I have a UserControl

XML

<UserControl x:Name="MainForm" x:Class="Docker"
...
<CheckBox x:Name="cGroups" Content="Inside Groups"/>
...
</UserControl>

and a separate Module called MainModule.vb that is within the same project.
There is a checkbox named 'cGroups' on the UserControl form that I need to reference from MainModule to get it's value.

How would I go about this?

I'd suggest to read this:
Try it: Create a custom WPF control[^]

Really? You have to create a custom control in order to access it outside the original code behind? Sounds kind of convoluted if you ask me. Seems like you should be able to do something like (Docker.cGroups.Value)
