Question

with this code I can create at runtime textbox components:

 List<TextBox> customTextBox = new List<TextBox>();

 foreach (string ValutaCustomScelta in Properties.Settings.Default.ValuteCustom)
     {
       TextBox textbox = new TextBox();
       textbox.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(295, 117 + customTextBox.Count * 26);       textbox.BackColor = Color.Black;
       textbox.ForeColor = Color.Lime;
       textbox.Parent = tabPage2;
       textbox.Name = "textbox_" + SelectValute;
       textbox.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(80, 21);

       customTextBox.Add(textbox);
       tabPage2.Controls.Add(textbox);
       tabPage2.Controls.SetChildIndex(textbox, 0);
      }

This code is placed in form 2, but I need the that textboxes are created to be in form1. I dont know which instruction is needed to add it in this code.

Thanks in advance

EDIT:

You need to keep a reference to Form1 in Form2. For example:

public partial class Form2 : Form {
    private Form1 _form1;

    public Form2(Form1 form) {
        _form1 = form;
    }
}

Then you can use this in Form2:

_form1.Controls.Add(textbox);
_form1.Controls.SetChildIndex(textbox, 0);

You’ll need to create Form2 like this (from Form1):

Form2 form2 = new Form2(this);
