Accessing form components from class

[sethindeed]

I am trying to access some form controls from one of the class I created.

 

I tried to declare a temp variable as Form1 but when the program reach the following instruction :

 

Me.Text = tmpForm1.Listbox1.SelectedItem

 

I am getting an error that told me that my object is not instanced...

Any ideas ?

As reference :

 

If you declare the variable used to contain your form in a module, you will be able to use your form components from a separate class.

Thanx god ! :)

[bpayne111]

you could pass the form as a parameter to the class

if you plan on changing these values use ByRef instead of ByVal for your form parameter

 

just a suggestion

A Form object will be passed by reference no matter how you declare the parameter.

[UCM]

try setting your created class as the startup class and create a new instance of each form you wish to use in the code of your created class with:

 

public myForm1 as New form1

 

and then reference that variable in form1's code with the namespace of your project such as:

 

myProject1.myClass1.myForm1.blahblahblah

 

I used a module class to achieve this, see This Thread and scroll to the very end to get the latest working copy after all of the slight modifications...
