Accessing a Listbox from another Class?

I have a windows form listbox in one class and I need to reference it
in another class, eg. I need to add an item to the listbox. What is
the correct way to setup the listbox and then set a pointer to pass to
my sub-class. I tried to define a listbox in my new class and then
code:

class.listbox = this.listbox;

The compiled said OK but I had an exception when I attempted to access
the
listbox from the sub_class.

Note. This is not a internal class but a new class under the main
namespace.

Thanks
P.S. Can this even be done. No one at my company has tried this

David, you need to pass an instance of your form class to your second class.
Once you have that instance you will have access to the listbox.

Hi I have a form named form1. I have a class called class1. I want to call a recursive method in class1 called MyMethod() I would like log info to a listbox, listbox1, on the form as MyMethod performs its recursion. How do I pass an instance into class1 so that it can add items to the listbox? Should be easy I guess.

Ok - I have a ListBox control and I'm ready to write my own DrawItem event handler. What I want to draw as the item is another control. I have created a user control that I would like to list in this listbox but I can't for the life of me figure out how to draw the control inside ListBox... I get as far as: private void lbImageList_DrawItem(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs e)

his is a hybrid problem i.e. the answer lies either in javascript or vb.net so forgive me if this is the wrong group.

Hi all, I have a listbox that is complex bound by an arraylist. The problem is that when I delete an object from the arraylist, the listbox does not reflect those changes. I tried refreshing the listbox with no luck and, because it is already bound, I can't just delete the item directly from the listbox without an error (because it already has a datasource, you are not allowed to delete/add anything to the listbox directly). The...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
