Parent - Child Question

[truptidalia]

Hello,

I have a Parent Form and a Child form. In Child form, I perform some search and store the data in Dataset. I want to pass that Dataset in the parent form.

This is the way i have coded
' Parent Form
Private Sub ShowSrch()
srchDt = New SearchForm(main Con)
srchDt.TopLevel = False
srchDt.Parent = Me
srchDt.SetBound s(0, 30, srchDt.Width(), srchDt.Height() )
srchDt.Show()
End Sub
Public Sub SetSearchedDs(B yVal sds As DataSet)
Me.searchedDs = sds
End Sub

In child, I tried Me.Parent. but couldn't find SetSearchedDS() . How do i set this, can anone assist me. Any help is appreciated.


Thanks

Try to get the callerwindow object ,try to get the control and assign the value
This way you can get the caller window

if (window.showMod alDialog) { callerWindowObj = dialogArguments ; } else { callerWindowObj = window.opener; }

Hi Terry,
You might need to typecast Me.Parent to your parent form
So in thour child form

frmParent parentForm = (frmParent)this.Parent;
parentForm.SetSearchedDS();

This will work....
the code is in c#, and below is a converted code (in vb) from one of the sites

Dim parentForm As frmParent = DirectCast(Me.Parent, frmParent) 
parentForm.SetSearchedDS()

cheers
