Hi, I have a form MainWindow and it populates a tab control with instances of mytab class.
mytab has a datagrid and when selections are made I need to change the contents of a label on the main form (lblInfo).
I have no problem getting the data to a variable but I can't find a way to access the labels properties to display my info from inside the code for mytab class.
How can I access this labels properties from the new class?
in vb6 I think it would have worked to write MainWindow.lblInfo = "whatever" but that doesn't work.
I tried initiating the main form as
public mainwin = new MainWindow
mainwin.show
then in the class go for mainwin.lblInfo
but this says mainwin is not declared. it may be inaccessible due to its protection level.
I feel like there is a concept I'm missing here. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
