How to update StatusStrip from class to form?

[musa.biralo]

Hello:

Please forgive my question. I have interest to learn but not the
knowledge to solve. Hope to get help..

I have a Form1 with StatusStrip and a Class1 class-file in a project.
I want to pass a string message from my Class1 to my Form1. Please
help me. I am trying in VB.NET

If you could direct me to similar example that will work too.

Many thanks.

Hello Musa,

Many ways available to pass string to form1 from calss1 but now I am tell one simple way to pass string to form1

Assume your status strip contain Label

Public Class Class1

     Sub New()

        'you can directly access the label *see below   

        Form1.ToolStripStatusLabel1.Text = "This message from class1"

    End Sub

 End Class

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        Dim s As Class1 = New Class1

 End Sub

End Class

When user click the button then appered that message in status label

*Note : That faclity avliable when Modifiers for Status label is Public or Friend

Hi Arun,
Thanks for the reply and explain things.

With your help I was able to get things but what i noticed that the
StatusLabel is not updating. I have several status notice at several
steps of the code in class (Not form) and none of them are updating.

I was able to get status update in simple example.

Your help or any direction to the web will be highly appreciated.

Thanks again Arun.

I don't how Arun's solution worked. It was not working for me. What I
did was like below.

Public Class Form1

'' Windows Form Designer generated code is hidden

Private WithEvents c1 As class1

Private Sub UpdateStatusStrip(ByVal msg As String) Handles
c1.UpdateStatus
Label1.Text = msg
End Sub

End Class

Public Class class1
Public Sub New()

End Sub

Public Event UpdateStatus(ByVal msg As String)

Private Sub DoSomething()

' Where ever I need to send an update to UI
Call UpdateStatus("Show my message")

End Sub

End Class
