Implementing Access-like search

[Guest]

Hello:

I have a Form (Form A) that has a datagrid.
When the user chooses to find a value, I open up a second form (Form B) (not
a dialog), wherein the user enters the search string, direction etc. When he
clicks on search, it executes a Search method on Form B. So, now both the
windows are shown and the user can continue the search and when successful,
the row pointer is changed accordingly.

I have no problem doing it. But I don't know how to make this generic so it
can be used in any Form that has a grid and needs this functionality.

So, within FormB, the Search function is coded as:

FormA.Search

But when generic, FormA could be any form that provides this functionality.
How can I generalize it?

Thanks.

Vvenk,

In my opinion is this almost the same question as you have sand later,
please do not do that, it makes it almost impossible to get a good
discussion about your problem and therefore useless in my opinion to answer
you.

When someone knows the answer he will answer you here.

Because of the sentence above I do not answer it here.
