Yet another MDI Public....Priva te question

meh
Everytime I think I understand this it bites me.......

I have a derived tree control on a MDI parent form. From a child form I
want to be able to add a node (or modify). The tree (CurrTree) has
Public WithEvents CurrTree As TreeView

defined in the parent (MDI) and the same tree(CurrTree) is also defined in a
module as a
Public CurrTree As TreeView

I'm not sure if I really need to do this or not (part of my confusion)....

In a child form when I try to access this treeview it is object reference
not set to an instance of an object.....
I think I understand why I get this error (in the child the tree is not set
to anything) but I guess I'm not getting the big picture of sharing objects
between forms....

So my question is

1. Am I defining it (the tree) correctly to make it available everywhere in
my app
2. I know I have to set it to something when the child opens but what should
I set it to????
any help is greatly appreciated.... .

tia

Quick question- What happens if you have a private class with a public static method? Can you still say the following? Lets say you are making this call from another class, say class2... int myVal = class1.method(); It seems that you should not be able to, after all from class2, you should not be able to see the private class1, so it's public static method is effectively wasted.

Public Private Key Pairs - How do they work? ----------------------------------------------- I was looking at a presentation recently in which it was suggested that - User 1 Encrypts a message using User 2's Public Key. User 2 Decrypts the transmission using his Private Key to get the orignal message. Is the above correct?

I'm still trying to sort out in my head the differences between public and shared when referring to declaring properties or variables. This is my understanding: shared - akin to a 'global' variable for the application. Any other code within the application can access it. public - can be shared across the application if instatiated. Does that sound about right? It seems these are more useful for methods rather than variables. Most of...

Hello: I'm trying to make sense of snk files, when to use, under what conditions to regenerate new ones,...can someone take a look if these statemes make sense? And then the final questions at the end that they first statements bring up in my mind... a) Because two developers, unbeknownst to each other, can end up releaseing different dll's with the same name, one should sign an assembly with a unique tag. right?

Hi, I'm not sure if i'm asking the question correctly but anyway here it is. Say I have 3 classes - class A, class B, class R. 1) A and B are the building blocks and R is like a repository that stores objects of A and B. 2) A is at the lowest level and should "know about" only other As. B should know only about As and other Bs.

Overview: 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,...
