[RESOLVED] textbox ?

I get the following error for my sub. Whats wrong and how do I correct it?

C:\Documents and Settings\Don\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\FLV Player\Form1.vb(154): Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.

VB Code:

Private Sub AxShockwaveFlash1_FSCommand(ByVal command As String, ByVal args As String)
        If (command = "info") Then
            Form1.TextBox1.Text = Form1.TextBox1.Text & args & vbNewLine
        Else
            MsgBox(args)
        End If
    End Sub

Are you trying to access Form1's controls from some another form?

If so then you need to understand one thing that the Forms in .NET are not objects like VB 6.0 rather they are classes. So before using them you need to instantiate them and if you have already instantiated them then if you are trying to access it from some other object, that object has to know about the instance of the form.

Is this correct then?

VB Code:

If (command = "info") Then
            TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & args & vbNewLine
        Else
            MsgBox(args)
        End If

Thanks to jmcilhinney for the links. :thumb:

Can you tell us what exactly you are trying to do? It will be easier to help.

And if you are doing something with the commandline arguments then you should be using Environment.CommandLine. Also CommandLine will have more than one parameter, the first being the name & path of the EXE that you are executing and second onwards will the parameters that you are passing.

I have a text box on my form and when my shockwave component plays my movie there is a variable called "info" in the flash movie that the FSCommand can read. I am trying to get that information into the text box. I know how to do it in VB6, but now I am using VB.Net 2003. I also think the FSCommand arguments are incorrect.

I came across this code on google and it works but not all the arguments are displayed in the text box. Only the last element - duration; is showing up. How would I get all the values show up in my text box?

The command "info" should be passing the following data:

creationdate = Thu Dec 11 20:26:37 2003
framerate = 983040
audiodatarate = 64
videodatarate = 200
height = 240
width = 320
duration = 55.7557563781738

VB Code:

Private Sub axShockwaveFlash1_FSCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As _
          AxShockwaveFlashObjects._IShockwaveFlashEvents_FSCommandEvent) _
          Handles AxShockwaveFlash1.FSCommand
 
        ' Use a select case statement to filter the command being passed  through
        Select Case e.command
            Case "info"
                ' Output the arguments
                'MessageBox.Show("The Arguments were: " & e.args)
                TextBox1.Text = ""
                TextBox1.Text = e.args
 
        End Select
    End Sub

ok, I got it figured it out. I changed the this line to this

VB Code:

TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & e.args & vbNewLine
