Form instancing question

Basically, I have three forms

One is the mdi parent, one's a single time status window and the third will be resusable for channel windows.

Basically i'd like to know how to reference the status form so that all of the project can access it, i.e. my modules and other forms

but without having to create another instance of it


thanks

That many people and none of you can / will help

Well, perhaps it was terrible explanation of your problem... just a guess... ;)

single-time status window... single time-status window?


Here's my solution:
Just instantiate it at the beginning of your project.... in your Super code...

Seeing it was posted at 12 am I think that's a fair enough excuse :p

Thanks for the help, i'd already worked it out the other day :)

VB Code:

Public Main As New frmMain
    Public Status As New frmStatus

Now for the next question:

If I have a form that is going to be dynamically loaded every time certain data is received from a server, how can I reference these in an index.

I.e. each form will be "linked" / responsible for a channel

then, when data comes for that channel, I want to affect the appropriate form?

I was thinking of using the tag property of the created form, but then what collection would I be looping through to find the appropriate form?

Hope thats at least a bit more coherent :P
