ParentForm

I created 2 forms formA and formB.
FormB is created by formA.
I need to refer to formA from formB.
There is this property called “ParentForm” can that be used?

The ParentForm property gets the parent of a MDI child.

A way for you migth be to keep a reference. You could do that by creating your own Sub New for your FormB where you pass a reference to the Form as an argument.

Code:

---

#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "

    Dim mainForm As FormA

    Public Sub New(ByVal mForm)
        MyBase.New()

        'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
        InitializeComponent()

        'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
        mainForm = mForm

    End Sub

---

You then use something like this from FormA:

Code:

---

Dim frm As New FormB(Me)
frm.Show()

---

You then have a reference to the Form via the mainForm variable.
