Reference form from one project in another?

[Thief_]

I have two projects in one solution:

a.. Outlook Monitor
b.. Tray Notification
Both contain a form called "Form1.vb". How do I reference "Outlook
Monitor"'s Form1 from "Tray Notification"'s form1? Here's my code example
taken from "Tray Notification"'s form1:

Code:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
'--- Create ContextMenu
'Dim TrayContextMenu As ContextMenu = New ContextMenu

'Add itens on ContextMenu
TrayContextMenu .MenuItems.Add( "&Restore", New
System.EventHan dler(AddressOf Me.mnuRestore_c lick))
TrayContextMenu .MenuItems.Add( "-")
TrayContextMenu .MenuItems.Add( "&Exit", New
System.EventHan dler(AddressOf Me.mnuExit_clic k))

'--- Create NotifyIcon
'Dim TrayNotifyIcon As BalloonTip = New BalloonTip

' Show Notify Icon
TrayNotifyIcon. Text = Me.Text ' Help text for MouseLeave on Icon
TrayNotifyIcon. Icon = Me.Icon ' Icon for NotifyIcon
TrayNotifyIcon. Form = Me ' Form to restore when DoubleClick on Icon
TrayNotifyIcon. ContextMenu = TrayContextMenu ' ContextMenu for
RightClick on Icon
TrayNotifyIcon. Visible = True ' Show icon in TaskBar

' Show Balloon Tip
TrayNotifyIcon. ShowBalloon(Me. Text, "Line 1" + vbLf + "Line 2",
BalloonTip.Noti fyInfoFlags.Inf o, 1000)
End Sub
I want to change the three lines of code under the line "' Show Notify Icon"
to reference the other project's form.

Use an imports statement then a qualifier for form1, i.e., in your
Traynotificatio n project module where you want to call Outlook Monitor's
Form1,

Imports OutlookMonitor (or whatever the project is labeled in the solution
explorer)
Then to show the form;

OutlookMonitor. Form1.Show

I think this is what you need. Good Luck
