Reference a control that’s is outside your View, or on your MainPage if you’re using NavigationFrame or your “Parent” window.

Assumption: MainPage UserControl page is your starting page and has a NavigationFrame and a View is loaded in a content window.

Method 1: (Assuming “MainPage” is the name of your MainPage or the x:Class it uses, x:Class="<AppName>.MainPage" and the TextBlock named “lblStep1”)

Dim Main As MainPage = CType(<AppName>.App.Current.RootVisual, MainPage)
        CType(Main.FindName("lblStep1"), TextBlock).Text = "Hello Test123"

Or Method 2:

CType(CType(<AppName>.App.Current.RootVisual, MainPage).FindName("lblStep1"), TextBlock).Text = "Updated Text"
 

 

Reference a Control in a User Control that’s on the same view.

  1. CType(siTest.FindName("lblStep1"), TextBlock).Text = "Testing"
