RE: Widget referencing in VB events.

Thanks for your responses guys.

The 'relative owner' route works perfectly...........

   $self->owner->Button2->text("abcd");

and that is good for peer widgets that have the same owner.

But the other approach suggested by Anton doesn't work for me........

   $::application->Form1->Button2->text("abcd");

This doesn't appear to do anything. I don't get an error message. If I
change Form1 to Form99 (which doesn't exist) then I get an 'Unknown widget
or method' error (not surprising).

Rick.

$self->owner->Button2->text
  or
$::application->Form1->Button2->text
