Another form's controls

[WadeD]

Hi, how can I set values for a progressbar on another form? I have a timer on one form that needs to show its progress from a common progressbar on another form. I know you can declare procedures as public to share them instead of the default private, but what about a control?

Thanks in advance,
Wade

I don't think you can, Even if you can't it kinda goes against the whole Idea of OO Programming, Just have a public property in your form something like

Public Property Let ProgressBarValue (Data as Integer)

    ProgressBar1.Value = Data

End Property

Public Property Get ProgressBarValue as Long

    ProgressBarValue = ProgressBar1.Value

End Property

Hope this helps

Hello Wade,

If you really want to, use something like this.

from the timer:

frmMain.ProgressBar1.Value = YourValue


Hope this helps,

If I use a procedure, it works great. Thanks for the help.
