control objects from another form

[Talk2Tom11]

I was wondering if it is possible to change the properties of something on one form, from a button on another form. For example: if I click bnt1 on form2, it will make txtbox1.enabled = true.

you may want to look here as it covers the basic ideas needed for working with multiple forms.

thank you for the thread, but in there code which is this:

 

 Public Class Form1
 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

 ' Windows Forms Designer generated code region

 Private otherForm As New Form2()

 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _ 
   ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

   otherForm.Text = "Foo"
   otherForm.Show()
 End Sub

End Class

they change the text of form2.... where I want to change a label's text on form2. I tried the following code

 

otherform.label1.text = "Hello"

 

when I used that, I didn;t get any errors, but it didn't work... does anyone have an idea as to why.

Either make the label itself public - not very OO though, or create a public property that changes / retreives the label's text - much more OO.
