Updating control in FORM from MODULE

kevinv2u

Hi All! I'm new to these forums! I've been programming VB6 for some time now (2.5 years). In VB6 it was possible to do something like this from a module: List1.Additem "test" I can't seem to add anything to a listbox from a module in .NET. It does work in the form itself... What are the biggest differences with VB6 on this kind of stuff? >I know forms have to be declared first before you can access them. Thanks! Kevin,

Hi Kevin, did you try changing the "Modifier" property of your List1 to "Public". That might help .. try it. thanks... Baan.

There are many many differences between VB6 and VB.net, as VB6 wasn't entirely Object Orientated. If you are running from a module, and need to add an item to a listbox on a form, you would have to have this (assuming the form is a variable accessible by the module) frm.List1.AddItem("Test")
