public Sub CreateBrowserTr ee(ByVal frmParent As Form, ByVal treeIn As
TreeView)
'sets up a generic browser tree view attached to the passed in
parent control
Dim splitBrowse As Splitter
'create a splitter
splitBrowse = New Splitter
With splitBrowse
'...set properties
End With
frmParent.Contr ols.Add(splitBr owse)
'create a tree
treeIn = New TreeView
With treeIn
'...set properties
End With
frmParent.Contr ols.Add(treeIn)
'attach event handlers
AddHandler treeIn.BeforeSe lect, AddressOf TreeBrowse_Befo reSelect
'.... more of same type handlers
End Sub
Private Sub TreeBrowse_Befo reSelect(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows. Forms.TreeViewC ancelEventArgs)
'dont allow user to leave this node if bollNavigate is false
If (not sender.boolNavi gate) Then
Beep()
e.Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
The part about 'sender.boolNav igate' does not work. How can I access this
property that I know exists for every given form?
Also, I the code for each form's 'Save' button is the same. Is there a way
I can make a generic handler for that and have it apply to all the forms so
I can maintain 1 routine? Currently every form's save routine looks about
like this...
Private Sub cmdSave_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles cmdSave.Click
If (SaveFormData(b oolAddingNew, me) Then 'SaveFormData is a
generic data saving routine, pass a flag for new and the parent control
(form)
'reload the data
LoadFormData() 'this routine is different on each
form, but the Save handler would call each form's version
FirstNode(treeB rowse)
cmdNew.Enabled = True 'again, each form has a cmdNew
End If
End Sub
Thanks in advance. 1 2732
I'm not really sure if I completely understand the problem... but from what
I could surmise, wouldn't having your child forms implement an Interface
solve your problems?
First off, for the love of god, wrap the boolNavigate var into a Property
called "AllowNavig ate" or something. Add a new Interface file:
Interface IMyChildForm
Property AllowNavigate As Boolean
End Interface
Then add "Implements IMyChildForm" to all your forms.
Then you use as so:
If Not DirectCast(Send er, IMyChildForm).A llowNavigate Then
Beep()
e.Cancel = True
End If

I am trying to get & set the properties of a widget's parent widget.
What I have works, but seems like a long way around the block. First I
get the widget name using w.winfo_parent(), then i convert the name to a
reference using nametowidget().
self.nametowidget(event.widget.winfo_parent()).hasChanged= True
It works, but I can't help but think I'm missing a more direct route. Am I?
