how can I get the content of a textbox into a public array

[Jan]

I tried to do it on the following way:

public tempArray() as string = textbox1.lines

this works fine in the actuell form2, but I want to ship the content to
form1. So i declared tempArray in a module but I get a error message on
textbox1.lines. I have to declare it, but it is a textbox in form2.

Is there anyone outhere who can help me out??

Thank you very much

Yes, declare the array in form one and reference it from form2

form1.tempArray = textbox1.lines

Hi Jan,

On the assumption that you will only have one Form2, a quick fix is to
declare tempArray as Shared. That way you can access it from Form1 very
simply.

In Form2
Public Shared txtboxLines(0) As String 'it's hardly temp!!

Sub SomethingOrOther
txtboxLines = TextBox1.Lines

In Form1
Sub AndAnother
Dim S As String
For Each S In Form2.txtboxLines
Console.WriteLine (S)

Hi OHM,

Oops! Where does Form2 get Form1 from?

Actually, I was ( Assuming that form1 was the parent ) and implying the
parent. me.parent. etc
