title: How to check a checkbox of form 1 from another form in vb.net?
body: <p>I have two forms, form 1 and form 2 (windows application). How can i access and check a checkbox in form 1 from form 2. Initially i tried calling the form name and then the control like <code>form1.chkCanada.checked = true</code>, it did not work. And then i added a property in form 1 </p>
  
  <pre><code>Public Property abc As Boolean
      Get
          Return chkCanadianStmtInd.Checked
      End Get
      Set(value As Boolean)
          chkCanadianStmtInd.Checked = value
      End Set
  End Property
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then in form 2 </p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim frm As New frm1
  frm.abc = True  'Checked
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And it still doesnt work. Am i missing anything here?</p>
