multiple forms

[JoshK]

I saw a post about this already but it was in c# so no I am asking for VB.NET

 

how can I do something like this

 

 

dim dialog as object

 

private sub go()

dialog = new frmdialog

end sub

 

private sub check()

msgbox(dialog.textbox1.text)

end sub

 

so I have a dialog box where someone can type something into textbox1, then when an event is triggered on frmMain I want to pop up a messagebox showing the contents of textbox1 from a different form.

Assuming dialog is a form object that is declared globally (i.e. outside of a method) you can use the exact code you posted.

 

EDIT:- Also the textbox value must be a public property in the dialog.
