How to reference a control from another vb.net form?

[JenHu]

Hi all,

I have a checkbox cboxProcessRet in my VB.NET windows application's
main.vb as following, so how can I use reference this checkbox in
moduleA.vb?

I want to use it in a function in the module, it said cboxProcessRet
is not declared
(If cboxProcessRet.Checked = True )
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Public Class frmMain
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer
Friend WithEvents cboxProcessRet As System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub
InitializeComponent()
Me.cboxProcessRet = New System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox

Is the control declared as public? If it is, you can access it directly.

Rather than create a public control, create a property to change the value
of the control.

Your post is titled "Form" to Form" and the text says "Module" which is it?

Here's form to form

FormA:

Private Sub butshowotherform_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) _
Handles butShowOtherForm.Click

Dim fb As New FormB
fb.ShowDialog()
MsgBox(fb.ThisIsTheCheckBox.Checked.ToString)
fb.Dispose()
fb = Nothing
End Sub


public readonly property ThisIsMyCheckBox() as checkbox

FormB:

Friend ReadOnly Property ThisIsTheCheckBox() As CheckBox
Get
Return chkMyBox
End Get
End Property

That passes the checkbox. You could also just expose a BoxIsChecked
property thaqt returns a bool.

Hope that helps
