Before in VB 6 I used to reference for examplea progressbar1 doin the
following

Form1.ProgressBar1.val =1

Now how do I refrence a control for a module if the control is in a
different form

Thanks

You will have to pass a reference to the form in order to change the
control's properties. How this can be done, depends on the scenario:
If you are showing the 2nd form from your main form which contains the
progressbar, you can add a property of the type of the main form to your
dialog and set this property to reference the main form instance before
showing the 2nd form.
 
Do you have any sample code ?

Hi Armin,

I ask that before on Herfried, you know I never get answers from him, have
to use another name for that.

What does that

Mean instead of a :-) or a :-(

Yes, I am crying. I don't have any hairs on my head any more... But I
am still waiting for your article!

Sorry, my newsreader has problems showing old threads, that's why I
sometimes miss your posts if you are replying to a thread which is more
than ~30 hours old. I feel sorry for that!

I know it's possible to write a book about that. If you write chapters
1-12, then I'll write the preface.

;-)
 
Write?

or Paste?

I think Armin writes easier that 12 chapters than you the preface

Just Kidding

Do you want to write a chapter too? Maybe the web forms part?

Just kidding too.

If he has a free server I make it from him if he wants.

Not that much work, and if he has IIS and aspnet, than real full aspx.
