Accessing forms controls in module

Phil

Hi all,

If I remember correctly, in VB you can refer to your controls from a module
simply by referring to ControlContainer, ie. Form1.Textbox1.Text =
"something".

I have added a module to my project in .Net and I cannot access any of my
controls in Form1. In fact referring to Form1 brings up a very limited list
of properties. How do I get at my controls and properties?

Thanks,

Phil

Declare your form in your module, that's the only solution I know.
So in your module you type somewhere:
dim MyForm as new frmMyForm

and than you can in the module refer to all the methods ans properties by
using MyForm.fntMyFunction etc

Hope this helps, Pieter
