How do I pass lablel.text on one form to textbox.name on another form?

What version VB.Net are you using?   VB.Net 2003 or VB.Net 2005?

I'm guessing VB.Net 2003 since you seem to have your own "global" form collection called "clsGlobals"...but I could be wrong.

Sorry

I am using Vb.Net 2005

compact framework

Set the Modifiers for the control on the target form to Friend, and reference the control like this:

Dim lvi As ListViewItem = Form7.lsvList.Items(lsvList.SelectedIndices(0))

Bob

2005 should make it super easy then...

Something like:

    clsGlobals.Form7.Controls(lblText.Text) = lvi.SubItems(1).Text

This assumes that the control in question is contained DIRECTLY by the form itself.

If it is in another container, then you would need something like:

    clsGlobals.Form7.Panel1.Controls(lblText.Text) = lvi.SubItems(1).Text

Or you can "search" for the control using the Form as the root using the new Controls.Find() method.

The listview is on form21. I am trying to pass the selected subitem text value to a textbox on form7.

Form7's textbox name is = Form21's lblText.text

See here for an example of Controls.Find():
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/22687460/access-a-control-using-a-variable-as-its-name.html

If textbox control is placed on the Form (not on some container)

Form7.Controls[lblText.Text].Text = lvi.SubItems(1).Text

Idle_Mind I tried your solution but it all is blue underlined. The error generated is:

Property 'Item' is 'ReadOnly'

How have you declared "clsGlobals.Form7"

Why do you need this in 2005 anyways?  VB.Net 2005 allows you to work with the "default instance" of a form simply by referring to its name:
 
    Form7.Show()  ' <--- WITHOUT ever using "New Form7"

You can use "Form7" from ANYWHERE in the project to access this default instance of Form7.

This project started out in VB.2003 and then was upscaled to Vb.2005. I do not have the time to go back and change it all.

I declared as follows:

Public Class clsGlobals
#Region "Singleton Forms"
    Public Shared Form1 As Form1
    Public Shared Form2 As Form2
    Public Shared Form3 As Form3
    Public Shared Form4 As Form4
    Public Shared Form5 As Form5
    Public Shared Form6 As Form6
    Public Shared Form7 As Form7
    Public Shared Form8 As Form8
    Public Shared Form9 As Form9
    Public Shared Form10 As Form10
    Public Shared Form11 As Form11
    Public Shared Form12 As Form12
    Public Shared Form13 As Form13
    Public Shared Form14 As Form14
    Public Shared Form15 As Form15
    Public Shared Form16 As Form16
    Public Shared Form17 As Form17
    Public Shared Form18 As Form18
    Public Shared Form19 As Form19
    Public Shared Form20 As Form20
    Public Shared Form21 As Form21
#End Region
End Class

Sorry, the mistake was mine.

I forgot to put the ".Text" in there after Controls().

So change this:

    clsGlobals.Form7.Controls(lblText.Text) = lvi.SubItems(1).Text

To:

    clsGlobals.Form7.Controls(lblText.Text).Text = lvi.SubItems(1).Text

Priest04 your solution generates the following error:
Property access must assign to the property or use its value

:) I was wirting it in c#, so I forgot to change brackets from [] to ().

Can you not pass By Ref?

Soory to take so long to get back on this. Something came up suddenly and I had to go...anyway I still can not get it to work properly.

This line: clsGlobals.Form7.Controls(lblText.Text).Text = lvi.SubItems(1).Text

gives an error: Conversion from string "County" to type 'Integer' is not valid.

Where County was the name of the textbox for this example.

       Dim lvi As ListViewItem = lsvList.Items(lsvList.SelectedIndices(0))
        Form7.Controls(lblText.Text).Text = lvi.SubItems(1).Text
        Form7.Show()
        Me.Close()

Sorry... here is the code now with the clsGlobals class removed. Same result though

Error: Conversion from string "County" to type 'Integer' is not valid.

I tried it by sending to an established textbox called txtProduct and it worked ( Form7.txtProduct.Text = lvi.SubItems(1).Text ) so I do not know where it is failing.

DateTimePciker.Format = Custom, DateTimePciker.CustomFormat = HH:mm

Place this code in form load event

if textBox1.Text = "" then
    dateTimePicker1.Value = new DateTime(2007,1,1,0,0,0); // we need to pass any year, month and day
else
    dim textBoxDate as DateTime
    if DateTime.TryParse(textBox1.Text, textBoxDate) then
        dateTimePicker1.Value = textBoxDate
    else
        MessageBox.Show("Unrecognized time format!")
    end if
end if

Just for info, value is not just time, but date + time. It only displays time part of the full date.

Goran

Ahhh, I again forgot to translate [] to (). It shoud be

frm.Controls(i).Text = lvi.SubItems(1).Text

Goran

Thanks for the help. It is working now.

Sorry PBLack, I don't know how I missed at the top where you indicated this was for the "compact framework"...   =\
