passing txbox value in child form to mdi form

[jpack23]

I have a save button on a toolstrip on the MDI parent form. I want to save values in textboxes on the child form when I click on this "save" button. In the button click event for the save button I cant get the value from the text boxes. I want to pass these text box values to another class property so I can save them to a database

Private Sub tsbtnSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tsbtnSubmit.Click


Dim objActivities As New Activities

objActivities.ValueOne = childform.txtboxone.text
objActivities.ValueTwo = childform.txtboxtwo.text
The value that show for the childform txtbox is nothing.

Can some help me with getting these value to the activities class properties using the a "save" button on the mdi form

thank you very much

Joe

jebenson,

I am trying to use property to accomplish this task like the example:
Private Property ReceiveText() As String
Get
Return txtReceive.Text
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String) txtReceive.Text = Value End Set
End Property

I reworked this a little bit, From my child form I set a property in another class called "textItems". On the Maind MDI form the save button calls a sub in a 3rd class call "Activity" where I want to get that text box value to validate and save to a database

Public Class textItems
Private mstrTextboxValueOne as String

#Region "Properties"
Public Property TxtValueOne() as Strign
Get
TxtValueOne = mstrTextBoxValueOne
End Get
Set(byVal Value As String)
mstrTextBoxValueOne = value
End Set
End Property
#End Region
End Class

From the child I set this property

Public sub SaveTextValues
Dim objTextValues as New textItems

With objtextValues
.TxtValueOne = txtBoxOne.text
End With

as far as I can tell this does save the value I can see the value in mstrTextBoxValueOne

on the parent form I have the save button

Public Class frmMainMDIParent

Private sub tsbtnSubmit_Click
dim objActivity as new Activity
objActivity.SubmitandValidate

End Sub
End Class


Public Class Activity
Public Sub SubmitandValidate
Dim strtextOneValue as String
Dim objTextBoxValues as new TextItems
strtextOneValue = objTextBoxValues.TxtValueOne
Validate(strtextOneValue)
**** at this point objTextBoxValues.TxtValueOne is reading as nothing.

end Class


Any help would be appreciated.

thanks very much for your time
