[RESOLVED] how to call MonthCalendar1_DateSelected from another form

[Nitesh]

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?

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:

' 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)

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

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

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