Form load

[pjackson18]

I'm calling a form with the show method, i would like to pass in a value from the calling form to the called form, to be used in form_load event. How can I do this?

First you need to create the form before calling the Show() method. Then you can pass the values either by creating parameters in the called form, or creating a function that receives parameter in the called form. Another way is to create a new constructor of the form that accepts parameters.

In the called form, you declaire a public shared variable like: Public Shared myVar In the calling form you will: Dim mf as New CalledForm mf.myVar = ..... mf.ShowDialog() mf.Dispose() Is this your need?

That's wrong. There is no need for the variable to be static ( shared ). Also, it's much nicer to pass it through a constructor, although a public variable will work.
