form event linking

[filipe26]

Hi.I have two forms and the event onformshow is the same that the other.What im trying to do is to do a linking.

I have in the form.onshow inverno the code .

And in the verao.onshow event i have inverno.onshow(verao) "verao as sender"

code in the inverno form is

with sender do
listbox.dosomething

But the listbox does always is the form inverno and not on the form verao

Why?

The modern approach to this might be to use a frame that contains a listbox, several forms can then share this, I haven't got up to speed on these myself so I can be 100% about that.
otherwise, it depends on what exactly you are doing, if you were just talking about code with no attached components then several forms can 'use' code in an untyped unit (.pas) file.
Components (e.g a listbox) are descendants of the forms they are on but you can refer to a component on any form from any other with form1.listbox1.etc, provided that you place the 'uses' clause in the implementation section of the code to avoid circular references.

e.g. this uses clause has untyped and typed modules

uses Failed, StringUtils, D7Utils, waitfrm, txpromt;
