Hi and welcome to the Forum,

Assuming that what you mean is to show the Text in TextBox1 on Form1 in TextBox2 on Form2 then you can use a Constructor in Form2 to pass the Text value from TextBox1 to Form2 and then the Constructor sets the Text value in TextBox2. i.e:-

Define the Constructor you need in Form2:-

Public Class Form2
  Public Sub New()
    ' This call is required by the designer.
    InitializeComponent()
    ' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.
  End Sub
 
  Public Sub New(ByVal strSomeTextFromForm1 As String)
    ' This call is required by the designer.
    InitializeComponent()
 
    ' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.
    TextBox2.Text = strSomeTextFromForm1
  End Sub
End Class

Then open Form2 with the following code:-

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
  Dim myForm2 As New Form2(TextBox1.Text)
  myForm2.Show()
End Sub

Hope that helps,

Cheers,

Ian
