WinForms Parameters

[Viswanathan S]

Hi All,

How to pass parameter to winform. From a menu there are several items. When
click on any item a form will be open. For opening a form i am giving some
parameters to the form.

When i use global variables, the value changed when a new form is opened. Is
there any other way to pass window parameters?


Thanks in Advance
S. Viswanathan

How do you want to pass them?

Do you want to transfer text for example from a parameter declared in form 1
to a textbox/label on form 2?

Microsoft doesn't recomment using global variables, which is in contrast to
the old VB 6 where they did tell people to use it.

Answer my two initial questions & I or anyone else will do our best to help
you

Viswanathan,

A form is a class, you can pass in the normal way that you pass information
to the instanced object to do that.

One is because you have in your form class created a sub new and than you
can do
Something as
Public sub New(byval myparama as integer, byval myparamb as integer)
myPrivateValueA = myparma
myPrivateValueB = myparmb
End sub
And than you do

Dim MyForm = MyFormClass(myparameterx, myparametery)

Or you have public properties in your form and than you can before you do
the show set those as
MyForm.myPublicPropertyA = myparama
MyForm.publicPropertyB = myparamb

I hope this helps,

Cor
