Get CheckBox value from one form in another form.

[Gee Appan]

I made the chkbox public in designer.
Then tried to access the checked property in the form.But it always shows"False" irrespective of the checked state of the control

I have had problem accessing designer components from another form. I your case I would create a public Boolean and set it based on checkbox, then check the public Boolean from the other form.

The public var in source form contains the value(true/false) based on the checked prop. But in the destination form it always has the default value as false(initialised value).

That's because you're probably creating a new instance of the parent form in the child. You need to pass a reference, not create a new one.

Also, don't create a public bool attribute, use a property:

public bool PropertyName{
  get { return someCheckBox.Checked; } 
  //if you want to be able to set it as well,
  //uncomment the next line
  //set { someCheckBox.Checked = value; } 
}

Thanks. It worked.

Create an object for form1 and send the checked value of the particular check box from form2 to form1 using the form1 object.
