I have two form and I want to display in the first form some of the
info from the second one. Here is how I tried to do it:
<<<<ok button of form2>>>>>
Dim Myform1 As New Form1
Myform1.Label1.Text = TextBox1.Text
These lines create a brand new Form1 and do not access the text box on
the original form1.
Just like any other class, you need to have a reference to Form1 inside
the second form in order to access its properties or methods. One way
is to have your app start with a Sub Main, then create a global
variable to hold the reference to your first form. Something like
this:
Public MainForm As Form1
Public Sub Main()
MainForm = New Form1
Application.Run(MainForm)
End Sub
Another method is to pass in a reference to Form1 into Form2 using an
overloaded constructor, you can then access the variable throughout
form 2.
<< In button click on Form1 >>
Dim MyForm2 As New Form2(Me)
<< In Form2 >>
Private Form1Reference As Form1
Public Sub Form2(formref As Form1)
Form1Reference = formref
End Sub
Hope this gives you some ideas,
