Clicking my GUI_Button_DodajKonto starts the function DodajKonto(); in ZarzadzanieIni.cpp
I'm trying to do it, but I have already no idea. I was looking in google for 3 days and nothing helped.
Only one of my 4 tries works, but it's not correct too.
Could you help me how to access my controls in whole program?
Greetings, genotypek.
Re: Refer to control in another source file
You don't explain what the problem you're stuck on actually is, and the structural relationship between your source files isn't quite obvious, so mainly I can just give you a qualified guess. But there's a really common problem called mutual inclusion which is specific to scenarios like yours. It has been discussed around here quite some times. The most recent discussion of it should be this one: http://forums.codeguru.com/showthrea...is-not-working Many others can be found using forum search.
The master cure to this kind of problem is strict separation of method declarations (prototypes) in .h files and implementations in .cpp files. The only method implementation that always have to remain intact in the .h file is InitializeComponent(), since it is maintained by the Forms Designer, which expects to find it exclusively at this place. (A Form class' constructor implementation may also be left in the .h file in many cases, if it's rather simple.)
Re: Refer to control in another source file
Okay, i have read it and changed some code.
My actual code is:

I created another class in Kontrolki.h
What I want to do is to change Form controls properties from another cpp file, not only in GlowneOkno.h
I'm using #pragma once, so it shouldnt include each other. The code is compiling, but after clicking button and doing DodajKonto() function VisualStudio gives me this error:
Unsupported exception System.NullReferenceException: "Object reference not set to object instance."
How can I avoid it and change my GUI_Input_Login Text property to "Test", or any another property value?
Greetings, genotypek.
Re: Refer to control in another source file
#pragma once does not avoid the mutual inclusion problem. In this regard, it just makes the difference between "something is already defined" errors or infinite inclusion recursion on one hane, and "something is not defined" errors on the other hand. At any rate, mutual inclusion is not the problem here anyway: The mutual inclusion problem always makes a program fail compilation, while yours compiles successfully but then fails execution.
The null reference exception is no surprise here: Your global variable GUI_Input_Login never gets assigned any value. How should it know on its own which text box to refer to? ;) One place where you can assign the text box (reference handle) to that variable is the GlowneOkno constructor.
However, this kind of use of global variables is bad Programming practice. Even though assigning the variable in the constructor ensures that the variable has been assigned once construction of your GlowneOkno instance is complete, there's no guaranty that not any piece of your code, that uses the variable, gets called from somewhere under the hood of the .NET framework before the variable got assigned, and you still get that exception. Also, this kind of practice makes programs hard to maintain and extend. What, for instance, if you later decide to create another instance of GlowneOkno?
One alternative to your global variable is using the framework infrastructure to access your text box. This particular text box can, for instance, be referred to as:
Code:
Application::OpenForms["GlowneOkno"]->Controls["GUI_Input_Login"]
This doesn't solve the general problems of global variable use, but technically it uses a global variable maintainef by the framework instead of your own, so it's at least a small step closer to a clean solution. A clean solution is most probably possible, but finding it needs more knowledge of the internal workings of your code than I have.
Kontrolki.h does not need to include GlowneOkno.h - you're not referring to your own Form class derivate, just to the gloally known TextBox class.
To find the location in your program where an uncaught exception gets thrown, just run the program in the debugger. It will break at the point where the exception gets thrown. The exception message box you get when you run the program outside of the he debugger should also give you some detailed diagnostic information that allows to locate the point of failure, but that's more complicated than simply letting the debugger drop you there.

