Simple VB.NET control question 1

[mookie0001]

Hi everyone,

I know that there is probably a very easy way to do this, but I have yet to figure it out. Here is the basic scenario:

Form1 contains Label1
Form1 creates an instance of Form2

Form2 contains Button1
Form2.Button1.onClick needs to set Form1.Label1.Text = "something" (without creating a new instance of Form1 because I need to keep all other values as-is).

Your help is appreciated. Thanks!

are you closing Form2 on Click of Button1 as well???

No, here is a sample from the code I am using:

Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim form2 As New Form2()
form2.Show()
End Sub
End Class


Public Class Form2
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Form1.Label1.caption = "something" ' this does not work
End Sub
End Class

first of all there is no Caption property for Label contorl. It should be Text

Secondly you have to instantiate Form1

This isn't my actual code, I just posted psuedo code so that you could get the basic idea of what is going on...

I found the solution to my problem. In case anyone is interested:

Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim f2 As New Form2()
f2.Create(Me)
End Sub
End Class


Public Class Form2
Private m_fParent As Form1

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
m_fParent.Label1.Text = "something"
End Sub


Sub Create(ByVal fParent As Form1)
m_fParent = fParent
Me.Show()
End Sub
End Class
