Hello All,
I have a small issue with passing a string to a textbox.. the senario is as follow:
Form1 is opened with textbox1 and button1
When pressing button1, form2 opens to allow searching in a database.
Results of form2 search are listed in listview1.
selecting the required reslt is by clicking the desired item in listview1.
Now.. I need to pass the result to textbox1 in form1 that is already opened.

In your form1, you could create a method to set the text in your textbox:
Public Sub setText(newText as String)
text1.Text = newText
End Sub
Just call this function in the event of you listbox this way.
'Inside the click event of listview
Dim myForm As Form1 = DirectCast(Me.Owner, Form1)
myForm.setText(listview.Text <Or whatever the result is>)
' end snippet
BTW, in showing your form2, you must ust the form2.Show(this) method so that the owner would be set to form1...

Thank you it worked with a tiny modificartion. I had to declare form2 as owned by form1 while opening form2
Dim fv as New Form2
fv.Owner=me
fv.show()
Thanks again

use a property to manipulate the text in form1. and pass form1 in the construcor of form2.
