Question

Suppose I have two forms: Form1 and Form2. Form2 has a text control named text1

In VB6 I could write to Form 2’s textbox

control from Form1 by using: Form2.Text1.text = “Some text here”

How can I make this work in C#? I have tried everything!

What I have tried:

Form2 Frm2 = new Form2();
Frm2.show();
Frm2.Activate(); // Trying everything to make sure it sees the form (it does).

Frm2.Text1 (Doesn't find the control)...

ANSWER:

I ended up making a public routine in Form2, and then just calling this routine from form1. In this public routine of Form2 I would then call the textbox!

Answer 1

My goal was add text to a Text Box on another form. I had Form1 and Form2. Form2 has a text box control named Text1. In order to make this work, I created a Sub Routine:

public Void WriteToText(string sData)
{
// Here is where I wrote to my textbox
Text1.text = sData;
}

Form 1 code:

Form2 Frm2 = new Form2();
Frm2.WriteToText("My Data");
