Form Variables

[Vipul Bhatt]

Clay can U please tell me how do I refer to variables declared (Public if required) in one form from other form opened as vbmodal.

Thanx in advance.

Vipul -

A commin way to access and share information between forms is the use of a property procedure.

1. In formA add a private form level variable
2. In formA add a property procedure that exposes the private variable
3. In formB access the property procedure.

VB.NET Example:

(FormA)
Private m_intMyValue as integer

Public Property MyProperty() As Integer
Get
Return m_intMyValue
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Boolean)
If m_intMyValue <> Value Then
m_intMyValue = Value
End If
End Set
End Property

(FormB)
dim intValue as integer = FormA.MyProperty

I hope that helps.
