Re-enable my toolbar button again...

[The_Coolest_Dolphin]

Hi C# wizards,
I would like to ask you the following question:
I'm working on a program with a mainform (a mdiParent called frmMain) and a
childform (called frmNieuwk).
I use the library from CommandBar that gives me the new Luna look from
Micros$oft, so that gives me a toolbar + menubar with several buttons.

Situation is as follows:

When I click on my button newclientButton follwing happens:

private void frmNieuwk_Click (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
frmNieuwk Nieuwe_Klant = new frmNieuwk();
Nieuwe_Klant.Md iParent = this;
Nieuwe_Klant.Sh ow();
this.nklantButt on.IsEnabled = false; // <--- this is
the button I spoke about
}

This shows my new client form and disables the button in my toolbar in the
mainform. But now when I close my new client form I also want to enable the
button again. But how? I just cannot access the toolbarbuttons properties
anymore from my clientform. I just wonna enable the button again :-s

I know it's a rather newbie question but I really need help with this. Why
o why did I ever started with VB6 instead of C.... :-(

Any ideas? Help would be appreciated bigtime !

in the Closed event of the child form you can do something like this:

(frmMain)(this. MdiParent).nkla ntButton.IsEnab led = true;

oops, it's my fault, the parenthesis are at the wrong place:

((frmMain)this. MdiParent).nkla ntButton.IsEnab led = true;

should work

I've tried this but he cannot find my "nklantButt on".

In my code I've defined nklantButton as follows:
namespace AFS_Soft_2
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Form1.
/// </summary>
public class frmMain : System.Windows. Forms.Form
{
public System.Componen tModel.IContain er components;

public CommandBarManag er commandBarManag er = new
CommandBarManag er();
public CommandBar menuBar = new CommandBar
(CommandBarStyl e.Menu);
public CommandBar toolBar = new CommandBar
(CommandBarStyl e.ToolBar);

public CommandBarItem nklantButton;

.......
public void frmMain_Load(ob ject sender, System.EventArg s e)
{

// Definitions for the "Nieuw" menu
this.nklantButt on = new CommandBarButto n(Images.New, "Nieuwe
&klant", new EventHandler(fr mNieuw_Click), Keys.Control | Keys.N);
this.nklantButt on.IsEnabled = true;
......

private void frmNieuw_Click( object sender, EventArgs e)
{
frmNieuwk Nieuwe_Klant = new frmNieuwk();
Nieuwe_Klant.Md iParent = this;
Nieuwe_Klant.Sh ow();
this.nklantButt on.IsEnabled = false;
}
In my form frmNieuwk I cannot access the nklantButton via above mentioned
method proposed by Benoit.

(frmMain)(this. MdiParent).nkla ntButton.IsEnab led = true;

Any idea?
