access open binarystream globally

General
1

Once a binary stream has been opened and sequentially read under one control, can that same binary stream be continued to be read under another control.

I suppose what I am asking is, can a binary stream be accessed globally.

Sure, just store it somewhere accessible like a Global or Protected module property, class’ Shared Property, or, if all those controls are in the same window, a window property.

If you try to access that BinaryStream from Threads, best protect access with a Semaphore or CriticalSection.
