property access

[mookie]

i have a filelist control that i am using to display all of the folders and files on my computer. I would like to add to it a "pattern" property.

 

the problem is that when i set the property, the property "function" gets executed again and i end up with a stack overflow.

 

Im also confused as what i need to do in order to retrieve this value from a different form. I was able to if i defined the property as shared, but i dont know if this is the way to go.

Any chance you could post the relevant code? By the sound of it you are refering to the property name from inside the property e.g.

Public ReadOnly Property Test as Integer
Get
return test
end get
end property

what you would need to do is use some other way to store an internal value for the property

e.g.

private _test as integer
Public ReadOnly Property Test as Integer
Get
return _test
end get
end property

(sorry if the code is not exact, don't have VS on this PC)
