Question

I have a winform with a button that the user clicks when they want to generate a certain report. When this button is clicked, another winform opens up. The second winform has a text box and a button to take you back to the first winform.

When the second from opens up, I want the text box to already have the report displayed. Therefore, all the user has to do is is look at it and go back to the previous form when finished.

To do this, would I assign the text box to the appropriate method and put it in a Form1_Load event method?

I’ve never used the Form1_Load event method so I’m a little unsure if this is the proper way of doing it.

Answer 1

Yes, of course, in the Form_Load event you have access to all of your controls already Initialized by the form constructor via InitializeComponent().
Then you can call

private void Form_Load(object s, EventArgs e)
{
    textBox1.Text = "your_report_title";
}
