calling public sub in Form

[Strahimir Antoljak]

Why can't I call a public function or sub defined in the main form of my
application from within a module or a class, all being a part of the
same assembly?

When I define public function in a class, I can call it from the form,
but if I define public function in the form and try to call it from the
class it does not work. Any idea what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Strah

Strah,

Looking at Herfrieds sample, I saw I misunderstood your question completly
wrong.

Sorry

Chris,

I am not sure, however seeing Herfrieds answer (I did not open it, normally
I know them) than we both have interpretted Strahs answer wrong, so forget
my message. And when you had interpretted it right, than forget this as
well.

The answer is in my opinion very simple the goal is to make classes
independent from each other.

Communication (passing data) between classes will always make them "depend"
on each other, independent from the fact that in this case we are dealing
with forms. It's good to reduce dependencies, but I don't undetstand why my
solution is considered "bad" -- there are solutions that are worse than the
one described in my article.

Just my 2 Euro cents...

Herfried,

I appreciate everybody's input as this helps me (or anyone else
involved) to learn a thing or two. However this time, your solution was
only that really helped me out and that I applied with a great success!

... so, to me, it was like much more the 2 Euro cents,... more like a 2
thousand Euros :)

Thanks again ... and I agree about your comment concerning dependencies.
A form is just another class and it should behave (at least as far as
functions sharing) as any other 'regular' class. As long as one class
call for another they are dependent, whether they are forms or not. With
the clever use of constants, one should not ever have big time problems
changing names of the class and its name in the code accordingly.

regards,

Strah

Herfried,

I have said sorry for my misunderstandin g of the problem from Strah more
than an hour ago before you have sent this message.

I made that as well too Chriss.

What you want me to do, go to Wien to show you that and kneel at your feets?

OK, it seems that I missed that message for some reason :-(.

Definitely no. Nevertheless, if you plan to come to Vienna, feel free to
contact me.