Re: Refer to control in another source file
It still doesn't work. :(
I have totally no idea what to do, especially that I don't know completely what instance is and how it works.
Debugger shows exception in ZarzadzanieIni.cpp, function DodajKonto(), line 34: (this function is calling by clicking button in GlowneOkno.h)
Attachment 34863
Sorry, but I'm from poland and I've got polish version of Visual Studio.
The same error is showing in this same place as before. I don't know why this method doesn't work?
Maybe I'm still doing something wrong?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instan...puter_science) There's also a polish article about that topic (link at the left edge of the page) but it's rather short and I can't tell how good it is, because I don't understand it.
Your polish language screen shot is no problem; the relevant parts are understandable to me. But please, if possible, store screen shots you want to post in PNG format rather than JPEG. The lossy JPEG compression tends to make text hard to read, and sometimes it even becomes just unreadable.
Getting a null reference exception on that line, assuming the form and control names are correct, indicates, that the GlowneOkno form object (instance) hasn't been constructed (completely) at that point of execution. (The item accessors used here return null instead of throwing an exception it the item requested isn't found in the collection.) If that code is in a button click handler, do I assume correctly that the exception is thrown as soon as you click the button? If so, is the GlowneOkno form visible on screen at that point?
What does the call stack look like when the exception is thrown?

Re: Refer to control in another source file
Yes, the window is visible on the screen and is constructed completely, the program works perfectly until I'll click this button and call the function in Zarzadzanie.ini
My program looks exactly like this, when executed (PNG):
Attachment 34865
This button is the button with focus.
My code is really much bigger, than I posted here, but it's only another controls, like you can see.
The call stock looks:
Attachment 34867
Code:
TW Master Bot.exe!DodajKonto() line 33
TW Master Bot.exe!TWMasterBot::GlowneOkno::GUI_Button_DodajKonto_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) line 2479
[external code]
[The following frames may be incorrect and / or missing, no symbols loaded for user32.dll]
TW Master Bot.exe!(array<System::String^>^ args) line 15
[external code]
(^^^^ If the picture would be unreadable)
I think, that the problem is not here, because if I'll add static at control declaration in GlowneOkno.h:
Code:
public: static System::Windows::Forms::TextBox^ GUI_Input_Login;
//instead:
// public: System::Windows::Forms::TextBox^ GUI_Input_Login;
simply in ZarzadzanieIni.cpp:
Code:
#include "GlowneOkno.h"
void DodajKonto()
{
TWMasterBot::GlowneOkno::GUI_Input_Login->Text = "Test";
}
Works fine, but I know that I shouldn't change anything in managed space by designer, because it will automatically overwrited.
What is wrong there?
Greetings, Genotypek.
PS. Thank you for the link to instance definition, english isn't problematic for me, so I don't have to read polish thread to get informations. :)
PS2. I have saved these screens as PNG, uploaded as PNG now, and it is as .jpg again on the forum... :/
Re: Refer to control in another source file
Re: Refer to control in another source file
Sorry, I've sort of ran out of ideas regarding your issue. The next logical step for me would be to grab the code you posted, try to reconstruct you project and reproduce your problem, but I didn't have enough spare time to do that yet.
What I can give you is another shot-in-the-dark guess, but this one is even more vague than the last one: Could it be that your two forms involved may be part of the same application, but have been created by two distinct process instances of that application? This would explain the exception you get. If so, we'd be talking about inter-process communication (IPC), which is a whole different ballgame and rather complex.
And, re screen shots...

Unfortunately, I can reproduce that. This is sad, because screen shot (and other image) details may really be important in developer discussions. Once there were times where that worked... :(
Re: Refer to control in another source file
I removed my all another forms from this project and that still doesn't work, an expection is still thrown.
It's strange, because simply provide controls to this function as aguments works... But I won't be able to do it in the future for every function. :/
After all, thank you for your time, maybe I'll try to find an answer on another forums like this, maybe more people, who aren't on this forum will come up with a solution.
Thank you one more time!
Greeting, Genotypek.
Re: Refer to control in another source file
In the meantime I had another idea: As your screen shot shows, your form is rather complex. So maybe the text box you're looking for is located in a group box. In this case, the text box is no direct child of the form but of the group box (which is, in turn, a child of the form). If this is the case, chances are that you're more successful accessing the text box like this:
Code:
Application::OpenForms["GlowneOkno"]->Controls->Find("GUI_Input_Login", true)[0]
Re: Refer to control in another source file
Thank you so much!
That works perfectly. :)
Sorry for this problem, it was my fault at the beginning. I tried to do my code as compact as possible and I didn't post the code snip with groupbox, because I didn't know that it's important in this situation.
I almost lost my hope, but you restored it! ;)
Thank you so much one more time.
Best regards, genotypek.
