You would not want this, when you want to use data on more forms, than
create objects that can be a datasource which you pass between the forms.

The approach you take now will be proven lead only to unmaintable spaghetti
software.

It is possible and can be done, however in the way you ask it, is the change
on errors will be in my opinion enormous.

Just my thought,

A nice sample is on this page.

listcontrols are the combobox and listbox those two work almost the same.

I hope this helps
