Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Posted on 2004-08-25
I know why this is happening I just don't know how to fix it. I have the following code in a class:
Dim frm As New frmStateDTS
frm = frmStateDTS.ActiveForm
frm.Invoke(frm.CallBindStu
In this class, a dataset is being filled from text file. When the file is imported I call the "callBindDtudentData" method invoker so I can bind the datagrid in my form with the dataset filled in the class. This operation can take a long time so I may minimize the form and open another window. When it gets to the line
'frm.Invoke(frm.CallBindSt
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
This only happens when the form is not the top window or I have another window (ie web browser) open on top of the form.
Dim frm As New frmStateDTS
frm = frmStateDTS.ActiveForm

that won't work baan ...
the issue is with ...
Dim frm As New frmStateDTS
frm = frmStateDTS.ActiveForm 'its not the active form therefor this is null
frm.Invoke(frm.CallBindStu
there are a few other ways you could do this ... i.e. find the reference to the form you want, baan's method will just create a new form. An answer might be to have your application remember which students form is active in order to run the invoke. You could also just handle this problem by showing an error message in the case that ie etc are in front of your form
if not frm is nothing
else
error
end if
