I have a value in my parent form which i want to share to my Child form. But i cannot get it to do this for me since i just started learning VB two months ago.

Help Please

Or is this not possible?

there are many ways to share values, depending on the complexity of the application.
The easiest way (because you are just learning) is to declare the variable Public in the MDI form:

Public MyValue as Whatever

You can access this value everywhere in the code using

myMDI.MyValue

where myMDI is the name of the MDI form

Or just put the public declration in a module in the project and pass it around.

 Doesn't VB sometimes complain about public variables in a forms code?

Ok thanks
now I have another problem
I have the text on a button thats randomized and want to share that text to another form
so would i write something like

Public btnNumber.text as what???

You can't declare a property of a component as a variable!!!
Declare a public property, and in the bodu just return the text of the button:

public property get MyText() as string
MyText = btnNumber.text
end property

BTW .text is a property of the .NET command button, not VB6. What are you using?

Marco

not as I know... in fact I do it al the time. A form is just a class with a user interface.

Ok, just had a doubt. Thanks for clearing it Marco.
