Ok I made a user control with an LED DISPLAY and with a textbox input under it, and the Led will show whatever time is in the textbox. The led works perfect. I coded the display.



Anyway when I put the the user control into another project how can I change textbox with the main project? I don't know how the access the textbox from the project. I am going to hide textbox when I get the bugs out of this.

I thought usercontrol1.textbox1.text = "" would work but it won't. If you understand what my problem is, please help me.

Thanks.

There are a couple of ways. But if this is just for debugging/testing, suggest using the KISS principle: form1.text1.text or Parent.Controls("Text1").Text

The name of my control is LEDDISPLAY, and all I want to know if it is possible to change a value of the user control, in the main project.exe itself.


I am making a timer program and it will show multiple led screens.
I plan on using control arrays.

Maybe I need to give my control a property that holds the time I want displayed, since properties can be changed at runtime.

Oh, that's different. Add a PUBLIC PROPERTY to your usercontrol, maybe something like Public Property Let DisplayValue(vValue As Long). Then change your LED within that property.
