Referencing a custome FORM control from "AdxOutlookAppEvents1_ItemSend" event

All,

In my vb.netproject, thee are 2 files: frmMain (my stnadard vb.net form) and AddinModule.vb (add in expression vb module).

I am calling "AdxOutlookAppEvents1_ItemSend", and it is working fine. 

Private Sub AdxOutlookAppEvents1_ItemSend(sender As Object, e As ADXOlItemSendEventArgs) Handles AdxOutlookAppEvents1.ItemSend



Within this event, I would like to refer to a value on my form. For example, frmMain (my form) contains a text box (txtValue). I would like to get txtValue within "AdxOutlookAppEvents1_ItemSend" event. Is that possible?

Thanks.

Hello Fumi,

You call ADXOlFormsCollectionItem.GetForm({an Explorer or Inspector object here}) to get an ADXOlForm. Then you cast the ADXOlFrom to your form class type e.g. frmMain. Finally, you access the control; you may need to have a public method accessing the control or to make that control public.

Andrei, thanks for getting back to me.

Do you have any samples of this implementation on the website or the developer's manual?

Thanks.
