need help with form2.checkbox.checkstate

[sander2828]

Private Sub BackgroundWorker1_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker1.DoWork

while 1

if form2.checkbox.checkstate= 1 then
                MsgBox(Form2.Checkbox.Checkstate)
            End If

        End While
    End Sub

i don't know why but if form2.checkbox is checked or not it returns 0
and with form2.checkbox.checked it returns false even if it should be true

Try this

        If form2.checkbox.checked = True Then
            MsgBox("True")
        ElseIf form2.checkbox.checked = False Then
            MsgBox("False")
        End If

i did and i did again but still it gives me false even when checkbox is checked.
i am using background worker on form1 but checkboxes are in form2

when i use the your code before my program uses background worker it returns me true but when i use your code in background worker it returns false

Try to use a Button with the same code.

In my program it works perfectly.

i played around with the code a little and tested if i depends on that checkbox being in different form than background worker matters in matter of fact it does since when i made checkbox into form1(same form with backgroundworker) it worked so any idea how to make it work with form 2 ?

and i added you to skype my skype name is margus.nightcore

I guess that your problem is on the while statement. If you want to realize action when your bworker is working use:

BackgroundWorker.IsBuy

you mighty also add

Application.DoEvents()

otherwhise the program will freeze.

^Please kill yourself.


NEVER USE DOEVENTS

you cant because checkbox is a class not a control name -.- it has to be something like this

if form2.checkbox1.checked = true then 'you cant use checkbox as a control name'
   msgbox("true")
else
   msgbox("false")
end if
'if you want to declare outside of form designer then do this'
dim testcheckbox as new checkbox
