Hi Omar,
The logic in your code is not very clear.
As you said, the frm_myProducts is a parent form, but what does
"frm_myProducts.MdiParent = this;" mean?
What is "test"?
For your problem, you should create a overloading constructor in class
Form2
which takes a form1 reference parameter.
Then you can do pass the reference of form1 like this:
Form2 form2 = new Form2(frm_myProducts);
Hope this helps,
Best regards,

| Thanks for the info.
| In my case, I open both at the same time through a mainMenu in my MDI
| container.
|
| This is the code in the mainMenu:
| frm_AddNewProduct frm_myProducts = new frm_AddNewProduct(); //the parent
|
| frm_myProducts.MdiParent = this;
|
| frm_myProducts.Show();
|
| Form2 form2 = new Form2(); //Form2 inherited from frm_myProducts
|
| test.MdiParent = this;
|
| test.Show();
|
|
|
| How would I change this code (the reference part you mentioned) so I can
| manipulate any control in frm_AddNewProduct from Form2 (inherited from
| frm_AddNewProduct).
|
| Thanks again,
|
| Omar
