[Gambas-user] Communicating to hosted forms...

[Stephen]

    When, at the project level, all controls on all forms are set to be 
public, the 'Public' property for each control on each form continues to 
indicate that it is NOT Public. This is misleading.

   The 'Public' property of all controls should reflect the reality, 
that it is publicly visible, and that property should then be made 
uneditable. A tool-tip might have to be put in to explain why it is 
uneditable, i.e. that the property was set at the project level.

   The only way that I can see out of my conundrum is to create a 
property in in each form to which updated information is to be pushed. 
The property write will process the received data and put it where it 
needs to go. It promises to be a pain in the neck to implement but will 
give more granular control, it may also make maintenance a nightmare, so 
I'll have to give this more thought.

   Once again, thanks for the assistance.
