winapp: how to call a procedure from a class

[nev]

if i add a new class1 in my program and i placed a public sub procedure in it, how will i call the procedure from form1? please help me find a link that answers this or please answer if you can. thank you and more power.

[camel]

Class1 classInstance = new Class1();
classInstance.MethodName();

Or if its a static method just Class1.MethodName()

[nev]

thank you camel. i forgot to mention the class1 i created was an object. just like when creating another form2 in my project.

when i have form1 and form2,
then i place a public sub in form2:

public sub test()
'sample
end sub

i can perform that sub procedure when i'm in form1 by:

form2.test()

knowing this, i tried putting that public sub inside a class1 object but when i place this code in form1:

class1.test()

it errors. what may be wrong?

Sorry I cannot follow your explanation of the problem, frustrating as I expect it would be easy to fix if only I was clearer quite what it was :)

Is it not just that you need an instance of class1 before calling its method (as per my previous answer), whilst the Form2 you refer to was already instantiated (i.e. loaded) when you called its method successfully?

ohhh, i just have to create the procedures as a shared sub :-)
