[RESOLVED] how to call MonthCalendar1_DateSelected from another form

Hi Guys,

I have a month calendar on my form. under it's DateSelected Event I do a bunch of stuff. Now I want to call this event from another form. How can I do this?

Code:

---

Private Sub MonthCalendar1_DateSelected(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DateRangeEventArgs) Handles MonthCalendar1.DateSelected

....

End Sub

---

Change Private to Public (or Friend in your code) and call it:

vb.net Code:

' Must be known before the call is made
Dim startDate As Date = #1/1/2010#
Dim endDate As Date = #1/31/2010#
 
' Prepare the event arguments:
Dim e As New DateRangeEventArgs(startDate, endDate)
 
' FormName here is a placeholder for your actual form that contains your MonthCalendar.
Call FormName.MonthCalendar1_DateSelected(me, e)

thanks cicatrix:afrog:

I want the start and end date to be the current selected date of my month calendar. will try and figure it out now.

How about using properties

vb.net Code:

Public ReadOnly Property StartDate() As String
    Get
        Return txtStartDate.Text
    End Get
 
End Property
 
Public ReadOnly Property EndDate() As String
    Get
        Return txtEndDate.Text
    End Get
 
End Property

then call them from whereever

Code:

---

'form form2
txtStartDate.Text = Form1.StartDate
txtEndDate.Text = Form1.EndDate

---

thanks guys. problem has been resolved:wave:
