    Posted: 23 June 2004 at 5:23am

I am having a problem updating controls on a different form.

In my application I have a central form which contains items. The idea is that when you click on one of the items in the main form the docked windows will all update showing their respective data about the item you click on.

Here is an example of what I mean. This Sub has no result and I would expect it to update  label1 on the preview form with the word test.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    formPreview.Label1 = "TEST"
    formPreview.Label1.Refresh
End Sub

I tried making the sub on the child window and then doing the call like this but it causes the program to crash.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    formPreview.UpdateLabel
End Sub

Any help appreciated.

formPreview is nothing I guess. You must use the form you attached to docking pane.

User Error

I had forgotten I was working with an instance of the form and not the form itself.

Time for me to rename my variables I think so I dont do this again.

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Public frmPanePreview As formPreview

 

I had this :

formPreview.Text1.Text = Now         

 

Now I have this:

frmPanePreview.Text1.Text = Now
