Multiple Screens and Global Variables

[Daniel Van Zant]

I was wondering how to use Global Variables or something else to transfer information across multiple screens. For instance could I have a textbox on screen1 and then tie the textbox.text to a variable That I can then access from screen2 or screen 3?

Global variables are NOT 'global.'   Variables only work on the screen they are defined on.    If you have lots of variables to pass, the best way is to use a TinyDB on each screen you require the variable.   Create a Tag for your variable.  The TinyDB on the other screens can use the same Tag.   When on the other screen on its Screen2.Initialize, retrieve the Tag and assign it to a variable on that screen.     Yes, you have to have a variable there and it can have the same name as the variable on your original screen.

Here is what the forum knows about passing variables or passing values   https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/mitappinventortest/passing$20variables
