[email protected] · October 25th, 2007, 02:09 PM

Hi All,

I have a Form in and a class, I need to access a control on Form1 from a other class. So i can populate the data in those control using other class. Please Help! if possibile please show some code.

I.e--> //Both classes in same project

class Form1
{

//All control in this class
ListBox list1 = new ListBox();
TextBox box1 = new TextBox();

}

class myClass
{

//Need to access a control of Form1 and fill with data, lets say we want fill list1 and set bo1.Text =

}

Why don't you expose a public property on Form1 that will allow you to access the data then trying to access the controls?

Dear friend there is 2 way but I guess u forgot something:
U cant use them in body of class I mean like this

Code:

class myClass
{
    bo1.Text = ...
}

& inorder to access them u shoul duse them in Methods of class like:

Code:

class myClass
{
    public myClass()
{
bo1.Text = ...
}}

[u]& thoes 2 ways</u>
1.

Code:

    class Form1
    {
        //All control in this class
        public ListBox list1 = new ListBox();
        public TextBox box1 = new TextBox();
    }

Code:

    class MyClass
    {
        public MyClass()
        {
            Form1 F1 = new Form1();
            Form1.box1 = 1;
        }
    }

2.

Code:

    static class Form1
    {
        //All control in this class
        public static ListBox list1 = new ListBox();
        public static TextBox box1 = new TextBox();
    }

Code:

        public MyClass()
        {
            Form1.box1 = ...;
        }
