New in PB - please help

[bbone]

Hi!

I just started using PB and i'm using PB5. Don't ask why.
Problem is that i can't acces controls from one window to another, for example in window w_name:
w_name1.st_name.text = ... or
w_name2.dw_1.insertrow(0)

In both cases i get error message null object referenced. Can you please tell me why and how to do it?
Thanks!

thats how PB behaves...PB is different to VB.

correct way is to use open() or openwithparm() functions to open the window and then referenec the controls in the window

First, you must check if the window you are referencing is valid. Your code may look like this:

IF IsValid(w_name1) THEN
w_name1.st_name.text =
END IF

IF IsValid(w_name2) THEN
w_name2.dw_1.InsertRow(0)
END IF

Hope this will help.

Thank u!
I figured out that a window must be opened to access its controls.
