Question

I have a combobox on form1 that I need to call on form2 to get the user selection. Can some one please give me an example on how to do this?

EDIT: Forgot to explain what Im trying to do. I have a readonly textbox….a user clicks edit to edit the text but I want the text they want/chose to edit to pop up right when form2 is called.

I have this code on form1

    public string SelectedComboValue
    {
        get { return comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString(); }
    }

And this code on form 2

    EDIT: Added Form1 form1 = null; BUT its still not returning the SelectedComboValue
    public Form2(Form1 parentForm1) : this()
    {
         form1 = parentForm1;
    }

But it gave me an error saying that form1 is not in this context

Answer 1

I suppose that Form1 is the parent of Form2, so when you create the Form2 you use code like this

Form2 f = new Form2(this);

then in the Form2 class you should have a declaration like this

Form1 _parentForm = null;

and in the Form2 constructor

public Form2(Form1 parentForm1) 
{          
    _parentForm = parentForm1;     
} 

If this is true then you can call

_parentForm.SelectedComboValue ;

to get the result required
