Help on changing label text

[duelforce1]

Hi, Can someone help please, I really need to get the text on a label to change to what is inputed by the user on the previous login form
The text box where the username is entered is called UserNameBox and the label is called Label1

So whatever is put in the text box i need it to be writen in the label on another form
Any help is really appreiciated

Label1.Text = UserNameBox.Text

You will need to declare form variables.

I tried that but it still isnt working.. :/
You said to declare the variables, what do I have to do for that? Sorry im really new to this

Your easiest way is to do the following -

Form2.Label1.Caption = UserNameBox
Me.Hide 'Or what ever your loginform is calle i.e. frmLogin.Hide

Go to this link where vb5prgrmr gave a solution to a similar problem before

Several ways in which to do this and here are three...

1.) (Pass) Add a module and declare a public string variable and when user hits ok, you set the variable with the string you want. Then when the other form loads, that form retrieves the value and displays it in your label.

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
MyString = Text1.Text
Form2.Show
Unload Me
End Sub
'--------------
'main <strong class="highlight">form</strong> that displays input
Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
Label1.Caption = MyString
End Sub

2.) (Push) From the form that recieves the input you can directly set the value of the label.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Load Form2
Form2.Label1.Caption = Text1.Text
Form2.Show
End Sub

3.) (Pull) When user clicks OK you hide the input form, show the display form and pull the information from the input form.
