Text Box .text Property Displays conflicting Valus

Here is the Problem:

I created a user control called PersonalDetails,

Then in the code for the main form for a button (called 'new person') I added this code:

Code:

ObjPersonalDetails = New PersonalDetails

Later I asked the computer to:

Code:

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        If ObjPersonalDetails IsNot Nothing Then
            MsgBox(ObjPersonalDetails.TextBoxAddress.Text)
        End If
    End Sub

when I clicked the right button:
the mesage box stated "11432 FM 957"
However In the code of personaldetails I included this:

Code:

Private Sub TextBoxAddress_MouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles TextBoxAddress.MouseClick
        MsgBox(TextBoxAddress.Text)


    End Sub

When I clicked button1 msgbox: "11432 FM 957"
When I cliked on TextBoxAddress msgBox: ""

Does anyone know what is going on?

hello joshua,
try this in place of what u have

Private Sub TextBoxAddress_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles TextBoxAddress.Click
MsgBox(TextBoxAddress.Text)
End Sub

use the click event instead of the mouseclick event which u are using
hope this works

sorry it should be this

Private Sub TextBoxAddress_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBoxAddress.Click
MsgBox(TextBoxAddress.Text)
End Sub

Thanks, but that's not the problem,

The problem is that the same text box has two different values.
If you address it from the main form it says that the .text property is:

"11432 FM 957"

while if you adress it from it's own control it says that the .text property is :

""
