In VB6 you were able to pass an obj from one form and give it a value in a
module and/or other form

in VB 6 the code was  form1.textbox.text = form2.textbox4.text

Now How do you do this in VB.Net

Thanks

Hi,
In VB.NET you have declare objects of the form types.
Dim f1 as new Form1()
Dim  f2 as new Form2()

If you want to access one form in another you can do it as follows:
- Create a constructor in second form that accepts first form type as
parameter. Then set some local variable to the passed value.
- Make form variables global to the application so that you can access them
from any form.

Thanks.

Hi,
In VB.NET you can achieve the desired result by passing an instance of a
form to a module and setting the forms properties or accessing forms
controls from it.
Following code will make things clear

Form1 with TextBox1, Button1

In Module
Sub SetFormTextBox(ByRef o As Object)
o.TextBox1.Text = "From Module"
End Sub

This code will change the value of textbox1.text property of the passed form
to "From Module"

Hope this helps you.

Hi,

It can be any of the following
* The form or module can receive the Object ref. in the constructor or in a
method call.
eg:

Sub SetData(ByRef o as Form)
Form1 frm = Ctype(o,Form1)
frm.txtName.Text="abc"
' here txtName is a textbox in Form1
End Sub

* In Form1 u could define shared or instance level properties that can be
accessed in a module or another form

Sub SomeMethod()
Dim o as new Form1()
o.txtName="Abc"
o.Show()
End Sub

Sub SomeMethod()
dim o as Form1
o.SharedProperty ="Abc"

End Sub
