Filling textbox on Form1 with combobox text from Form2

[insanevbr]

Hi,

I am trying to populate information selected from a combobox on frmTradeListing to a textbox on frmTradeSummary.

When I select the combobox it closes frmTradeListing but then the text doesn't transfer to the textbox on frmTradeSummary.

Here is a sample of the code:

Private Sub cboMyCombo_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboMyCombo.SelectedIndexChanged
Dim frmMain as New frmTradeSummary
With Me
frmMain.txtTrades.Text = .cboMyCombo.Text
End With
End Sub

Please help.

I'm not sure how to reference it directly, but here is one way to acomplish what you are trying.

'in frmTradeSummary
Public Shared sValue as String
Protected Overrides Sub OnGotFocus(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
txtTrades.Text = sValue
End Sub

'in frmTradeListing
Private Sub cboMyCombo_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboMyCombo.SelectedIndexChanged
Dim frmMain as New frmTradeSummary
frmMain.sValue = cboMyCombo.Text
End Sub

Is frmMain open when you do this? If it is then you need to access the old already open instance of the form.

When you typed Dim frmMain as New frmTradeSummary you made a brand new instance of that form.

do something like me.parent to get the other form. If frmTradeListing is opened by frmMain that is. How you point to the other form depends on how you opened it and such.
Hope this points you in the right direction. That'l do donkey, that'l do
