Hi all !
Was wondering...
How I can change Form1 properties ( such as text, height... ) from Form2.
I tried to do it like we do in vb.net for using procedures stored on another form ( delcaring variable as Form1 ) but it does not work

Any clues ?

You could add Friend methods on Form 1 like
Friend Function SetHeight(x as int)
and just call if from form2.

EDIT: Or you could just use it's public size property directly
f.Size = New Size(200, 200)

There is certainly something I don't understand...

Dim frm as new Form1

frm.setheight(200)

The code does not generates any error but they are no changes made on the hieght of the form.
I declared my function Public and Friend on Form1 with no results...Does this have something to do with NEW Keywork ?
I created Form2 from Form1 :

Dim frm as new Form2

frm.ShowDialog()

Is there any parameter I am missing ?
Please note that Form1 is an MDI Parent form and that form2 is a modal form used to log to the program ( username, password )

thx !

I suspect scoping issues have gotten the best of you see if my last post to this guy helps.

hurry up if not because I'm about to leave work

Actually, they are declared in 2 different scopes.
DO you have a quick example of control manipulation within forms ?
thx

Pls post the relevant code for showing frm.

Did you see in my other post how the declaration of the form is at the Class level. It can't be inside the subroutine itself. Who knows perhaps my suspicions were wrong but it'd be easier to diagnose if I could see the relevant code.
