Hi there,
Possibly something of a simple question but I was wondering is anyone could
provide a few pointers or links.
Given that I have two forms, a main (frmMain) and a child (frmChild). From
frmMain, I create an instance of frmChild and show() it. The child form
contains a property called "getString" which I want to return the contents
of a textbox from the child form.
I have something that I think works, however it falls over if the user exits
the child form (such as by using the corner cross) instead of clicking
cmdReturnData.
I was just wondering if I am on the right lines - creating properties and so
on for the child form seem pretty intuititive but actually calling them from
the main form trouble free seems to be a pain.
Apologies if this is a little vague - I'm working on my .net having moved
from vb6 so I'm still trying to get used to the way that .net works...
Thanks
Chris.
