Problem with textlabel from another form

[stefano.menci]

If you want a variable to be accessible from two forms, then you need to store it outside of the two forms.

These two posts talk about different approaches to this problem:

Accessing a variable on another form without using get_open_form or self.parent

You could create a module called Globals and import it on all your forms, then you can use Globals.x = x to assign a value and x = Globals.x to read it. It will work on any form. This thread discusses some details about a similar problem. If you have time to butcher and rebuild your app, this post describes another way to manage the info visible by all the forms in one single variable in the Globals module. It would require tons of restructuring (which you don’t want to do ) but …

Working with global variables

An option that you can only use if you have a main form that loads other forms in its container, that is if your main form is created once and exists forever, is to create the global variables on the main form and access them with get_open_form().global_variable. A more elegant option is to create a module and call it Globals where you define all your global variables. Then you import that module on all the forms and you have access to all the variables defined in Globals.
