accessing variable 1

[kokon]

Please help me, I cannot access variable or checkbox state from another class. My code is:

Form1 kol = new Form1();
if (kol.checkBox1.Checked) StartVpnCon();
MessageBox.Show(kol.checkBox1.Checked.ToString());
-----------
But MessageBox always show "false" no matter of the real checkbox state.

you have to expose that property through your form:

public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
private CheckBox checkBox1 = new CheckBox();

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponents();
}

public bool StartVPNIsChecked
{
get
{
return checkBox1.Checked;
}
}
}


if (kol.StartVPNIsChecked == true)
{
MessageBox.Show("VPN Checkbox Is Checked");
}

Sorry but its not working, maybe because the :
---------
if (kol.StartVPNIsChecked == true)
{
MessageBox.Show("VPN Checkbox Is Checked");
}
---------
is called from another thread also.

ah!

Threading is wonderful


Your new thread should not need to pull data from a gui item on the main thread. You might want to re-consider your architecture.

You should be able to set a value on the thread when the checkbox status changes though.
