[RESOLVED] Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference

[jmcilhinney]

I think you want something like this:

Class myButton_Class
    Inherits Button
 
    Public myColor As New Color_Class(Me)
 
    Class Color_Class
 
        Private _button As myButton_Class
        Private _color As Color
 
        Sub change()
            Me._button.BackColor = _color
        End Sub
 
        Property color() As Color
            Get
                color = _color
            End Get
            Set(ByVal value As Color)
                _color = value
            End Set
        End Property
 
        Public Sub New(ByVal button As myButton_Class)
            Me._button = button
        End Sub
 
    End Class
 
End Class

Now the Color_Class object always has a reference to a myButton_Class object so it can set the BackColor property of that object. You now have an instance on which to access the non-Shared member.
