Posts: 12                Lets say I do this in app.open, in a project where 
there is not set any default windows to open when executing the software:

Dim w As New someMainWindow
w.show

Then, inside this new instanced window "w", i got a button that has this code 
in the pushbutton.action event:

Dim w As New someConfigWindow
w.show

Then i want the new instance of the "someConfigWindow" to be able to reference 
back to a already defined method or property stored in the other instanced 
"someMainWindow" that instanced the new someConfigWindow. But how do i do that? 

What i mean is, how do i know what "parent" window that had the button that 
created the new instance of the "someConfigWindow" so that i can reference to 
variables inside the parent window like:

parentWindow.someStoredString = "some text to update"

or

parentWindow.someSubRoutine("some data")

Ive tried a bunch of self-made solutions, but i always get error: "This method 
or property does not exist"

Ive also read the docs, and the only refernece system if found that is almost 
like what i want is "self." and "me.", however, im looking for kind of a 
"parent." that goes one step further back than "self.", if that makes any sense.

I'm not sure if i've managed to explain the problem in such a way that it is 
understandable to anyone here. *scratches my head - not much hair left

I hope someone here can help me out of this mystery. Thanks in advance.
