from datagrid in one form to a textbox in another form

[Asgill]

this is a major major problem for me...i could fail my module if i dont implement this in my system!!

i've downloaded some examples from this site but i could not understand whats it doing..and how to implement it in my forms..im hoping some one out there can help me out here...it'll be one reall really appreciated help.

anyways this is my situation, i have frmQueue which has a datagrid showing only one column (ACCT ID) and another form named frmDiagnosis which has got a textbox called txtACCTID. the user clicks on the first cell in the datagrid in frmQueue and it gets loaded in the textbox in frmDiagnosis.

Question, is the problem getting the account id from the grid or is the problem displaying the data in the other form?

[Asgill]

its passing the data to the other which is the prblem, hope u can help me out here tewl

thx in advance

[Tewl]

is frmDiagnosis opened from frmQueue or visa vera or is there a third form?

You could try passing a reference of the other form in the constructor.

[Asgill]

frmQueue is opened from frmDiagnosis.

thx for the hint tewl..but if u dont mind could u show me an example with simle coding of the constructor??. im kinda new to the programming world

[Tewl]

frmQueue

// Reference variable

// When you want to add text to txtACCTID
// do parent.txtACCTID.Text = whatever

private frmDiagnosis parent;
// constructor
public frmQueue(frmDiagnosis p)
{
      this.parent = p;
}

frmDiagnosis open frmQueue

  // Open frmQueue passing reference of the frmDiagnosis
  frmQueue f = new frmQueue(this);
  f.Show();

that help?
