I am just learning and I am stuck

I want to use 2 forms to start with. Just for simplicity, assume Form 1 has just a textbox and a buton that links to form2. Form2 would have a label1. I want label1 on form2 to display the text typed in textbox1. I have tried creating a module that would name the text in textbox1 as a public string. THen tried to have label1 = variable. But it isn't working. Any help would really be appreciated.

Hi Russ, welcome to the forums.

To make it easy for people to answer your question, can u plz state the language/platform and a brief desc of your problem in the Subject.

thanks

It sounds like the language you are using is VB. If it is, you can try the following:

Form1
textbox
button
Form2
label1

In the load/activate (depending) event of form2, place the code:
label1.caption = form1.textbox1.text

guys i really think the forum should be restructured...like following

-asp.net/C#/VB.NET/Winform/WebServcices etc
- PHP
- MYSQL
-MSSQL
-ASP/VB
- JAva/Oracle


what do u think
