[2005] Get value From form called by User Control

[bullzzeye]

Hi,
I have a User Control (with user properties ) and form in one project. From a button on the User Control I open the form. I want when i close the form (with the red X on right top of the form) to get a value from the form (from a textbox for example, filled by user) and send it to the property of the user control.


(I make it work but with custom button on form , timers and flags, and i don't think that's the way. And i need to use the standard close button ) Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance.

You can use the FormClosing event of your form.

Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
        myUserControl.SomeProperty = Textbox1.Text
End Sub

This doesn't work for me. I can't get access to user control properties.

From User Control I open the form with

Form1.Show()

When I try in Form1

 UserControl. ......

no properties of the user control.


Maybe i open the form wrong way
