run event on other form

[Saladin]

Hi

VB.Net Desktop

What's a good way to run an event on a different form? I've got a form 'on
top' and when I click a button I's like the underlying form to reload.

Thanks
Graeme

explicitly calling the method is the easiest way (you, generally,
cannot raise the event directly, but a method call should work -- check
the access modifier though)

Saladin,

When you place globaly
\\\
private withevents mynewform as new form2
///
Than you can catch the events from that form (the top not its controls).
Therefore you can create on that in form2 an own event
\\\
public event myevent
///
And when it is needed
\\\
raiseevent myevent
///
However in the way you describe it, it looks for me a confusing way of using
it in that way.

I hope this helps,

Cor

Thanks Cor. Most of the stuff I do is confusing, especially to me. But I
plod on and hopefully eventually get there! When I said 'reload' the
underlying form, I really just need to click a button to reload a datagrid.
So I'll see how I get on with your help. Cheers, Graeme
