[Gambas-user] How to mention (in code) widgets which are in sub form , in the main fourm's code ?

[zxMarce]

You can also -instead of using variables- publish the required
methods/properties from a form, so other parts of the program can do
whatever you need in a more encapsulated way.

Assume Form1 needs to add text to a control on Form2. I would go as follows:

FORM2 CODE:
*  Public Sub AddText(newText As String)
    Listbox1.Add(newText)
    Me.Show  'This is optional.
  End*

FORM1 CODE:
*  Private $myF2 As New Form2
  [ ... more code ...]
  $myF2.AddText("Add This Text!")*

You can either have Form2 as a private object to Form1 as shown or it can be
set up in a global module as a global reference. Your choice.

Advantages are several: You can customize whatever you do with the text (in
the example) in one place only, or you can change the control
(*Form2.Listbox1* in this case) to a different type (*ListView* maybe?) and
not have to edit your whole program to adapt to the change.

HTH,
zxMarce.
