I have a multiple client that I get here, what I want is to make each settings of the client to depend on my.settings.
I have this code:
'Sub to create client
Private Sub AddNewClient()
Call New frmClient() With {.MdiParent = Me}.Show()
End Sub
'OnLoad Event that creates the new client
Private Sub MainWindow_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Display a single client window by default.
Me.AddNewClient()
Me.AddNewClient()
End Sub
Public Class frmClient
Private ReadOnly host As String = Environment.MachineName
Private ReadOnly port As Integer = 3131
Private WithEvents client As New MessageClient(host, port)
'And lots and lots of code
End Class
I want it to be something like this:
'Sub to create client
Private Sub AddNewClient(parameterForIP, parameterForPort)
Call New frmClient(parameterForIP, parameterForPort) With {.MdiParent = Me}.Show()
End Sub
'OnLoad Event that creates the new client
Private Sub MainWindow_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Display a single client window by default.
Me.AddNewClient(my.settings.ipClient1, my.settings.ipPort1)
Me.AddNewClient(my.settings.ipClient2, my.settings.ipPort2)
End Sub
Public Class frmClient(parameterForIP, parameterForPort)
Private ReadOnly host As String = parameterForIP
Private ReadOnly port As Integer = parameterForPort
Private WithEvents client As New MessageClient(host, port)
'And lots and lots of code
End Class
'Lots of code follows here
It seems that I am missing something, am I?
Update: Base on the code given by jmcilhinney
, it makes my UI to become like this
I've used it like this
Public Sub AddNewClient(clientIP As String, clientPort As Integer)
Call New frmClient(clientIP, clientPort) With {.MdiParent = Me}.Show()
End Sub
Private Sub MainWindow_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Display a single client window by default.
With My.Settings
Me.AddNewClient(.ipClient1, .portClient1)
Me.AddNewClient(.ipClient2, .portClient2)
End With
End Sub
This:
Public Class frmClient(parameterForIP, parameterForPort)
Private ReadOnly host As String = parameterForIP
Private ReadOnly port As Integer = parameterForPort
Private WithEvents client As New MessageClient(host, port)
'And lots and lots of code
End Class
would have to be this:
Public Class frmClient
Private ReadOnly host As String
Private ReadOnly port As Integer
Private WithEvents client As MessageClient
Public Sub New(parameterForIP As String, parameterForPort As Integer)
InitializeComponent()
host = parameterForIP
port = parameterForPort
client = New MessageClient(host, port)
End Sub
'And lots and lots of code
End Class
