Hi all,
I have an application with a few different Windows forms. I am trying to
update a statusbar panel's text that is in the main form, from another form.
When I set the statusbar and the statusbar panels to public and shared in
VS.net's property box it will work. However, whenever I make any
modifications to the main form it will remove the shared property and I will
get build errors about accessing the panels with "this.".
Is there a better way to make the text of the statusbar panels accessible
from other classes/forms?
Thank you for any help, I've about googled my eyes out looking for the
answer to this!

Leave the statusbar field as private and add a property that accesses it
publicly.

Thanks for the quick Reply Bob, I have tried to add a property to set the
private statusbar field. However, when I add the "static" modifier to the
property, I can no longer see the private statusbar field within the
property.
Thanks again for any insight.

Obviously not because the status bar field is an instance field.
Why do you think you need a static modifier?

Hi all i`m having a small problem with windows forms, i`m attempting to
provide the following functionality to a form.
Ability to drag and drop another form onto a form and then to dock this
form...
Quite a mouthful however a good example of this is within the VS.NET 6 IDE.
Grab your solution explorer panel and drop it outside of the IDE, then
drag/drop it back in and watch it dock.

Hi all,
as you can see from the level of my question, i am pretty new to c# and
programming in general.
situation: i would like to update the UI of a form (main form of my
application) from a second form (which was called from the first).
Ideally when a button on the second form is pressed, the first one
(main form) should update/refresh its UI.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
