How to pass parameter to second form?

[John Howard]

I am invoking a second form and would like to pass a parameter. My code is:

Private Sub btnHelp_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnHelp.Click

Dim frmAdminHelp As New frmAdminHelp

frmAdminHelp.Show()

End Sub


When the second form executes, it needs to know where it was called from.
How do I do this?

TIA,

John

Add a property to your 'frmAdminHelp' and set this property here.

Add a property to your 'frmAdminHelp' and set this property here.

And you could Override the Show() method in frmAdminHelp that calls the base
class Show() method and sets the property in one step, so you can do:

frmAdminHelp.Show(Me)

Me will be a reference to the calling form (the current form)
