How to pass a structure to a form subroutine

I've the following structure:

Structure MyStruct
Dim x As String
Dim y As String
End Structure

In one of my form (Form1), I have this sub:

Sub Test(byref XXX as MyStruct)

.......

end sub

I then try to pass in the structure by doing this:

Dim mmm as MyStruct
Form1.Text(mmm)

The above caused an error when in the Sub declaration:

This is the error: XXX cannot expose type MyStruct outside the project through class Form1

Can someone please help?

TIA

My first guess is that it's to do with what access you have declared
the struct as. I did cut and paste the error message into google and
it came up with this:

Try declaring the struct public? (e.g. public structure MyStruct...)
