Accessing another forms controls

[Tim Fitzgerald]

Hello all,

I have no problem accessing another form in my app.. however, when I try to
access a ListView on a different form, I come up empty... Basically,

Dim pForm As New frmMain
Dim iCount As Integer

iCount = pForm.lvJobList.Items.Count

iCount is zero? Yes, there are items there. :)

All I want to do is update the ListView item if the user modifies a job in
any way or add an item to the ListView if the user adds a new job (all this,
"before" the child form is closed)..

Thanks..

Ensure the access modier is set to freind and then access it through the
form. If it is the parent then

me.parentform.control.TheMethodYouNeed()

OHM,

Thanks for the response.. However, I could not accomplish what I needed to
using your example. I "think" ParentForm is used in a MDI scenario.

What I did get to work was:

Me.Owner.Controls.Item

I just iterated through each one until I found the control I needed to
manipulate.

Thanks!
