Static reference

Getting Started

Hi!

i have a “action” on window2, that trys to modify the text in a label in
window1 (window1.Label3.Text=“FA-Nummer…”)

But i get this error “Static referenz to instance method:call this instance of class…” ?

is it not able to modify “something” directly from another window? Anymore?

Thanks!

Do you have “Implicit Instance” set to OFF in the Inspector for Window1?

For what is it?

From User Guide Book 2: User Interface:

[quote]ImplicitInstance?
When True, you can refer to the window by its name anywhere in the project. When False, you need to have an explicit instance in order to access the window.[/quote]

With it ON, you can not refer to the instance of the window by its name. You instead need to have a variable or property just like you would need to access a class instance:

Dim w As New Window1 w.Label3.Text = "Some text"
