Multi Threading - [RESOLVED]

[mik706]

I have just started to look at multi-threaded apps after seeing Wokawidget's example. I was just wondering how you could refer to an object on the form frmThreadObject (MyThread) if you were to add some more functionality to the app and add a module/class etc.
ie under normal circumstances if you have a label on the form and you wished to modify the text from a module you could use :
frmThreadObject.lblInfo.Caption = "new text"
However as in this example the form is named on creation, frmThreadObject wouldn’t exist.

Any help to enlighten me would be much appreciated.

You could store the form as a varible in a module?

Option Explicit
 
Public gfrmMain   As frmThreadObject

Then in the form load event u would have:

Set gfrmMain = Me

and in the unload event have:

Set gfrmMain = Nothing

Make sense?
Then to change the caption you would use:

gfrmMain.lblMyLabel.Caption = "Woof"

Although why would you want to do this?
I am sure there is a logical explanation...I am just tired

Thanks for your reply, there is no logical reason in wanting to perform the example i gave but i couldn't work out how to reference the form, but as you have kindly provided me with the answer that is no longer a problem. Thanks again.
