Variables

[Tux]

I have 2 forms: FormA and FormB.
FormB contains a calendar and an OK button. FormB contains
a text box. When user choose a day from the calendar, and
click OK, I need the date from the calendar to be displayed in formB's text box. Do I have to declare a variable in a
module (to make it global) to handle that? other suggestion??

Thanks

To refer to a control on another form just use the form name and a . before the control name;

eg;

FormName.TextBox1.Text = "Hello"

so, in your example, the FormA button click event should be;

Sub CommandButton1_Click
FormB.TextBox1.Text = Calendar1.Value
End Sub

I've never used the calendar control so I'm not convinced .Value is the right property - if it isn't just change it to the appropriate property to retrieve the date.

From your question, it seems that all you need to do is to call your FormB as your parent object. Let me give you an example:

On FormA:


private sub Command1_Click

FormB.Text1.text = "Hello World!"

end sub


It's as easy as that.

Buzb is right (all 4 times :-)), the .VALUE property is the correct one to reference. But instead of using:

Sub CommandButton1_Click 
FormB.TextBox1.Text = Calendar1.Value 
End Sub

it's better to use:

Sub CommandButton1_Click 
FormB!TextBox1.Text = Calendar1.Value 
End Sub

If I remember correctly, the ! tells it that it is a control. the . can also be used to reference Variables. I can't remember who told me that though :-)

Buzby - you hit the SUBMIT button too many times didn't you? :-)

That is what I needed, thanks

To refer to a control in another form use the form's name before the control name (seperated with a .)

eg;

FormName.TextBox1.Text = "hello"

in your example - although I have never used the calendar control so .Value may not be the right property;

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click
FormB.TextBox1.Text = Calendar1.Value
End Sub

What the hell is going on.. I did indeed hit the submit button a few times but the message never appeared on the bulletin board so I did that old 'user-favourite' of trying again.. and whaddya know - suddenly they all appeared.
Sorry...

Buzby,

You know that you can delete those extra posts if you want, don't you?

All the best.
