leearach2004 · Dec 23, 2006

Hi there I have 2 mobilr forms in one aspx file, I have 5 labels on the one form displaying some information in then need when a command button is pressed to go to the next form and display the same information but in text boxs. How do you pass text from on mobilr form to another using vb language.
Anyone help cant find much on the net about mobile forms, lots on normal forms.

you can use a session to do that. if you want a popup form you will have to use java, if you don't want a popup form use response.redirect with sessions.

You don't need session variables to pass values from one form to the other, because you can host several subforms on a mobile form. You just make one active at a time. Below is an example of a loan calculator that passes calculated data from one form (Form1) to a second form (Form2).

Code:

<body>
    <mobile:Form id="Form1" runat="server" Title="Loan Calculator">        
        
        <mobile:Panel ID="Panel1" Runat="server">
            
            <mobile:Label Runat="server" ID="lbl1">Principal</mobile:Label><mobile:TextBox id="txtPrincipal" Runat="Server"></mobile:TextBox>
            <mobile:Label Runat="server" ID="lbl2">Term</mobile:Label><mobile:TextBox id="txtTerm" Runat="Server"></mobile:TextBox>
            <mobile:Label Runat="server" ID="lbl3">Rate</mobile:Label><mobile:TextBox id="txtRate" Runat="Server"></mobile:TextBox>
            <mobile:Command id="cmdCalculate" runat="server" OnClick="cmdCalculate_Click">Calculate</mobile:Command>
        </mobile:Panel>
    </mobile:Form>
    <mobile:Form ID="Form2" Runat="server">
        <mobile:Label ID="lblLoanDetails" Runat="server">Loan Details</mobile:Label>
        <mobile:Label ID="lblPayment" Runat="server">Payment</mobile:Label>
        <mobile:Command ID="cmdReturn" Runat="server" OnClick="cmdReturn_Click">Return to Calculator</mobile:Command>
    </mobile:Form>
</body>

Code:

protected void cmdCalculate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Double principal = Convert.ToDouble(this.txtPrincipal.Text);
        Double apr = Convert.ToDouble(this.txtRate.Text);
        Double monthlyInterest = (Double)(apr / (12 * 100));
        Double termInMonths = Convert.ToDouble(this.txtTerm.Text) * 12;
        Double monthlyPayment;
        monthlyPayment = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Financial.Pmt(
           monthlyInterest, termInMonths, -principal, 0,
           Microsoft.VisualBasic.DueDate.BegOfPeriod);
        this.ActiveForm = this.Form2;
        this.lblLoanDetails.Text = principal.ToString("C0") + " @ " +
          apr.ToString() + "% for " + this.txtTerm.Text + " years";
        this.lblPayment.Text = monthlyPayment.ToString("C");

    }
    protected void cmdReturn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.ActiveForm = this.Form1;
    }
