Options

[cdoverlaw]

Hi
My program has an options form which needs to allow the user to chose whether they want the program to always be on top, i am using the code

Private Sub cmdOK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdOK.Click
        If chkTop.Checked = True Then
            Me.TopMost = True
        End If

        Me.Hide()

End Sub

but i want this to apply to my form called frmMain.vb which is already open, how can i do this, i tried

frmMain.TopMost = True

but i got an errror

You are going to have to send a reference to frmMain in to the Sub New() of your other, not-frmMain, form.
Sub New(TopForm As Form)
and declare a variable in the Form class that you can access from cmdOK_Click
Private MyTopForm As Form
Then, you can set MyTopForm.TopMost .

*sigh*

Private ReferenceTofrmMain As Form
Public Sub New(PassfrmMainHere As Form)
ReferenceTofrmMain = PassfrmMainHere

And then you access the ReferenceTofrmMain as if it was frmMain.
