Module accessing a forms controls

[sc5502]

I have a form named CurrentFY that has a groupbox on it. The groupbox name is gpb_PDF. CurrentFY calls a module named Excel2PDF. Can I reference the gpb_PDF while in Excel2PDF and if it can how do I go about it?

Thanks in advance.

Absolutely. Just specify the groupbox like this within your module:

CurrentFY.gpb_PDF.Text

You should pass the GroupBox control to the sub or function in the Module through a parameter. For example, in the Module you would add a parameter to the sub/function like this...

Module Module1
    Public Sub DoSomething(gbx As GroupBox)

        gbx.BackColor = Color.Red 'access the GroupBox through the (gbx) parameter

    End Sub
End Module

Then from the Form, you would pass the GroupBox to the sub/function when you call it...

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Module1.DoSomething(GroupBox1)
    End Sub
