If you do not need to send just the text from Form1's TextBox1 to Form2's TextBox1, but need to copy the entire TextBox control from Form1 and add it Form2, see if this helps.

Dim txt As TextBox = TextBox1
        'txt.Location = New Point(0, 0) '// If Location needs to be changed.
        Form2.Controls.Add(txt)
        Form2.Show()

Hi,

I've used this in VB 2008 and works:

Dim form2 As New Form2
        form2.TextBox1.Text = Me.TextBox1.Text
        form2.TextBox1.Enabled = True
        form2.Show()
        Me.Hide()

All you need to do is add a button and textbox in form1 and textbox in form2.
Put then this code into the button event.

However, if you really want to copy the entire textbox, location and size then Codeorder's code is better.
