Textbox text isn't updating

[trint]

I have a textbox (textBox7) that isn't updating..
Is there a way, after I type new text in it, to have it update?
It seems to be fairly normal:

public class Form1
: System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
private System.Windows.Forms.TextBox textBox7;
......
private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.textBox7 = new System.Windows.Forms.TextBox();

// textBox7
//
this.textBox7.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(248, 32);
this.textBox7.Name = "textBox7";
this.textBox7.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(72, 20);
this.textBox7.TabIndex = 69;
this.textBox7.Text = "";
//
this.Controls.Add(this.textBox7);
Ok, the Form1 is idol and I type "100".

then debug and watch here:
public void getTextBox7()
{
Form1 this2watch = new Form1();
string addwatch = this.textBox7.Text;<<<Nothing is in here!
Class1.watCHTimer1 = Convert.ToInt16(addwatch);
}

thanks in advance,
Trint

Thanks,
Trint

you type in the text, and click a button to get into this procedure?
If not, when getTextBox7() being called?

I just put a value in the textbox and run a function that is supposed to
get the text from the box and assign it to a string. That's it. And
there is nothing in it.

Hi,

Ok,
This is where it is called:

From Class1.cs:
public static void testwatcher()
{
Form1 finDWatchInt = new Form1();
do
{
finDWatchInt.getTextBox7(); <<This is the call.
watCHTimer1 = Convert.ToInt16(finDWatchInt.textBox6.Text);
MessageBox.Show("Please enter a number value!");
}
while(watCHTimer1 < 1);
}

Thanks,

Hi,

There are a number of thing I do not get from your code,

Why testwatcher is static?

You are not even showing the form in the first place, how do you expect it
to have a value?

Form1 finDWatchInt = new Form1();
do
{
finDWatchInt.ShowDialog(); // ********* include this line
finDWatchInt.getTextBox7(); <<This is the call.
watCHTimer1 = Convert.ToInt16(finDWatchInt.textBox6.Text);
MessageBox.Show("Please enter a number value!");
}
while(watCHTimer1 < 1);
}

still I do not understand what you are trying to do.

Ignacio,
I can't do a "finDWatchInt.ShowDialog(); because the Form1 is already
showing (Form1 would then appear twice???). This happens as a result
of this button click:

public void button19_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Class1.testwatcher();
}
Thanks,

Hi Trinit,
Just by creating a form it does not show it in the screen, unless you call
Show() on it.

You are creating a new instance of Form1:

public static void testwatcher()
{
Form1 finDWatchInt = new Form1();

so this instance is not being displayed in the screen, unless you call Show
