Add a row to a listview from another form.
Posted on 2011-09-17
Dear Experts,
I have a main form named mainForm with a listview on it, and a toolbar-button
for calling a second form named StickyNotes. On the StickyNotes I have a txtbox
and a close button.
What I would like is when a user clicks on the toolbar-button to open form StickyNotes
and put some text into the textbox and the presses the close-button. A new row must
be inserted into the listview that resides on the mainForm with the text of the textbox
into the column lvcCaption.
As you can see I have done it myself only I don't how to get to the listview on the mainForm
from the StickyNotes form!
How can I do that?
Who knows the answer and is willing to help me?

Hi Peter,
you could expose the values you need as public properties of the StickyNotes class. In your StickyNotes_FormClosed method assign the proper values to these properties and once you are back inside your mainForm you can read the values of the properties to create a new entry in your ListView.
Hope that helps,
Frank

I had this code before, for using a single form.
But now I want to make use of multiple forms.

What do mean when you say "multiple forms"? Do you want to display more than one StickyNotes form at once?
What's wrong with the code in your last post?
