iOS Question Trying to get a reference to a Webview from a Class Module

[Falcon]

Hi Guys,

I have a form (frmBrowser) with a Webview control on it, which I made in the designer.
Now, from a Class Module I first load that form, then I iterate through the controls on the form until I find the Webview (I look for a Tag of 'WebBrowser' which I gave it in the designer).
This is so that I can grab a reference to the Webview and then set it equal to an internal Webview variable in the class module.
I then set it's URL and respond to it's events from within my class module.

The problem I am having is that sometimes my code compiles with no errors, and other times it stops with an error of 'expected expression'
I have indicated with a comment below the line that causes the error.

All I am trying to do here is control a Webview I have on a form from within my Class Module so that I can set it's URL and respond to it's events from within my Class Module.


This is the code (from within my Class module)

     Sub Class_Globals
            Private WebBrowser As WebView 
     End Sub


     Sub GetWebBrowserReference()

       'Load my form containing the Web Browser
       PageRoot_.RootPanel.LoadLayout("frmBrowser")
       Sleep(0)  'Wait for form to finish loading, not sure if this is correct way of doing it??

       'Now Look at each control on the form I just loaded in succession.....
        For Each v As View In PageRoot_.RootPanel.GetAllViewsRecursive
           
            'If I found a Webview.....
            If GetType(v).Trim.ToLowerCase.Contains("webview") = True Then
               
                '....if it Is the one I am looking For, ie. Tag = 'WebBrowser'
                If v.Tag = "WebBrowser" Then
                   
                    'Grab a reference To it. 
                    WebBrowser = v       '<<<<<< This line causes the compile error.
                                 
                   'Get out of the Loop.
                   Exit
           
            End If
           
           End If
           
        Next

End Sub

Thank you very much in Advance!

Regards,
Jacques.

Sleep(0) 'Wait for form to finish loading, not sure if this is correct way of doing it??

Just increase this number & test until you got it work fine

Hi Hah,

Thanks for your reply.
The problem is that I still get the 'expected expression' error when I try to compile the code.

WebBrowser = v <<<<<< It happens on this line.

It seems to me that it's better to create CustomView instead of Standard Class.
I did a small sample, which demonstrates how it is possible to retrieve WebView and another views.
