2 forms, onClose event...

[gmatteson]

I have 2 forms, on the close event of the second form, i am trying to make it set the lable on form one blank...

i have tried...

dim form1 as new form1()

form1.label.text = "" but when i close the form it doesn't clear out the lable, is this because this is another instance of the form? if i take out the NEW in the dim statement then i get the error, there is no instance of the object...etc...
any idea?

again the story of passing data between forms. Search this forum for data across two forms or something like that, you will find the answer.

Hello, I agree there are prolly hunerds of links for this but, here goes


on form 1:

Public Shared newtitle As String

Private Sub Form1_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Activated
Me.Text = newtitle
End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim frm_form2 As New Form2()
frm_form2.Show()
End Sub


on form 2:




Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Form1.newtitle = Me.TextBox1.Text
Me.Close()
End Sub


Hope that helps

Sorry, I didn't realize it was called "passing data between forms" because I'm not actually passing data as in a variable, just calling something.. i appologize
