Subclass a Control by UserControl
-
Hi all in VFP, When I begin to work with a project, I create control that is a subclass of it is baseclass, then I code what I want to this subclass, then I drag it and put it on the form. and I use this subclass in all my forms later on. Now to make that in vb.net I found the UserControl is the closet control to do what I want. Q1: Is UserControl is the right direction to achieve what I want? I have did some tests on UserControl and I have these questions 1- Why it gives warning in
'Me.Version = "1.0"2- Why it gives warning and my vb crashes and could not be restarted unless I close all vb IDE's inVersion = value3- Should I assign a new variable (m_version) for each property I want to add? Cannot I work directly with property? 4- When I drag the control to my form, I notice that the control (Textbox) (width and height) are not expanded to take the the Length and Height of the Usercontrol. Should I handle that manually? 5- I have included many code in the Get, so I would like to know what is the best I should use.Public Class UserControl1 ' I add Textbox
Dim m_Version
Property Version()
Get
'Version = "1.0" ' Worked Fine
'Me.Version = "1.0" ' Warning 3 Property 'Version' doesn't return a value on all code paths. A null reference exception could occur at run time when the result is used.
'Return "1.0" ' Worked Fine
Return m_Version ' Worked Fine
End Get
Set(ByVal value)
m_Version = value ' Works Fine
'Version = value ' Warning 3 Expression recursively calls the containing property 'Version'.
End Set
End Property
End ClassTIA

Case sensativity, Version is a property and you're using it as a variable, so Version = value wouldn't work, I'm assuming your Version property is referencing m_Version, a private variable that the property Version reflects on.

will not work, nor should it, you should use Return m_Version which is your private variable Consider the property Version as an interface to your m_Version variable, you do not change the Property but merely what the Property reflects.

Because the Get part of the property must return a value to the caller and your code apparently doesn't do that. Since a Version property should never be set by a caller, your code should read, as a ReadOnly property:
Public Class MyControl
Private Const m_Version As String = "1.0"
Public ReadOnly Property Version() As String
Get
Return m_Version
End Get
End Property
End ClassSeriously, pick up a beginners book on VB.NET. The problem you're having has nothing to do with subclassing or anything of the sort. You're missing a basic understanding of how Properties work.

Errr , i dont know alot , but sound like subclassing/inheritance.. Me.Version = "1.0" is a setter thingie in this class, you are setting version to 1 , that will set property version to 1 , that will set version to 1 etc.. Version = value is also a setter thingie in this class. -did you ever type mybase in your subclass ? use and abuse ! -if you have a inherited control , then this class uses a already made class , maybe you'll have to dive into private/protected/public/must overidde/overiddes stuff..It's weird in the beginning but extremely helpfull in the end. -did you put your usercontrol in a different project and referenced that project into your inheritee project , (cause that how it works with me here) ? A usercontrol sometimes wants to be build first in a seperate project , before it wants to be patched up with new code by a different project.

I never said that. Every property has to support either a Gettor, a Settor, or both. Either/Both of which much be backed by a constant, a variable, or some other storage, to make the property usefull. If you understood the basics of Properties, you never would have said what you did.

Okay Doofus, explain why, if your elite skills are so good, you are asking why writing a function (forget that it's a property for the moment) without returning a value causes a compiler warning that there is no value returned? Let's go back to OO school: Getter methods are used to RETURN a value without changing anything. Setter methods are used to CHANGE a value without returning anything. Which bit do you not understand? This is NOT VB.Net nor M$, it's first principles.

Six months of "learning VB.net" makes you a rank amateur, a newbie, a mere child. It took me ten years to get to a point where I felt comfortable in my knowledge of C++. I've been doing C# for just two years (about 7 years less than almost everyone else here), and while I feel pretty comfortable with it, I wouldn't call myself "accomplished". And while I realize that this is the VB forum, saying you code in VB is like admitting you use AOL to get on the internet.

Okay Doofus, explain why, if your elite skills are so good, you are asking why writing a function (forget that it's a property for the moment) without returning a value causes a compiler warning that there is no value returned? Let's go back to OO school: Getter methods are used to RETURN a value without changing anything. Setter methods are used to CHANGE a value without returning anything. Which bit do you not understand? This is NOT VB.Net nor M$, it's first principles.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done.

Where I mention that I am not returning a value for the function? show me. here is my question
Public Class myclass1
Function Sum()
Sum = 1 + 2 ' <-- Works Fine
Me.Sum = 1 + 2 ' <-- Gives error although me.Sum should be the same as Sum alone
End Function
End ClassLike car accidents, most hardware problems are due to driver error. Samir R. Ibrahim

Yes I write that code in my app and it gives error which is not logical error in my understanding of how PEM's should work in a class. I did not say you write that neither you mention it. That was an expression of my thought.

I said the problem you have in your code HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SUBCLASSING.
What/Where is my problem in my code? Did you notice the remark ' I put in front of the lines? did you notice the remark I put after the ' "works fine" or "gives warning", I managed to make the property work before I ask this question. I read and search google and reading in 3 books and when I sleep and I dream That I am searching google. All I was asking is "Why it is giving warning" It's hard to threw 15 years of "any Language" experience behind your back and start learning new language from scratch. In my stupid mind, when you are working in class and you code
Me.Versionor justVersion, LOGICALLY they both should point to the same property. Yes I find that not logical and has no reason to give error. Eventually, You was right. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PROPERTY WORK IN VB.NET The capital letter is for emphasizing not shouting.Dave Kreskowiak wrote:

I had one point to fix about "as***le and super arrogance" I did not mean to say that about you, I am saying that about the Post Owner PO. although after reading my post it seems like it is towards you. Sorry for that, A thought in mind translated in wrong way. please accept my apology. In short, 15 years programming experience, I cannot accept "read beginner book" as an answer, but I can accept "Vb.net Work Like that either you like or no" I am feeling nervous and upset from my self not from you. Sorry. <

I works exactly the same as it does in any .NET lanuage, be it Managed C++, C#, VB.NET, ... It's very standard and doesn't deviate from accepted norms in other languages outside the .NET environment. So, I fail to understand how you find the functionality or structure of a VB.NET Property weird.

There are other uses for books like that, such as being a reference when converting code/concepts from other languages to VB.NET. Yeah, I saw all the ' marks in your code snippet. It looked as though you were guessing, trying to figure out how properties worked. Properties are a very basic concept in .NET, so that's why the book suggestion. The rest, I'm not going to touch.

6 month of learning vb.net
Six months of "learning VB.net" makes you a rank amateur, a newbie, a mere child. It took me ten years to get to a point where I felt comfortable in my knowledge of C++. I've been doing C# for just two years (about 7 years less than almost everyone else here), and while I feel pretty comfortable with it, I wouldn't call myself "accomplished". And while I realize that this is the VB forum, saying you code in VB is like admitting you use AOL to get on the internet.

Hey now, I can understand bashing the OP, but the rest of us? Back when <= VS6, I would agree with you; but with the CLR/CLS, does it really matter what you use to 'develop' with these days (other than fitting in with the C# norm)?
