Writing to a label.text on form from within a module

Form1 calls a sub that is public in module1.

How do you write a value to a text property from with this sub?

Eg

Module myModule
sub mysub()
'From here how do I write to the label1.text that is on the
currently open form (form1) that called this sub
end sub
end module

Thanks for any help,
Bob

sub mysub()
form1.label1.text = "Hello World"
end sub
end module

re: Writing to a label.text on form from within a module

Thanks,
But this does not work.
form1 is not recognized in the IDE (it shows a wavy underline) and it won't
compile.
I get reference to a non-shared member requires object reference error in
task list.

Thanks for your help.

re: Writing to a label.text on form from within a module

If the sub method really should belong in the form class, add it to the
class.

If it should be a public method, then...
Turn the sub into a function that returns the desired caption.
Instead of a Sub, use a function in the module:
Function myfunction() as String
Return "Hello World"
End Function

Calling from Form:
label1.text = myfunction()

Or

Provide an appropriate method on your form class to update the caption.
Pass in an instance to the form to the sub, and have the sub call the
method.
Form:
Public Sub SetLabelCaption(Value as String)
label1.text = Value
End Sub

Sub:
Sub MySub(FormInstance as Form1)
...
FormInstance.SetLabelCaption ("Hello World")
End sub

Calling Sub from Form:
MySub(Me)

Or, any number of other ways. Just make sure that you provide a way to
uniquely identify the particular instance of the Form1 in question, and be
aware of potential threading issues.

\\\
Public Sub SetLabelText(ByVal Label As Label)
Label.Text = ...
End Sub
///
[color=blue]
> end module[/color]

Usage:

\\\
MyModule.SetLabelText(Me.Label1)
///

RD,

You would not want to do that. It is against everything that is OOP.

You can do in your form
\\\
me.label.text = MyOwnClass.Hello
///
And than you have in myownclass
\\\
class MyOwnClass
Friend Shared ReadOnly Property hello() as String
Get
Return "Hello"
End Get
End Property
///

This just as idea what is in this form crasy and I hope it gives you that?
