    [2005] updating ToolStripStatusLabel1 from a 2nd form

    Hi Guys

    I have 2 forms.

    Main_form has a StatusStrip1 with ToolStripStatusLabel1 I would like to update this label with lat and Long information

    GPS form contains the serial port and all the GPS information
    when ever I get a new GPS message I call public sub Update_status_bar
    located in main_form

    I don't get any errors but no data in the ToolStripStatusLabel1


    Public Sub update_status_bar()

    Dim temp As String

    temp = Lat_Dec & " " & Long_Dec
    SetTextBoxText(temp)

    End Sub

    Public Delegate Sub SetTextBoxTextDelegate(ByVal text As String)

    public Sub SetTextBoxText(ByVal text As String)

    If Me.StatusStrip1.InvokeRequired Then
    'This is a worker thread so create a delegate to cross the thread boundary.
    Me.StatusStrip1.Invoke(New SetTextBoxTextDelegate(AddressOf SetTextBoxText), ToolStripStatusLabel1.Text = text)
    Else
    'This is the UI thread so access the control's members directly.
    Me.ToolStripStatusLabel1.Text = text

    End If
    Me.StatusStrip1.Refresh()

    End Sub

    any Ideas?
