forms across projects in the same solution

[maged]

hi all,

I have made a new solution, with two projects inside it,

1 - A Windows Application

2 - a class library, i use to store routines so that i can use them in the next projects.

now , look .

i have the main midi form in the project no. 1 , but the routines in project no. 2 needs to have access to the instance of the main form from project no.1 so that it can show dialogues on it and so on.

if i make the main form as a separate class in a new project , then the main form will lose connection to it's childs ( Same Problem Again).

I tried to make a refernce of the project 1 but the compiler said that you can only reference DLL file / Projects.


I just need a technique to expose the type of the main midi form to other project in the same solution

THx i Advance

All you can do is pass a reference into the functions in Project 2. For instance:

Public Sub EatPasta(ByRef frmDisplay as Form)

Please excuse my lack of understanding but could you explain with exact code please?

What do you put in form1 of Project1 and form2 of Project2.?

since it's in the same solution, a reference should already be made to project x from project y i believe, shouldn't he be able to create an instance of that class (assuming it's public) and call it's methods (the function)?

well fellows, the problem is like that


in the library project

[vb/code]

public sub tryx ( xx as form)
{
' Some Code Here
}

[/Highlight]

The problem when executing that i pass a specific kind of form
like this

dim x as new frmmain
tryx (x)       '''''''ERROR Appears HEre - Type is not the same (Form <> frmmain) , and of course i cant see the frmmain type from the library project and i will not make two identical copies of the main form as it is very stupid.

THX in advance for your interests

Have you tried to do that yourself?
