Hi there,

is there a way to access the public properties of a childform after being called by the parent with a childform-dialog like:

Dim nKunr as integer = 0

if me.childformxy.showdialog = dialogresult.ok

...nKunr = childformxy.nKundennr

Best regards

No, there isn't, sorry.  The ChildFormDialog disposes of the created child dialog before the ShowDialog() method exits.  If you need to pass data back out of the child dialog, you could create a "parameters" class that is passed to the child form.  The child form could then set the values you need on it.  Since a class is a reference type, the object will have the values after the ShowDialog() method exits.

Hi Ben,

thanks for your help.

Best regards

Hi Ben,

after trying it, I found problem:

Internal Class MyParams

   Public nKunr As Integer End Class

'-- Child form's constructor Public Sub New(p As MyParams)    '-- Save off the params to set the value End Sub

'-- Show dialog Dim p As New MyParams If Me.childformxy.ShowDialog(p) = DialogResult.OK    '-- p.nKunr has value that was set by the child form End If Your sample assumes that I add the needed value in the new-method but what to do with the parameter-class if I have to set the values in another procedure? I don't have access to the object outside the new-method? Best regards Thomas  

You will have to save off the reference in a private field of the child dialog.

Hi Ben,

thanks a lot, I've got it working.

Best regards

Thomas
