Knowing whats on other form..

[Lanc1988]

I am trying to find out how to write the code on a form that will check on another form I have to see what it is set as.

 

Example: I have a settings form (frmSettings) and on another form which I have as notepad (frmNotepad). On the notepad form I want it to know if a checkbox is checked and if it is carry out certain events, such as saving the text without them having to go to File then Save.

 

I have tried

If frmSettings.CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
'Events to carry out
End If

 

I have asked this question before and I have found it is very difficult for someone to try to post it and for it to work right for me.

 

So if someone could please make a very quick project in vb.net that does this and post it in these forums it would really be helpful.

i think you must declare a frmSettings variable on a module, then, on the Form_Load event of that form, set:

 

varfrmSettings = me

 

So you can use that variable to access that form members,

if it doesn't work then it something similar, but definitely you have to declare a frmSettings variable.

 

hope that helps
