Hey you guys, i'm having trouble with this. this is for a college assignment.
I'm making a "Jeopardy" game for my final in a programming class and i having trouble passing a variable from the child from to the parent form. so far i got:
//parent form
public partial class ParentForm : Form
{
string playersname;
public ParentForm(string strParam) //i have it set up to set this as "Enter Name Here"
{
InitializeComponent();
if (strParam == "Enter name here")
{
Form Child1 = new Child1(strParam);
Child1.ShowDialog();
playersname = Child1.PlayersName;
label1.Text = playersname;
}
}
//the rest of the code
}
//child form
public partial class Child1 : Form
{
public string PlayersName
{
get;
}
public Form1(string strParam)
{
InitializeComponent();
textBox1.Text = strParam;
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//i'm betting that something goes here
this.Close();
}
private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SetPlayersName(textBox1.Text);
}
private void textBox1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (textBox1.Text == "Enter name here")
{
textBox1.Text = "";
}
else
{
textBox1.SelectAll();
}
}
public string SetPlayersName(string Name)
{
Name = PlayersName;
return PlayersName;
}
}
the child form contains a Name textbox and a submit button (which closes the window)
this is all done in Visual Studio 2008
