Hello,
I have Form1 - the main form with some controls including a button.
I have Form2 - the properties form with a combobox and button. The user can
select the colors of a button in the combobox in Form2 and press "OK". What
code should I add to "OK" so that the user can change the colors of a button
in Form1?

Public variables must be created in the receiving form, such as:
In Form1:
public Color col;
then this variable can be called and written to.
The form(s) also need a definitive reference to one another. Not to
just the class such as Form1.xxx, but to the specific instance of the
form in question, such as:
In Form1:
Form2 myKid = new Form2;
myKid.myDad = this;
myKid.Show();
In Form2:
public Form1 myDad;
then you can write code in Form2 such as:
myDad.col = Color.FromARGB( 206, 206, 244);
This code is not tested and is informational, but should be enough to
get you going.

I have a main form (Form1) which opens a second form (Form2) when a button

Form2 contains two buttons, one which unpins it from Form1 by setting

and setting .Owner to false. The other buttons click event reverses, this
by setting .Owner to the

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
