Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - VB .Net -- manipulating a status bar from a module

SirLance · 05-22-2006, 10:52 AM

I'm new to .net and I'm a bit frustrated by something.

In VB 6, if I put a status bar on a form, and I want to change it's .txt property from another form or a module, I'd say form1.statusbar.txt = "The Text".

If I try something similar in .net, it doesn't work. The message is "reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference."

OK, fine. I don't give a crap. All I'd like to do is change the form's status bar's text from someplace other than in the form. Can someone give me an example?

TIA!
