Two forms

[Max]

Hi,
I have two forms. the one is created from the other:

Dim frmPicture As Form
frmPicture = New frmPicture()

frmPicture.ShowDialog

My idea is that before showing I want to put a picture in a picturebox on
the frmPicture form a file.

frmPicture.pctPicture.Image.FromFile(strFile)

But I don't have access to it. Tells me that pctPicture is not a member of
the System.Windows.Forms.Form, which is the absolute true.

What is the way to do it?

Thanks
Max

If I am understanding your intention I think you can just do the following.

Dim NewForm As New frmPicture
NewForm.pctPicture.Image etc etc

Max: You'll also need to declare pctPicture as Public in frmPicture.

You need to declare it as Public, I have trouble with that as well.
