Passing a value from one form to a datagrid on another form

Hai,

If your primary goal is to have a DateTimePicker (a calendar from which a user can select a date), you might probably look at the following link which addresses the issue of adding a datetimepicker in a datagrid.

Good luck

That is my primary goal but unfortunately, I have today to solve this problem and implement it through out my project.  This web sit is exactly what I will do in the future but time restraints have caused me to find a quick fix.  I’m trying to pass a value from a second form to the first's forms datagrid.

I Figured It out!!!!!
This is what I was missing.
I forgot to set the frmCalanders frmMain Object to the instance of it self on frmMain. I think I said that right.

Public Class frmCalander
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
    Public objForm As Object

       Private Sub Calander_DateSelected(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DateRangeEventArgs) Handles Calander.DateSelected


        frmMain.ActionItemDate.ActionItemDate = e.Start
        CType(objForm, frmMain).dgrdActionItem.Item(frmMain.GridHitTestInfo.ActionItemHitTestInfo.Row, frmMain.GridHitTestInfo.ActionItemHitTestInfo.Column) = e.Start
        'frmMain.dgrdActionItem.Item(frmMain.GridHitTestInfo.ActionItemHitTestInfo.Row, frmMain.GridHitTestInfo.ActionItemHitTestInfo.Column) = e.Start

        Me.Close()
    End Sub
End Class

Private Sub dgrdActionItem_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles dgrdActionItem.MouseDown
        Dim grdActionItem_RevisitDate As DataGrid = CType(sender, DataGrid)
        Dim HitTestInfo As System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.HitTestInfo
        HitTestInfo = grdActionItem_RevisitDate.HitTest(e.X, e.Y)
       
        If System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.HitTestType.Cell And HitTestInfo.Column = 1 Then
            Dim frmCalander As New frmCalander
            MsgBox(HitTestInfo.Column)
            GridHitTestInfo.ActionItemHitTestInfo = HitTestInfo

**************Here is the Line I was Missing********************************
            frmCalander.objForm = Me
********************************************************************
            frmCalander.TopMost = True
            frmCalander.Show()
            frmCalander.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal
            'grdActionItem_RevisitDate.Item(HitTestInfo.Row, HitTestInfo.Column) = ActionItemDate.ActionItemDate
        End If
    End Sub

Thanks karthikeyanTP  for that link I will use it in the future for more than just the datapicker.  I am assuming that it will work for combo boxs and other controls alike

Thanks
