Manipulate controls in another forms

[marcseys]

Hi,

I want to manipulate the content of a textbox in the first form with data of a second form.

To start I wrote

...
' F1
Dim F2 as new frm_form2
F2.textbox1.text = me.textbox1.text
F2.show


' So I change the text in the second form and press a button, which should return the data. But how do you do this?

Use methods in Form 2. Do not do direct manipulation.
'''Form1
Dim F2 as new frm_form2
Dim F2Text As String
F2Text = F2.GetText(me.textbox1.text)


'''Form 2
Private m_Text As String = String.Empty
Public Function GetText(txt as String) as STring
textbox1.Text = txt
me.hide
me.ShowDialog
Return m_Text
End Function

Private Sub btn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btn.Click
m_Text = TextBox1.Text
me.hide ' Allow execute after ShowDialog
End Sub
