How do I set control properties between winforms

Hi,

I'm using properties and overloaded contructors for pass data between winforms, and it works very well, however, I can’t set some properties for windows controls, for example, I'm trying to set the label.Text property that it's located in a Winform called "frmPlanificador", from another Winform called "frmActividades", but it doesn’t work yet.

This is that I'm trying to do :
**********************************************************************************************************
formPlanificador.PKActividad = pkActividad;
formPlanificador.lblActividad.Text = ObjEncryptDecrypt.Decrypt(ObjActividad.NombreActividad.Valor.ToString());
formPlanificador.enableComponents(true);
**********************************************************************************************************
I'm executing that code from another form, the "PKActividad" property works fine, but "formPlanificador.lblActividad.Text" always is blank...

Thanks in advance

Thanks,

In fact, I tried this: "formPlanificador.lblActividad.Text = "Hello World"; but it doesn't work either.
The sentence: "ObjEncryptDecrypt.Decrypt(ObjActividad.NombreActividad.Valor.ToString())" returns a good string, I think that isn’t the problem.

I declare tho object here:
SAVP.Planificador.frmPlanificador formPlanificador;

After that, I create the the object:
formPlanificador = new SAVP.Planificador.frmPlanificador();

Then, in the Click Event:
private void btnSeleccionar_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    formPlanificador.PKActividad = pkActividad;
    formPlanificador.lblActividad.Text = ObjEncryptDecrypt.Decrypt(ObjActividad.NombreActividad.Valor.ToString());
    formPlanificador.enableComponents(true);
    this.Close();
}

and that's it...

I don’t know what is going on

I did a very simple test of one form changing the value of a label in an other form and it work. I think your problem is not in this part the the code.

Is

ObjEncryptDecrypt.Decrypt(ObjActividad.NombreActividad.Valor.ToString());

return a good string

Are you changing the right label, do you have a good reference to your form

So in frmActividades you actually create a new instance of formPlanificador You should pass it as a parameter or in the constructor of frmActividades.
