Update lables on other form

[Jerry]

Hi again,

I have two forms as controls. Both are on a main form and with a treeview I
switch back and forth between the two. On the first form is a calculation.
The result of this calculation should also be shown on the second form when
this is opened. The lables on the second form that need to be updated are on
a tabcontol. I've tried gotfocus, activated, visiblechanged and god knows
what else. The lables are changed only at the startup time of the program
but not when I switch back and forth with the treeview.

Any ideas?


Thanks,

Jerry

RE: Update lables on other form

Jerry,
I've done the same thing before. Kind a old school solution to your problem.
I just added a public method to each form to update the results.

public sub updatelabel(s as string)
label1.text = s
end updatelabel

Wow I then call updatelabel from anyother form.

form1.updatelab el(form3.textbo x2.text)
form2.updatelab el(form3.textbo x2.text)

Good Luck
DWS
