Setting Textbox text on another form

[nd54]

hello all I am trying to set a textbox text so when I click a button it sets the text on that form into the textbox on another form
here is what I got

dim F3 as new form3
f3.textbox1.text = textbox1.text

when I click the button it doesnt add the textbox to the form3 textbox what am i doing wrong

in form3 textbox one needs to be declared as public. Or preferably ad a property procedure to form3 for access to the textbox contents.

How would I add a property procedure

The easiest and probably the best way would be to pass your forms instance in a constructor. Then you can manipulate the form and its controls.
