[RESOLVED] Form class variables and static functions

[Wokawidget]

In answer to your question about referencing a form thats not active, you would need to use the following code:

            foreach (Form1 myForm in Application.OpenForms)
            {
               //basing it on only having 1 form1 open
                int myVar = myForm.Varible1;
            }

If your form is using variables that are used globally then maybe you should think about storing them in a shared class...

Would you mind a quick explantion of a shared class? I'm not familiar with classes, I'm just beginning to understand them, so I don't really know the difference between partial, shared, etc, and how/when/why to use each.
