On my main form in a C# program, I create an instance of another form that
contains a ListView control, in the usual way, that is:
public class frmMain : System.Windows. Forms.Form
{
// [...]
InfoForm myInfoForm = new InfoForm( );
myInfoForm.Show ( );
// [...]
}
When I click on the ListView on myInfoForm, I want to
be able to access two or three controls on the main form which
have public access (or can be changed easily to have public
access).
Seems like a simple enough requirement, similar to everything else
I do in C#, but I can't quite make this happen. Anyone know how?

The title of the thread should be
"Trying to access control on one *form* from another form."
Sorry for the typo which almost seems de rigueur in an unintended way.

Pass a reference to your main form in the constructor of your InfoForm.

Yes, of course. Thanks, Dale! I was making the common mistake of
creating a field of type Form in my InfoForm class, rather than
a field of type frmMain. Works fine now.
Just for the heck of it -- if it ain't broke, then break it -- would like
to implement an alternate approach by creating an event and a
delegate. I'll report back to this thread next time I'm on.

The "alternativ e" is what you should start with.
Your current solution makes your subform untestable and unusable without
your main form and makes your main form harder to maintain because a
maintainer has to know that parts of the form are being changed from
outside. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

For quite some time now, I've got the following problem:

Hi everyone,
My company recently upgraded from Office 97 to Office XP. As those

Main form-->First Subform-->Second Subform
First subform is a subform of Main Form, and Second Subform is a
subform of First Subform.

I have a form with two combo boxes. When the user makes a selection

Hello,
We are in the process of examining our current main application. We have to

(SQL Server 2000), 40 users.
I'm wondering what are the disadvantages of using Access as front-end? Other

Hi,
I'm trying to do something very simple...or at least it should be. I
have created a host page (gen.aspx) and a very simple user control
(us.ascx). The corresponding code-behind files are gen.aspx.vb and
uc.ascx.vb. With simple html or self contained vb in the user control,
everything is fine and dandy. So the next stage is to pass back a
simple variable from the user control to the host page. I used VS.NEt
to create the files.

Hi !! I'm about to develop a new project for a client.
Should I go about it in Access 2003 or 2007 ? Purchasing it either
for me or for my client is not a major consideration here ... what I'd
like to know is the stability, speed & ease of use of both the
products.
I believe Access 2007 has a new file format too and that it may be
slower.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
