Call function from second form to base form

[GeertL]

Hi,

I think this is a very common problem :

I have a main form with a listview. From this form i call a second form
to add items to this list. (input form)

Private Sub cmdOpmerkingToevoegen_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdOpmerkingToevoegen.Click
Dim frmProblem As New FrmAddProblem
frmProblem.Show()
End Sub

i have a subroutine on the main form that fills the listview with
items. The problem is when i add a new item i can't automaticly fill
the list in the mainform. How can i achieve this. Can i call the
routine Filllist() from the second form (frmproblem) ??

Any ideas anyone ?

Tnx in advance
Geert

Just create a property in the second form to accept a value of type Form or
Form1.

Cast this property to Form1 (or use it directly) to access the public
members and methods of the form.
