I have a canvas class (AnaCanvas) that sits in a window.
I have experimented with that canvas class having a property (windowInhabited) and that property is the window in which it lives
When the window opens (the window that contains the canvas instance myAnaCanvas), the canvas instance windowInhabited.property is assigned the window
Using that concept, I am able to get the width and height of the window, when I want, within methods of the canvas class.
However, I would like to have the canvas control have access to other window controls (in my case a static text box)
That does not seem to work. Open Event of mainWindow Self.myAnaCanvas. windowInhabited = Me _________________ Some method of the AnaCanvas Dim widthValue As Integer widthValue = Me.windowInhabited.Width 'this works BUT Me.windowInhabited.staticText1.Text = "Frog" Does NOT work. Why? _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
