Updating listview object from a popup form.

[MarkItZero]

Hello,

I have a main form which contains a listview, datetimepicker and a "Change Date" button. When the form is displayed, the listview is populated with datarows from the database based upon the selected date from the datetimepicker.

 

When the user clicks the "Change Date" button a small popup form is displayed which allows the user to select a new date and update the database with this value. When the user clicks "Save" on the popup form, the date is saved and the popup closes.

 

I would like to add a command to the "Save" procedure on the popup form which will cause the listview on the main form to refresh with the new values in the database. I am not exactly sure how to go about this.

 

Hopefully that makes sense.

 

Thank you!

You would need to either pass a reference from the main form to the pop-up form so the popup knows which form to update (look here for more info on that), or alternatively in the Main Form's button click event read the selected value from the popup (you could always expose the selection as a property) and act on it after the 'Save' button has been clicked.
